Seasons FABRICS OF THE FUTURE Heattech: This high-tech fabric actually creates heat. Polartec Neoshell: This clothing allows air exchange at the surface that makes it water and wind resistant without restricting its wicking ability to release heat and sweat. ThermoBall: Millions of miniature cotton balls (.15 inches in diameter) float inside pockets and trap body-heated air. Core Technology: Membrane is placed in a knitting machine and yarn is knitted around and through the membrane to produce a single layer fabric. Hydrophobic down: Down insulator is treated with a durable, water repellent to help it retain loft and stay warmer in wet weather. Omni-heat thermal reflective: This breathable fabric is covered with small silver dots that reflect body heat. D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 6 / / L A K E E R I E L I F E S T Y L E | 21
