Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about Polarex, shipping, returns, and product maintenance.

General

At Polarex, we don’t develop products just because they look good. Every product starts with the same question: what problem are we solving? Only when a design truly helps people stay warm, dry, and comfortable do we bring it to market. That is how we combine functionality, comfort, and design into products that are not just beautiful, but also perform when it matters most.

Before a product becomes part of the Polarex collection, it goes through an extensive development and testing process. This is done not only by our own team but also by our field testers, who use the products in real winter conditions. Only once a product meets our requirements for warmth, comfort, durability, and functionality do we release it.

Every product is developed to solve a specific winter challenge. For example, our heated gloves are tested down to -25 °C, our neck warmers feature an extra-long fit and thick fleece lining for maximum protection, our hats are equipped with a soft fleece lining and a waterproof inner layer, and our heated winter jackets look like premium winter coats at first glance, while the hidden heating system provides extra warmth the moment conditions demand it.

That is what Polarex stands for. Not standard winter products that you find everywhere, but thoughtfully developed products that truly make a difference. Everything with one goal: to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable so you can enjoy the winter worry-free.
Yes. Our products are developed to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable during both everyday winter days and extreme winter conditions. Whether you are cycling through the city, taking a winter walk, or hitting the slopes, our products are designed to perform reliably when the temperature drops.

Functionality is always our top priority. That is why all our products are extensively developed, tested, and refined before they become part of the Polarex collection. This allows you to trust that our products will keep you warm, dry, and comfortable, even when the temperature drops significantly.

Maintenance & Care

Always follow the care label on the inside of the product. This contains the specific washing instructions for your Polarex product.

Close all zippers and Velcro fasteners before washing and preferably use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener, as this can affect the technical properties of the materials.

Do you have a heated Polarex product? Always remove the batteries before washing the product.
We recommend air-drying Polarex clothing. High temperatures in a tumble dryer can damage technical materials, coatings, and other functional properties of the product.

Always check the wash label of the specific product for certainty. This will indicate which drying method is appropriate.
To maintain the water-repellent properties for as long as possible, it is important to wash your Polarex clothing correctly. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener, as this can impair the water-repellent effect.

If you notice over time that water no longer beads off the outer fabric as well as it used to, you can re-treat the water-repellent layer with an impregnating agent suitable for technical outdoor clothing.

Always follow the care instructions on the product's care label.
Always remove the batteries before washing and securely close the connectors and any zippers. Then, follow the washing instructions on the specific product's care label.

Always allow heated products to air dry completely before reconnecting the batteries. Do not use a tumble dryer and ensure the connectors are completely dry before using the product again.
Ensure your Polarex clothing is completely clean and dry before storing it for an extended period. Store the clothing in a dry, well-ventilated area and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

Do you have a heated product? If so, remove the batteries before storing the product for an extended period and store them separately in a dry place.
