Why is a fleece warm?
Polar fleece, with its voluminous curls called "brushed fleece", is capable of trapping air. The latter, thanks to its natural insulating power, retains body heat. This fleece's additional asset is its high collar, which preserves neck warmth.
How is heat measured?
We carry out 2 types of thermal tests: on fleece materials and with a thermal dummy in a climatic chamber. These tests simulate the mountain conditions you may encounter, and help us to validate our designs. This jacket is comfortable between 7 and 10°C.
Why a breathable fleece?
The fleece is equipped with a breathable component. This is capable of efficiently wicking away perspiration while maintaining warmth. So you stay dry and comfortable, even during intense exertion.
What is the cut of this fleece?
This fleece jacket offers a snug fit without being too tight. For optimum protection against the cold, we recommend wearing a technical undergarment underneath. Perfect to wear under our windproof and waterproof jackets. Choose your usual size.
A proven level of resistance?
We test the durability of our fleeces to guarantee:
- resistance to abrasion from backpacks and moving arms, to delay the onset of pilling;
- seam strength;
- resistance after several washes;
- colorfastness (washing, UV, perspiration).
What sizes are available?
This fleece is available in sizes XS to 3 XL.
How to care for fleece
To machine-wash your fleece without damaging it, choose a program at 40° max. Turn it inside out before placing it in the machine. To protect the fabric, do not spin faster than 1000 rpm. Do not use a tumble dryer.
