Polygon UL Jacket YLOC XL
A double layer of FINEPOLYGON, Finetrack's innovative 3D thermal insulation material, offers extra warmth. FINEPOLYGON retains its loft and insulating properties even when exposed to moisture from sweat, water or snow. The shell fabric maintains a balance between air permeability and windproofness, and the lining is hydrophilically finished for effective moisture management.
As a result, POLYGON UL JACKET provides effective perspiration control and comfort during your outdoor pursuits.
This innovative jacket can be worn as L3 MID LAYER for active insulation in cold weather, and its convenient pocketable design makes it a highly portable option on its own in the warmer seasons.
POLYGON UL is machine washable (using a laundry net) and easy to care for, taking less than a day to dry.
■Convenient pocketable design allows POLYGON UL to fit in right inner pocket.
■LINKVENT on both sides of the torso for flexible, efficient ventilation when needed.
■Two hand pockets and two inner pockets.
※Avoid using fabric softeners.

FINEPOLYGON®
Finetrack®'s innovative 3D thermal insulation material, FINEPOLYGON®, is made of ultra-thin, ultra-light, non-woven synthetic fiber fabric with a three-dimensional structure achieved through our unique wrinkle shape-retention process. This singular insulation sheet material is surprisingly lightweight, warm, compact, and extremely water-resistant.
*FINEPOLYGON® is patented Finetrack® technology.
Retains Bulk, Loft and Warmth, Even When Wet
FINEPOLYGON®, our unique sheet-type 3D thermal insulation material, is completely different from other insulation materials such as down and synthetic cotton, with superior water-resistance. FINEPOLYGON® maintains its loft and retains warmth even when wet.
Comparison Data for Heat Retention Rates in Wet Conditions
The FINEPOLYGON® jacket is completely soaked in water, then placed in a spin dryer for 30 seconds. Afterward, the jacket is put on a thermal mannequin to measure heat retention for a duration of 30 to 40 minutes.
FINEPOLYGON®, constructed from a hydrophobic polyester material that maintains loft even when wet, reduces water absorption via its low fiber content, enabling it to retain 70% of its warmth even when wet.
Quick-Drying Performance
FINEPOLYGON® boasts excellent quick-drying properties. Whether it becomes wet from multi-day activities, inclement weather, or perspiration from a vigorous hike, it dries rapidly, so you can wear it throughout your activity.
Comparison Data for Quick-Drying Performance
Each thermal insulation material is moistened and placed in a spin dryer for 2 minutes, simulating the wringing process done by hand. The materials are then dried in a room at 20°C and 65% humidity, with no wind. The time it takes to reach 5% moisture content (nearly dry) is measured, factoring out the water originally present in the material.
What makes a comfortable Mid Layer for active outdoor pursuits?
Insulation alone cannot provide optimal comfort
Insulating garments such as fleece and interior down can overheat, while moisture can accumulate on the inside of the garment, causing stuffiness during your hike, snowshoe trek, or other outdoor activity.Sweat-soaked insulated clothing makes it difficult to maintain warmth.
A Mid Layer that keeps you warm while properly managing sweat keeps you dry and comfortable!
That's why it's essential for your mid-layer to not only keep you warm, but also to handle moisture from your exertion. The Finetrack® lineup of Mid Layers, carefully crafted for all seasons and situations, offers both warmth and superior perspiration management performance to keep you dry and comfortable on your outdoor adventures.
