WHY IS THIS PRODUCT SO HOT?
The inside of your fleece is brushed, a process known to conserve heat. The principle is simple: the component's mesh is structured to create volume and trap air, a natural insulator. It's exactly the same principle as that of fur or animal feathers.
The two layers of fleece make for a thick, warm product, while still allowing ease of movement.
WHAT IS THE POLAR COMPONENT AND WHY IS IT SO HOT?
Polar fleece, made from synthetic fibers, aims to reproduce the performance of wool: warmth, thermal insulation, while being lighter. It's soft, comfortable, quick-drying and breathable.
ISN'T SUCH A SOFT, PLEASANT COMPONENT FRAGILE?
To ensure the durability of our products, we carry out component tests. We check, for example, that fleeces don't pilling, that colors don't fade, and that repeated washing doesn't alter the fabric's properties.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR SAILING?
To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend applying the 3-layer principle:
layer 1: technical undergarments allow moisture transfer to keep the skin dry.
layer 2: the second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and moisture transfer.
layer 3: the jacket protects against external conditions: rain and wind.
The whole garment must be breathable to evacuate moisture.

WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PRODUCTS, AND HOW CAN I COMPARE IT?
The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire life cycle, using various indicators. An ABCDE rating is produced to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with each other. Decathlon is a voluntary participant in this approach. All our sustainable initiatives at http://developpement-durable.decathlon.com/
