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.

(from Finetrack® testing data)

After 0.6ml of water was applied, the residual moisture weight was measured over time, with the time it took to drop below 10% as benchmark. Finetrack®'s Mid Layer series drops to 10% moisture content significantly faster than other Mid Layers with comparable warmth retention. In the wearer, this contributes to a dry feeling that lasts longer while reducing the chill that comes from moisture accumulation.

Finetrack® researchers devised a method of artificially creating a resting state from a state of perspiration immediately after exercise, and measured humidity over time between a heating plate that mimics skin and the Mid Layer fabric. The initial humidity in the garment was adjusted to 53%, and the humidity regulation was graphed to reflect the transition from sweaty exertion to a resting state.Results demonstrated that the POLYGON 2UL Mid Layer rapidly declined from a high-humidity state to the initial in-clothing humidity baseline, approximately 30 minutes faster than a typical down jacket.
