TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Fleece component: insulation thanks to air
The mission of the fleece component is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (and the brushing of the knit).
This air acts as an insulator, keeping your body warm.
This fleece has been approved for a comfort temperature of 13 to 16°C without an additional jacket.
HOW IS WARMTH MEASURED?
When you hike, you sweat is almost inevitable. However, you can avoid it, it's the feeling of dampness that goes with you. How is it possible? The component of this fleece is breathable. It is to say that it is able to wick perspiration away.
Why a breathable fleece gilet?
Designed in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc, in France, this fleece cardigan is then made by our suppliers in China and Vietnam.
We collaborate closely with these partners who have real expertise in the manufacture of our fleeces.
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.
Why so much freedom of movement?
For comfort when hiking, it's important you feel unrestricted in your movements. That’s why we added elastane to the component of this fleece. Result: walk unhindered, as this fleece gilet follows all your movements.
A gilet that’s both comfortable and practical
Practical to store in your backpack at just 240 g with its compressible component, this fleece gilet also lets you store your personal belongings safely, thanks to its two zipped hand pockets and chest pocket.
How to look after your fleece?
To wash your fleece without damaging it, select a 30° programme maximum and turn it back before machine washing. Adjust the spin to a maximum of 1000 rpm and avoid tumble drying to protect the fabric.
What sizes are available?
This fleece is available from S to 3 XL.
Proven resistance?
To guarantee their quality, our products undergo rigorous tests. We check their resistance to pilling, discolouration and repeated washing. The resistance to wear is measured using the Martindale test that subjects a sample of fabric to repeated friction. 2-year guarantee.
