Cabela’s E.C.W.C.S Thermal Zone® Polartec® Power Dry® Crew Top

New Thermal Zone baselayers by Cabela’s use Polartec® Power Dry® High Efficiency fabrics to create a complete body temperature regulating system with antimicrobial treatment that allows the outdoorsman more versatility depending on the variety of weather conditions and situations faced in the field. Body thermography was studied in order to determine the critical areas that maintain core temperatures. Combining three weights of strategically-placed fabric, Thermal Zone provides maximum breathability, warmth and comfort where you need it most. Heavier weight Polartec® Power Dry® is used in the core and maximum exposed areas, mid weight is used in less critical areas, and lightweight Polartec® Power Dry® fabric is used in high-output areas prone to excessive perspiration, as well as the cuff areas to minimize bunching. Cabela’s Thermal Zone baselayers include crew and 1/4 zip tops, and bottoms.
MSRP: $79.99 – $89.99 (Huge muscles in photo sold separately)

After six grueling stages of brutal heat and sandstorms, the ultramarathon Trangoworld Corre team won the famous self-supported endurance test known as Marathon des Sables 2010. With them for the long haul was the Polartec Power Dry T-Shirt, that helped keep them (relatively) cool and dry. The team, made up of Jorge Aubeso, Fernando Cantón, Rodrigo Iturralde, and Gabriel Santamaría, ran 250 kilometers, carrying their own food and gear all while at the mercy of the high temperatures and harsh conditions.

The four Spaniards were pitted against the feared Moroccan and Jordanian teams, who had the advantage of being familiar with the harsh landscape. Even so, Trangoworld Corre came in first place by over three hours.

The experience was nothing short of heroic for Jorge Aubeso, who had to give up the third spot on the podium when he fell back to join his teammates in the final stage on the way to the finish line, thus ensuring that the team could place first. Aubeso declared, “Everyone on the team is thrilled to have won for Trangoworld. They put their faith in us, and supported us completely.”

Both the Trangoworld Corre team and Polartec Power Dry performed to the maximum in this desert race, where extreme conditions made the breathability and light weight of Power Dry invaluable.

Staying dry is the key to comfort year-round and base layers are the most critical layering choice in the winter. If your current clothing system isn’t keeping you warm enough, upgrading the fabrics next to your skin can be the most cost effective way to be warmer – this is especially true for start and stop activities where you sweat and then chill.
