A fleece that is quite warm for winter?
The inside of your fleece is brushed, a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: Inspired by fur and animals, the component's knit is capable of trapping air, naturally insulating. The cuffs stop the cold air getting in.
Why a breathable fleece?
Perspiration is normal when hiking. This can quickly become unpleasant. It is the moisture that accumulates under clothes. To avoid this inconvenience, we designed this fleece with a breathable fabric that easily wicks away perspiration.
What is RET index?
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 a RET index of 15.1.
Soft, comfortable and durable fabric
The durability of our products is verified through various tests. We check, for example, that the fleeces do not pill, that colours do not run and that repeated washing does not affect the properties of the fabric.
A Martindale test measures the resistance of the fabric.
A practical and comfortable fleece
With its light and stretchy component, your fleece favours freedom of movement, essential when hiking on snow. Your personal belongings will be protected in the zipped pockets.
Dress properly for hiking on snow
To face the cold, follow the 3-layer principle:
1) Technical and breathable base layer.
2) Pullover or fleece for warmth and moisture transfer.
3) Jacket for protection against bad weather.
Make sure the outfit is breathable to evacuate humidity.
How you should care for this fleece
Clean your fleece, folded and closed, at 30°C on a synthetics cycle. Don't exceed a 1,000 rpm spin cycle. Avoid tumble drying to preserve the quality of the fabric.
