Main Material

This fleece has a fitted, comfortable cut. Wearing a technical base layer is recommended for better protection against the cold. This fleece was designed to be worn under our windproof and waterproof jackets, such as the MH 100 Hiking Jacket.

Choose your usual size. 

The brushed fleece component is designed to trap air, providing natural heat retention. 

How does the material insulate you from the cold?

We make our polyester from plastic bottles, reducing the use of oil-based resources while preserving the material’s quality and performance.

Why choose recycled polyester?

Two types of tests measure warmth:
- a material test 
- a test on a thermal dummy in a thermal chamber We reproduce the temperature, wind (5 km/h), and humidity conditions encountered in the mountains during a 5 km/h hike.
These tests help us validate our design choices before field testing. 
This fleece has a comfort temperature between 7°C and 10°C (without a jacket over top).

How is warmth measured?

Wear on our hiking fleeces is tested to guarantee durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to wear from backpacks and arm movements to delay pilling, specific to this material
- the strength of seams
- resistance of the fleece material after three washes (size stability)
- the material retains its colour after washing and exposure to UV and perspiration

The brushed pile texture of the fleece traps warm air, providing natural heat retention. 

Two types of tests measure warmth:
- a material test 
- a test on a thermal dummy in a thermal chamber We reproduce the temperature, wind (5 km/h), and humidity conditions encountered in the mountains during a 5 km/h hike.
These tests help us validate our design choices before field testing. 
This fleece has an optimal comfort temperature of between 10°C and 13°C (without a coat over top).

The breathability of a material is its capacity to wick away the moisture generated by perspiration. During intense effort, it’s essential to wear very breathable clothing so you don’t stay wet.
Breathability is measured with a rating of the fabric’s evaporative resistance, or RET. The lower the number, the more breathable the fabric:
RET ≤ 3: extremely breathable fabric
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
etc.

How is breathability measured?

Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products.  
While this product is not currently eco-designed, we are working every day to make it more responsible: eco-design, repairability, and sustainability are at the heart of our actions.

Eco-design

Designed for regular hikes in cold weather. The body-mapping technology offers warmth and breathability.

Season

The texture of the fleece component is designed to trap air. this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. The brushed knit fabric traps the air.

Fleece component: air trapped by the fabric provides insulation.

The wind causes the perceived temperature to decrease considerably.
With 20 km/h winds (12 mph), 0°C feels like -10°C.
Windproof components fight the discomfort associated with this freezing effect.They effectively reduce heat loss by creating a barrier against the wind.

Thermal comfort and windproofing

Fitted style: Fitted cut and elastane in the fabric for great comfort.
Select your usual size or one size larger if you prefer a looser fit.

Sizing information

Abrasion and friction resistance test: lab tests confirm that fleeces do not pill, for example. Colourfastness test: we check colourfastness to ensure colours don’t bleed. Aging test: repeated washing must not alter the fabric’s original properties, including its shape, thickness, and appearance.

Component test

Whatever your cold-weather activity, use the 3-layer principle:
Layer 1: The high-tech base layer wicks moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.
Layer 3: The jacket protects from the outdoor conditions (rain, snow, and wind). 
To eliminate moisture, the whole outfit must be breathable.

The feminine cut of this jacket suits different body types. You can wear a warm layer underneath, such as a fleece jacket or light sweater. The interior lining also improves comfort. 
You can choose your usual size or one size up if you want a looser fit.

Detach the hood using snaps. Adjust the height using an elastic cord and adjust the depth with the hook and loop tab at the back.

This jacket is made with 2 coated layers, including a large mesh lining. 
That means the jacket has an outer fabric and a lining. 
A coating similar to resin is applied to the inside of the fabric, making the material waterproof yet breathable. The jacket’s inner lining protects this coating.

Jacket composition

Waterproofing is measured by a fabric’s resistance to water pressure expressed in mm of water column. The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. 
The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. 
The component of this product has a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm: it can withstand the pressure exerted by a 5,000-mm column of water. 
This is also equivalent to 5,000 Schmerbers.

Waterproofness test

Component breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
This allows perspiration to escape during physical activity and prevents it from accumulating on the skin. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 

RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little breathability
 
Our product has a 12 RET rating.

Breathability test

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. This keeps the fabric from soaking up water so it stays lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface; however, this property may deteriorate with use.

How to restore water repellency

Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie, France. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiast. It’s the perfect spot for designing our mountain hiking products.

Product design: our expertise

This jacket was designed in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc, in France, and then manufactured and assembled by our suppliers in Morocco, Vietnam, and Bangladesh.
These are partners that have genuine expertise in making our jackets and with whom we collaborate closely.

This down jacket keeps you warm during your cool weather hikes. Effective to -5°C for intense activity and 5°C for light activity.

Condition

Air Temperature

Pack

Worn as a third layer, this padded jacket has been certified for an active comfort temperature of -5°C during a standardized test in a thermal chamber. The model is wearing a synthetic, long-sleeved T-shirt and a light fleece underneath. Effective in simulated 5 km/h wind. 
We also tested this product in static mode: the comfort temperature is 5°C in this case.

How warm is this padded jacket?

The fill power of down has 3 advantages for mountain hiking:

- Thermal insulation, because of the air trapped in the down and feathers.
Ultra-lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic fill and provides the same warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack.
- Ultra-compressible.

The advantages of duck down and feather filling

Fill power is a measure of the down’s thermal insulation capacity and potential to trap air. It is expressed in cuin (cubic inches).
Down with higher fill power will take up more space, trap more air, and provide greater thermal insulation.With an 85% down and 15% feather filling, this jacket has a guaranteed fill power of 800 cuin or more (international standard).

Inflating power of down/feather filling

A fabric’s water repellency is its ability to make water run off its surface without being absorbed.
This prevents the fabric from absorbing water and keeps it lightweight and warm. The fabric in this down jacket is water-repellent, although we recommend you wear a waterproof jacket over top in the rain. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface, but the treatment can deteriorate with use. 
We recommend restoring it after each wash.

Water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)

This washable down jacket can be worn all winter. But the less you wash it, the longer its thermal insulation and water repellency will last.
  
In short: 
1. Machine wash at 30°C with detergent specially formulated for down or technical garments. Gentle spin cycle.

2. Tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls and repeat 2 or 3 times until it is completely dry.

How to care for down jackets

Once you have cleaned your padded jacket, we recommend using a water-repellent reactivator spray to preserve the hydrophobic properties of the outer fabric. This renews the fabric’s water-repellent properties and optimizes its performance throughout its life cycle.

How do I reactivate the waterproofing properties?

Snags are common when hiking in a padded jacket. Simply mend it or apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger and letting the synthetic fibres escape. 
Not sure about repairing it yourself? Don’t worry! Our in-store workshops offer a repair service to mend your padded jacket with an iron-on patch.
