The Garneau Cove Hybrid Jacket and Rocket Skirt have won the annual Polartec® APEX Award, a design award celebrating the finest Polartec®-based products available to consumers every year. Winners are selected based on skill and creativity with Polartec® fabric technologies. This is the second time Garneau has won the Polartec® APEX Award. The first win was awarded to the Course Wind Pro® LS Jersey and Arm Warmers in 2014.
“This award speaks to the significance of product development at Garneau. We are proud to collaborate with such an innovative fabric technology partner as Polartec®,” says Katy Bond, Director of Apparel at Garneau. “We share a passion to design products that improve our enjoyment of the outdoor sports we love.”
The Garneau Cove Hybrid Jacket and Rocket Skirt are part of the Fall-Winter 2016-2017 collection available to consumers now. The Cove Hybrid Jacket is perfect for winter riding. It uses Polartec® Alpha® insulation panels combined with stretchable inserts. The result is a highly breathable, lightweight, warm layer that won’t cause overheating. The Rocket Skirt is a versatile piece and is perfect for pulling over tights for added warmth in cold conditions or after training. The Rocket Skirt also utilizes Polartec® Alpha® insulation providing optimal thermoregulation without restricting motion.
“We put a lot of effort into developing the world’s most advanced fabrics,” says Gary Smith, Polartec® CEO. “It is a real honor to celebrate the creativity and technical prowess applied by our partners in these 2016 APEX Award winners.”
