Choose your usual size.

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 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?

By making polyester from plastic bottles, we have reduced the use of new oil-based resources while preserving the quality and performance of the material.

Why choose polyester?

Wear on our hiking fleeces is tested to guarantee durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to wear from backpacks and arm movements to delay the appearance of pilling
- seam strength
- resistance to washing 
- colourfastness after washing and exposure to UV light and perspiration

How is durability tested?

This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiasts. 
It’s the perfect place to design quality hiking products by applying our full expertise.
