I hope you'll change your mind. The guy who owns Polartec is a Saint,
second only to Mother Theresa. Maybe it's a tie.

If every capitalist were like him, this would be a far better world.

Do you know about him?

Yvonne Chouinard (of Patagonia equipment) was instrumental in the
development of polar fleece. I have some first-generation Synchilla as
well as some early PolarTech fleece. Its amazing how long it lasts.
