Planet Earth, The Universe Polartec, a Milliken & Company brand and the premium creator of innovative and more sustainable textile solutions, partners with elite USA-made hunting outfitter Forloh to debut revolutionary Polartec Shed Less technology. The advanced fabric launches to market in Forloh’s new Raider Vest, setting a new standard for eco-conscious performance wear.
Shed Less technology reduces fiber fragment shedding in home laundering by up to 85 percent* without sacrificing the performance or softness that Polartec fleece is known for. The reduction in shedding means fewer microfibers ending up in oceans and waterways, reducing impact on the planet through the lifecycle of the garment. This breakthrough development is now featured on Polartec’s iconic recycled fleece fabrics, including Polartec 200 and Micro Series.
This collaboration brings together Polartec’s initiative to lead fabric innovation for a sustainable future and Forloh’s commitment to producing high-quality, American-made hunting gear. By incorporating Polartec Shed Less technology, Forloh continues to elevate the hunting experience by delivering garments that are not only durable and high-performing but also environmentally conscious.
Forloh’s Raider Vest, available now in both men’s and women’s styles, is the first to feature Polartec 200 Series with Shed Less technology. The versatile mid-layer garment offers an optimal balance of warmth retention and breathability, making it an essential addition to any outdoor enthusiast’s kit.
