Materials:

• Main fabric entirely composed of xx100% MTR filament fleece polyesterxx, an advanced synthetic fiber selected for its excellent thermal properties, lightness, and superior durability.
• xxMTR (Maximum Thermal Retention) filament fleece is characterized by its exceptional ability to retain body heatxx, effectively keeping the user warm even when temperatures drop significantly.
• The continuous filament fibers used in its construction provide a remarkably soft texture to the touch and actively contribute to the fabric's resistance to pilling (fuzz balls), ensuring the garment maintains its aesthetic appearance and optimal functionality after multiple uses and washes.
• This polyester material is inherently lightweight, which reduces the overall weight of the jacket and makes it easy to transport, making it ideal for use as a mid-layer without adding excessive bulk to the ensemble.
• It offers good breathability, allowing for efficient evacuation of body moisture vapor; this helps keep the user's skin dry and comfortable, especially during physical activities.
• It features quick-drying properties, a significant advantage in humid conditions or after washing, allowing the garment to be ready for use again in a short period of time.
• The 100% polyester composition ensures easy maintenance of the garment, as it is a resistant, durable, and easy-care fabric, ideal for frequent outdoor use.
