TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
FLEECE COMPONENT: INSULATION THANKS TO THE 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 a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.
This component has been laboratory-tested for a comfort temperature from 7 to 10°C without any additional jacket.
2-year warranty
We test the ageing of our hiking fleeces to guarantee their resistance over time. We guarantee:
- resistance to wear from backpacks and moving arms to delay the appearance of pilling which is specific to this material
- the solidity of the seams
- the resistance of the fleece material after several washes
- colour-fastness after washing, when exposed to UV or in contact with perspiration.
WHERE DO OUR FLEECES COME FROM?
Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this fleece is then manufactured by our suppliers in Vietnam and Bangladesh.
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.

Ecodesign actions on this product
-
ProcessDope dyed
70% of the fabric color is made by dyeing the yarn at the source
Dyeing textiles requires lots of water but also leads to lots of water waste generated in dyeing vats. To reduce this environmental impact, we choose solution dyeing, which integrates colour pigments when manufacturing the thread.
-
MaterialRecycled polyester
Textile part made of 5% recycled polyester
We have incorporated recycled polyester into this product (instead of conventional polyester, which is itself derived from petrochemical plastic). What does this mean? In addition to being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact: using recycled polyester means recovering and transforming products destined to be thrown away, such as production offcuts or plastic bottles, instead of using new oil resources.
