Series 200

This 100% polyester fleece fabric is double veloured which prevents pilling on both the face and back of the fabric. It is manufactured with the highest quality polyester yarns available on planet earth and is the softest, smoothest and most durable fleece made. The Series 200 is a mid-weight fleece suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It is an ideal inner layer because of its high loft which traps air for maximum insulation. As an outer layer this same breathability can prevent overheating in cool weather environments but can be a liability in high-wind situations.

All Series 200 fleece is engineered to wick moisture away from the body to keep you dry which is the most important element to keeping you warm. In fact, Series 200 fleece has a remarkable ability to maintain its insulating properties even when sopping wet, and simultaneously an uncanny ability to seem instantly dry when exiting the washing machine or after being wrung out trailside after a surprise rain storm.

Series 200 fleece is available in Solid, Heathered and Overdye styles

Solid: The standard bearer, solid colored Series 200 is solid toned with a matt finish.

Heathered: Created by weaving a rayon yarn into the polyester, Dakini Heathered Series 200 garments have little white rayon hairs dispersed evenly across the fabric that creates a look not unlike boiled wool.

Overdye: Polartec Series 200 overdye is unique in its manufacturing process. Unlike our regular Series 200 fabrics the Overdye is woven on special machines that create a uneven absorbtion of the dye. The result is a deep toned fabric face with a lighter toned color coordinated contrast on the interior. The fabric is then sheared to a exceptionally smooth nonpilling finsh that maintains the technical features of the Series 200 with a jewel toned appearance that is unlike any other fabric anywhere.

Berber Tweed

Berber Pile fabrics are among the very warmest single layer fabrics in our line. Berber is a fabric technology steeped in history. Developed through a process called "sliver" (rhymes with diver) knitting Berber fabrics, have been perfected over decades and have grown from heavy grade carpet weaving technology to an amazingly supple and durable, fully machine washable fabric that shares the technical advantages long associated with fleece fabrics. The sliver knitting process creates a super high loft exterior with a soft knit backing that moves moisture away from the skin. Furthermore, Berber fabrics are more wind resistant than a similar weight fleece creating garments suitable for colder indoor and outer layer outdoor applications

Dakini Berber Tweeds are unique in their use of three different colored yarns interwoven to create each unique color. The Tweed palette appears to be solid colors from a distance but is obvious as a tasteful melange when closer observed. All Dakini Berbers are woven from the finest Micro Supreme yarns for the softest and most supple texture and drape.

Powerstretch

Polartec® Power Stretch® fabrics offer body-hugging four- way stretch with moisture management. There are two unique surfaces: the durable, non-pilling outer surface resists abrasion, while next-to-skin the soft velour pile wicks perspiration, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. Designed to be the first or only layer, Power Stretch fabrics are ideal for indoor or outdoor sports that require maximum freedom of movement and moisture management.

French Stretch

A beautifully thick cotton lycra fabric with a textured back that feels fantastic against the skin. All French Stretch garments are pre-shrunk and machine washable.

Tencel Twill

Made from 100% natural fibers this beautiful Tencel twill has an incredibly smooth touch and a mechanical stretch that maximizes comfort and versatility.

Wool-Silk Sweatering

Custom formulated by Dakini to maximize the warmth and versatility of wool and the legendary luxury of silk, the yarns of these sweaters are truly luxurious to the touch.

Double Wool

A unique blend of wool polyester and cotton give this fabric the density and warmth of an outer layer. The cotton yarns poplulate the inside of the fabric making it soft to the skin and non itchy. Additionally, the rich coloring of the fabric exterior contrasts with the darker yarns of the interior creating a stunning contrast on exposed seams.

Dakini Windblock

Custom Made for Dakini by a top Italian mill this windblock is the fusion of a micro denier fleece interior and a lightly sheared micro denier exterior. In between these supple layers is a thin water shedding sheath that prevents water from getting in (except at the seams where the garment is only water resistant) yet allows perspiration vapor to escape. The result is a wind proof breathable layer ideal as a cold weather outer or inner layer.

2 x 2 Rib

Our 2 x 2 rib is 100% cotton garment dyed so it is all preshrunk. The fabric has an obvious rib that is not too big but more robust and slightly heavier weight.

A unique mixture of polyester and rayon give this excellent fabric a frosted look unlike anything we've ever seen. This fabric is lighter weight than series 200 fleece but still performs well when wet and drys quickly.

Rayon Stripe

Supple to touch with a luxurious drape this cotton rayon blend has a subtle stripe pattern. Garment dyed and preshrunk this fabric is fully machine washable.

Series 300 Shearling

Thick warm and wind resistant. Series 300 Shearling is a long standing Polartec® favorite. It has a sumptuously thick and lumpy exterior reminiscent of wool with a smooth finished interior. This is among the thickest and warmest fleece available anywhere.

Buffalo

This advanced synthetic leather-shearling fabric appears to be the real McCoy, even upon close inspection. Milled by fabric masters in Italy, this fabric offers all the beauty of real animal hide without the moral dilemma and with the wash and wearability synthetics are famous for. Substantial in weight and durability and very, very warm.

As soft and supple as Chamois this Polartec® Micro Denier is the finest micro fibre fleece fabric available anywhere. Dense enough to provide reasonable wind protection yet breathable enough as a mid layering fabric as well. Soft enough to wear anytime.

Wave Knit

This custom Dakini fabric is a blend of polyester, rayon and lycra to create a irresistably smooth and supple body fitting fabric.

Ripple Knit

This custom Dakini fabric is a blend of polyester, rayon and lycra to create a irresistably smooth and supple body fitting fabric.

windpro

Polartec® Wind Pro® fabrics are extremely breathable yet provide 4x more wind resistance than traditional fleece.  This is the new "super fleece" which spans an incredibly wide range of conditions; performs as both outerwear and insulation; and offers exceptional durability.  This is a versatile fabric which can be worm all year long for a variety of activities. Outer surface sheds rain and snow while maintaining 85% breathability of traditional fleece.

themal pro

Polartec® Thermal Pro® sweatering offers outstanding insulating properties combined with a unitque surface knit that has the look of a traditional wool sweater. The 100% polyester veloured interior surfaces create air pockets that trap air and retain body heat, providing outstanding warmth without weight. These fabrics offer excellent breathability and dry quickly while looking great.

Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are the next generation of technical outwear - the soft shell.  This clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems, which feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell, to a single layer that protects against all but the worst weather conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to enhance your outdoor experience.

 

How does it work?

Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics feature a smooth, tightly woven nylon face for abrasion resistance equal or superior to the best shells, but without the stiffness and noise.  A polyester velour back that traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio.

Patent-pending Air Control Technology® (ACT) enables the fabric to block 98% of the wind. The remaining 2% is allowed to circulate within the fabric, which greatly enhances moisture vapor transmission, 2 times faster than other waterproof breathable shells, and improves breathability, reducing the risk of heat stress buildup.

All Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are finished with a durable water repellent (DWR)to shed rain and snow. Powershield® also features spandex and mechanical stretch for freedom of movement.

Garments made from Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are designed to replace traditional fleece and shell systems for most outdoor clothing applications, reducing the weight and number of layers needed to insulate and protect. They are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, winter climbing, back-country trekking or navigating an urban landscape. It's outerwear that gets worn, not carried.
