最近几天逛Polartec网站时发现Warmth系列商品介绍那边， 最下方多了一个Polartec Alpha。 http://polartec.com/warmth/polartec-alpha/ 只写着要到2013年才会Outdoor市场。 查询了News发现有一篇相关介绍: http://www.polartec.com/in-the-loop/polartec_introduces_polartec_alpha.aspx Unlike down and existing synthetic insulation batting, Polartec Alpha is a highly stable layer allowing for the use of more open and breathable fabrics on the outer and inner layers of “puffy” style garments. 刚开始看到这段就吸引到眼睛目光就亮了起来。 As a result, Polartec Alpha provides active warmth that allows air exchange for breathability and comfort in more dynamic situations. Classic puffy garments require “down-proof” or high-density woven layers that create a vapor barrier. Although they work well in static conditions, these classic puffy garments trap moisture inside the garment during even minimal activity. 强调Alpha比传统的羽绒服/高密度编织内层的Puffy服装， 在高动态活动情况时更透气/更舒适。 Polartec Alpha was developed to meet the performance requirements of the U. S. Special Operations Forces (SOF). SOF required something that was warm, wind resistant, highly durable, quick drying and more breathable than any existing insulation products. 当初设计是专门为了美国SOF特种部队设计的。 (温暖/抗风/高耐用度/快乾/比任何现存的填充产品更透气) 原文下面还有说经过SOF成员的测试而产生的。 Alpha is now rolling out to the consumer market and will be introduced at the January 2013 Outdoor Retailer, SIA and ISPO trade shows and available at retail by September 2013. 要到2013年1月对户外装备零售商/SIA/ISPO展介绍，同年九月可在零售据点买到。 Brands adopting Polartec Alpha for the initial launch include: 66º North, Eddie Bauer, Eider, Mammut, Marmot, Montane, Mountain Equipment, Rab, Ternua, Terry Cycle, The North Face, Trangoworld, Vaude and Westcomb. 目前已知会推出采用这类产品的品牌包含: 66ºNorth/Eddie Bauer, Eider/长毛象/土拨鼠/Montane/Mountain Equipment/Rab, Ternua,Terry Cycle,TNF,Trangoworld,Vaude/Westcomb(注:这家也是最早用Neoshell)。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 看起来像是拿来户外活动时很适合拿来当中层保暖用的新材质。 不晓得单位重量保暖值是否能比Primaloft One还好? (若比Pl one还高的话，相信也会有厂商制成外套Jacket/Parka类的产品) Primaloft因为仿造了羽绒的结构而得以有高保暖性能的人造化纤， Polartec Alpha的构造不知是否也是用相同原理? 明年的户外服装市场会很热闹，除了Polartec Alpha之外， 还有改成直接透气版本的eVent DVL(Direct Venting Lite) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7254/7667700462_1deb2740cf_c.jpg 以及采用了双层ePTFE贴膜构造而成的新板Gore-Tex Pro。 http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8220/8255520873_35e30d0541.jpg --
