TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What is the fit of this fleece jacket?
This fleece jacket is fitted without being too tight. For optimal protection from the cold, we recommend wearing a technical base layer underneath. This jacket is designed to be worn under our and windproof and waterproof jackets. Choose your usual size.
Why does fleece fabric keep you warm?
The fleece material, with its brushed, plush texture, traps air, and provides natural insulation. By creating an effective thermal barrier, this material offers continuous protection against the cold while guaranteeing comfort and softness. Ideal for staying warm in any situation.
This fleece’s level of warmth
This fleece jacket has been designed and tested to be worn in cold temperatures of between 7 and 10°C without another jacket on top.
HOW IS WARMTH MEASURED?
We carry out 2 types of thermal testing: fleece material and thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber.
These tests reproduce the mountain conditions (wind, humidity, temperature) that you might encounter. They allow us to validate our design and adjust the thermal insulation.
What is the purpose of breathability?
If you’ve never sweated while hiking, raise your hand. We know it’s inevitable to sweat when you’re exerting yourself. That's why we've designed a breathable fabric that wicks moisture away from the body. So you can be sure that you’ll be dry and comfortable during your hikes.
Great freedom of movement
The secret to this fleece's ability to give you freedom of movement and comfort while hiking? We added elastane to this jacket. With more stretch, the fleece follows your every move and lets you hike freely without being restricted by your clothes.
Comfort details that hit the spot
We design products that are both technical and comfortable. You will therefore love:
- its lightweight design to save space in your bag;
- its two zipped pockets for storing your belongings safely;
- its ultra-soft hood and high collar for an extra dose of warmth.
Durability tested and approved
We guarantee the durability of our products using rigorous tests. We check the resistance:
- of the fabric to piling;
- of the colours to washing;
- of the fabric to repeated washing;
- of the fabric to abrasion and friction with a Martindale test.
What sizes are available?
This fleece gilet is available in a range of sizes, from S to 2 XL.
How to wash this fleece jacket
Because some hikes are dirtier than others, this fleece jacket can be machine-washed at 40° on a synthetic cycle. Just turn it inside out and close the zips. Spin at 1,000 rpm. Do not tumble dry to preserve its quality.
