Main Material

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?

The brushed fleece component is designed to trap air.
The air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.

Fleece material: Insulates with air

We use repeated lab tests to verify the highest durability standards: an abrasion- and friction-resistance test to ensure that the fleece does not pill, a colourfastness test to check that colours do not bleed, and an aging test to ensure that repeated washing does not alter the properties of the fabric or its behaviour, thickness, or appearance.

Component durability

To assess the breathability of the fabric or the evaporative resistance, we measure RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more perspiration evaporates, and the more breathable the fabric. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric. 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric. 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric. RET > 20 = little or no breathability.

Component breathability

Did you know that a plastic bottle takes 100 to 1,000 years to biodegrade? We developed a fleece knit made of recycled polyester. It comes from recycled industrial scraps and plastic bottles (recycled polyester from 65% bottles and 35% recycled threads).

By using recycled polyester, no new oil-based resources are used. The waste is transformed into resources that can be reused.

Reduced environmental impact

An ABCDE rating shows the environmental impact of a product. 
Put forward by ADEME, it takes into account production, transportation, usage, and waste generated at the end of a product’s life.

The brushed fleece component is designed to trap air; this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. 

How does the material insulate you from the cold?

Two types of tests measure warmth:
- a material test 
- tests using a thermal mannequin 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?

We make our polyester from plastic bottles, reducing the use of oil-based resources while preserving the material’s quality and performance.The white model is made from 100% recycled polyester and the grey model from 25% recycled polyester.

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water and produces wastewater from the dye baths. We use a bulk dyeing process that involves adding the colour pigments when manufacturing the thread to reduce the environmental impact. This dyeing process is used for our white and black models.

Our commitment to reduce water consumption

The aging of our hiking fleeces is tested to guarantee durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to wear from backpacks and moving arms to delay the appearance of pilling
- seam strength
- resistance to washing 
- colourfastness after washing and exposure to UV light and perspiration.
