This year's Polartec Apex Awards event focused on the importance of versatility and functionality to today's consumers.
The Polartec Apex Design Award recognizes the best products made with Polartec fabric technology. Polartec cooperates with the world's leading apparel brands to create high-performance fabric technology rooted in sustainable science for all conditions. The winning products were selected from hundreds of entries based on the skilled and creative use of fabrics.
The theme of this year's awards event is "Mountain to Bar and Back Again". Products that reflect this theme center on the importance of versatility and functionality to today's consumers-clothes that outdoor enthusiasts want to wear in the mountains in the harshest weather in nature and when running errands in the city.
Every year, these awards will continue to recognize the best in apparel design and fabric innovation, and this year is no exception. Each award-winning product combines style and performance to create clothing that can cope with the harshest environments.
