Physical Training Uniforms are mandatory in most militaries, particularly in the U.S. military, for use during unit exercises and physical training (PT).
This MPTU JACKET is designed for training use and is made with POLARTEC POWER DRY.
This newly developed mid-layer material maintains a comfortable environment through a special double-knit construction using fibers of differing thicknesses.
The shoulder sections use 3XDRY by Swiss textile manufacturer Schoeller, offering water repellency, stain resistance, and superior moisture absorption and quick-drying performance for even greater comfort.
Using these high-performance fabrics, the zipper pull is equipped with the ITW NEXUS GT ZipLine ALPHA, and the piece is designed to handle active uses such as training.
Polartec Power Dry is a highly moisture-wicking and quick-drying material.
Its rapid moisture dispersal performance helps keep the body dry at all times.
It uses a patented double-knit construction with different yarns on each side, pulling moisture away from the skin and quickly evaporating it from the surface.
This innovative material developed for mid-layers delivers a radiator effect in all kinds of active situations to maintain comfort, and is also effective in preventing chill from perspiration during severe winter conditions.
3XDRY is a Schoeller innovation that combines two technologies in a single textile.
Both the face and reverse sides of the fabric are treated, giving the outer surface water- and dirt-repellent properties that resist water, mud, stains, and soiling.
The inside of the fabric quickly absorbs water vapor and sweat and evaporates it close to the body, creating a cooling effect that allows greater energy output during activity.
It offers excellent humidity control, keeping the body dry and comfortable for long periods. In addition, the garment dries quickly after washing, with drying time reduced to about one-fifth compared to untreated fibers.
