Product heat
A product's ability to protect against the cold. This depends on the component's thermal resistance and air permeability. The higher the thermal resistance, the more the product retains the heat generated by the body while cycling. Underwear can be worn next to the skin under a jacket or long-sleeved jersey.
Maintenance tips
Machine wash at 30°. Synthetic program. Turn product inside out. Use little washing powder. Do not use fabric softener. Hang to dry in a warm, ventilated place. Do not tumble dry. No dry-cleaning. Do not use chlorine. Do not place on a radiator.
Product tests
Our team of product designers, based at BTWIN VILLAGE in LILLE, is constantly on the lookout for ways to improve our customers' cycling comfort. Our obsession is to develop products that meet usage needs and take the strain off the user.
We then test them in the field, because we're convinced that only by putting them into real-life situations, as you'll experience them on your bike, can we make constant progress.
A score to compare the environmental impact of products
The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire life cycle, using various indicators. An ABCDE score is produced to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks).
Decathlon is a voluntary participant in this environmental labelling initiative.
