TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What is the fit of this fleece jacket?
Our cut designed by experts combining technical features and femininity: fitted, but comfortable for hiking. It covers the lower back and includes a hood for more insulation. Choose your usual size for optimal adjustment.
How does the material provide insulation from the cold?
The purpose of the fleece component is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (qualified as 'brushed' when it consists of loops). this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.
How is warmth measured?
Our fleeces undergo 2 tests: a fabric test and another on a dummy in a thermal chamber simulating mountain conditions.
These tests validate design, confirmed by testers in real-life conditions. Guaranteed comfort between 10 and 13°C, choose your usual size.
What is a breathable fleece for?
Who's never sweated when hiking? It is inevitable during sustained effort. That's why we equipped our clothing with breathable side inserts that effectively wick away moisture. With this guarantee, enjoy hiking and stay comfortable.
How is breathability measured?
The breathability of a fabric is measured by its evaporative resistance RET (ISO 11092 standard): The lower it is, the more breathable the fabric. Examples: RET< 9 (very breathable), 9 < RET < 12 (breathable), RET > 20 (low breathability).
This fleece jacket has an RET index of 8.
A fleece that moves with you
We know that for comfortable hiking, it is important that garments do not restrict movements. We have added elastane to the fabric. This stretchy hooded fleece follows your every move for greater comfort.
A lightweight, practical fleece
No more dilemmas when you're packing your bag! This ultra-light fleece jacket weighs just 290 g in size M and takes up very little space thanks to its compressible component. You will also love its two zip pockets, perfect for securing your personal belongings.
Durability tested and approved
We test the durability of our fleeces by checking:
- Resistance to wear caused by a backpack and arm movements to prevent pilling;
- The durability of the seams;
- The fabric’s durability and colour after washing, and exposure to UV rays and perspiration.
How should you wash your fleece jacket?
Because you are not out of getting dirty when hiking, this fleece is easy to wash at 40°C. Just remember to fasten the zips and turn it inside out before putting it in the machine. Avoid exceeding the 1000 times/min, as well as tumble drying.
