What is the cut of this fleece?
This fleece vest is slim-fitting without being too close to the body. For added protection against the cold, we recommend wearing a technical undergarment underneath. It fits perfectly under our windproof and waterproof jackets. Choose your usual size.
A fleece that insulates against the cold
The fleece component, characterized by a "scratch" texture formed by loops, is capable of retaining air, which is an excellent insulator. A thermal barrier is then created to offer constant protection against the cold, while ensuring comfort and softness.
The warmth level of this fleece
This fleece vest has been designed and validated to be worn in cold weather between 7°C and 10°C without a jacket over it.
How is heat measured?
We carry out 2 types of thermal tests: fleece material and thermal dummy in a thermal chamber.
These tests reproduce the mountain conditions (wind, humidity, temperature) that you may encounter. They enable us to validate our designs and adjust thermal insulation.
A breathable fleece, but why?
Sweating while hiking is perfectly normal. What you probably don't appreciate is the unpleasant sensation created by the accumulation of moisture under your clothes.
Our solution: breathable fabric that wicks away perspiration and leaves you dry even when you're exerting yourself.
A fleece as light as it is practical?
No more headaches when packing your bag. At just 270g in size M, this featherweight fleece vest won't weigh much in your bag. Made from fine microfleece, it will also take up very little space in your bag.
You'll also love its 2 zipped pockets for safely storing your personal belongings.
A hard-wearing fleece vest?
We ensure the durability of our products through rigorous testing. We check:
- fabric resistance to pilling;
- color resistance to washing;
- fabric resistance to repeated washing;
- fabric resistance to abrasion and rubbing with a Martindale test.
What sizes are available?
This fleece vest is available in sizes XS to 3 XL.
How do I wash this fleece vest?
Don't worry about getting dirty when hiking, this fleece vest is machine washable at 40° on a synthetic cycle. We recommend turning it inside out before washing, and closing the zips. Limit spin-drying to 1000 rpm and do not tumble-dry to avoid damage.
