Summit FUTUREFLEECE Crew Shirt - Men's

FUTUREFLEECE is a proprietary fabric developed by The North Face, made from a blend of polyester and recycled polyester. It is designed to be lightweight while providing excellent warmth and moisture control. This means you can stay warm without feeling weighed down, making it perfect for outdoor activities like hiking or camping.

Underarm gussets are triangular or diamond-shaped pieces of fabric sewn into the underarm area of clothing. They allow for greater freedom of movement, preventing the fabric from pulling or restricting your arms during activities. This design feature is especially beneficial for athletic or outdoor apparel, ensuring you can move comfortably while staying active.

Thumbholes are openings in the sleeves of certain tops that allow your thumb to pass through, keeping the sleeves in place. This feature provides extra coverage and warmth, especially in cold weather, and prevents the sleeves from riding up when layered under jackets. If you’re active outdoors, thumbholes can enhance your comfort and keep you warm.

Moisture control refers to a fabric's ability to wick away sweat and moisture from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable. This is crucial during physical activities, as it helps regulate your body temperature and prevents you from feeling cold or clammy. Look for gear with moisture control features to enhance your performance and comfort.

The weight to warmth ratio indicates how warm a piece of clothing is relative to its weight. A high ratio means the garment provides significant warmth without being heavy, making it ideal for layering in cold weather. This is particularly important for outdoor activities where you need to stay warm without sacrificing mobility or comfort.

FUTUREFLEECE is designed to be lighter and more environmentally friendly than traditional fleece materials. It offers superior warmth and moisture control while being made from recycled polyester. This advanced fabric technology allows for better performance in outdoor conditions, making it a great choice for those who want to stay warm and comfortable without the bulk of traditional fleece.
