I called wooster brush 1(800)392-7246 and talked to
customer service. 

THEY DO NOT make this Microfiber roller cover for BM.
Wooster has no plans to make one in the future either.

It is probably made overseas in China as another company called
GAM  (Great American Marketing) is just now bringing one
to the US to sell.  It was supposed to be available in April but
was not. 

I do not know of any other manufacturer that is selling that
material for roller covers.  I have not used it so can't offer an opinion
as to how the quality is.


Isn't the new Wooster Polar Bear Roller a microfiber? If not, when would one use a Polar Bear?

The Wooster Polar Bear is a fabric cover... I love em for flats... holds and lays on a lot of paint without a heavy stipple.... I have not tried it with sheened paints....

Those polar bear covers are exceptional for metallics.

The new microfiber holds a ton of paint without a heavy stipple and doesn't leave any other ridges or roller marks from the edge of the roller.  I think you would like it.

I'll have to test one of those on a MW flush door with ultra smooth skin.
