An iconic ThruDark design, the unique fabric construction of this technical fleece makes it the ideal fleece mid-layer for mountaineering and other cold-weather expeditions.
The Phalanx is one of our most trusted and longest-serving designs. This highly versatile, hooded fleece is constructed from a Polartec® fleece fabric named “High Loft™”. It is one of the most comfortable mid-layers we have ever made and works best when worn under a hard shell or insulated jacket.
High Loft™ has the greatest warmth-to-weight ratio of all Polartec® fleece fabric technologies. The patented HighLoft construction that gives the fabric its name helps trap more body warmth with the use of longer fleece yarns than conventional insulation. The resulting experience is that of a softer feel and maximum comfort when worn under an outer shell. However, what really sets High Loft™ apart from everyday fleece fabric is its unique open mesh stitching which helps vent excess heat during exercise.
As for details, the Phalanx Fleece features elasticated cuffs and hems which keep the fleece taut against the wearer’s body. This helps trap heat and also makes for an unobtrusive feel when worn as part of a layering system. Thumb loops make it easier for you to pull the sleeves through your outer layer and provide that bit more insulation when you need it most. Underarm side panels made from another Polartec® fleece fabric, Power Grid™, provide added breathability at targeted areas and allow greater stretch for an improved range of movement.
FEATURES
POLARTEC - High Loft Technology
Polartec® High Loft™ takes fleece comfort and thermal warmth to greater heights. By creating a patented high loft fibre structure, this material is ultra soft and highly compressible. Extended polyester yarns create large air pockets to retain more thermal warmth, while keeping this insulation lightweight. High Loft™ has the greatest warmth to weight ratio of all Polartec® fleece fabric technologies.
POLARTEC - Power Grid
Polartec Power Grid™️ construction knit strengthens performance efficiency by increasing warmth and breathability, while also reducing fabric mass. These geometric patterns improve compressibility, moisture wicking, and add technical style. By reinventing thermal warmth possibilities, Power Grid™️ is a minimalist design that maximises fabric performance.
YKK - Zippers
All ThruDark garments feature market-leading YKK zips. Whether these be Aqua-seal waterproof zips or bespoke toggles on our expedition garments, our refusal to compromise on the details makes for a complete, premium garment that will stand the test of time.
