Main Material

To maintain water repellency, we recommend regular reactivation.  
Reactivate water repellency after three washes (remember to rinse thoroughly) or after using a dozen times in the rain. 
You can easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm (8”), twice
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

Long-lasting performance 

The waterproofing of a fabric is measured in Schmerbers or mm of water (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric. 
This jacket is designed with a waterproof coating: this component resists 5,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5,000 mm column of water).

Component waterproofing

The fabric of this jacket is breathable: RET = 12.Component breathability is measured using thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
RET refers to a fabric’s capacity to let perspiration evaporate. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

Fabric breathability

This rain jacket has been designed for a two-hour hike at a pace of up to 5 km/h (3 mph), without elevation gain.
How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your physical activity.If the fabric is not breathable enough for your activity, perspiration will condense inside the jacket.This makes you feel damp.This dampness is not rain soaking through the shell, but condensation caused by perspiration.You need to choose a rain jacket according to your type of physical activity.

Choose your waterproof jacket according to the intensity of your activity. 

Wear the NH 500 Raincut Rain Pants to protect your lower body, too. Then you’ll have complete, effective protection against wind and rain.

Zipper Type

Fleece with large plush loops called "brushed fleece" can trap air. The natural insulating power keeps body heat in. The additional benefit of this fleece: its high collar keeps the neck warm.

Why does a fleece keep you warm?

We carry out 2 types of thermal testing:
On the fleece materials and with a thermal mannequin in a climate chamber. The comfort of this sweater is between 7 and 10°C.

How is warmth measured?

The fleece is equipped with a breathable component. It can effectively wick away perspiration while keeping you warm. This means you stay dry and comfortable even during intense exercise.

Why make a breathable fleece?

This fleece jacket has a fitted cut without being too tight. For optimal protection from the cold, we recommend wearing a technical base layer underneath. It is worn under our windproof and waterproof jackets. Choose your usual size. 

What is the fit of this fleece sweater?

We test the durability of our fleeces to guarantee:
- Resistance to abrasion from your backpack and arm movements to delay pilling
- The durability of the seams
- Durability after several washes
- Colourfastness (washing, UV, sweat)

Was this fleece’s resistance tested?

What sizes are available?

To machine wash your fleece without damaging it, choose a 40°C max. temperature. Turn inside out before washing. Don’t exceed a 1,000 rpm spin cycle to protect the fabric. Do not tumble dry.

Wool fibres can store a lot of air and let water vapour escape, making wool an excellent choice for moisture management and thermal regulation. Wool’s ability to store and release moisture make it an insulating, comfortable material for hiking socks.

The properties of wool

The merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, then carded, spun, and finally used for knitting or weaving.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight, and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.
