I know I shouldn't be surprised by this kind of thing anymore, but really- I think we all know the benefits of synthetic fabrics. Give it a rest-

Polartec Power Stretch fabric stretches four-ways, is wind resistant, dries quickly, wicks moisture, and allows heat to escape without compromising insulation

Now, check me if I'm wrong... but the bolded claim appears to be completely contradictory to me. What the hell?

I agree not the most well-written, but I think they meant that its breathable.

If you stretch your Polartec Power Stretch fabric into six additional shirts and forward them on, Bill Gates will send you a check for $246. If you do not, you will have bad luck for ten years and carpenter ants will ruin your deck.

Wake me when they have 5-way stretch Polartec. Then I'll get excited.

How long until we get in the boot stretch polar tech pants? ;) Wait, they'd need to bring back the rear entry boots to compliment them first! :lol: ;)
