What are the advantages of a two-sided fleece?
It's a garment with a double layer of fleeces joined together to provide extra warmth and comfort, but also to limit the chilling effects of the wind thanks to the film needed to join the two fleeces together.
It allows us to build a perfectly reversible garment.
Component water repellency:
The water-repellency of this fleece is achieved by a treatment applied to its outer face. This treatment allows water to slide over the surface of the textile, without absorbing it. As a result, the component does not become waterlogged and remains lightweight. This treatment must be repeated several times during the product's lifetime. Products for this purpose are available in our stores.
What is a product's breathability and the RET index that measures it?
The breathability of your fleece corresponds to its capacity to allow perspiration generated by the body to escape. It is measured by Evaporative Transfer Resistance (ISO 11092 standard). RET is a resistance index; the lower it is, the more breathable your fabric is. RET between 6 and 9: extremely breathable, between 10 and 13: very breathable, between 14 and 17: breathable, between 18 and 20: not very breathable, above 20: not breathable. Its RET is 8.7.
What is the clo index?
The clo is the scale used to measure the thermal resistance of your fleece. During the test, the component of your technical garment is exposed to a temperature close to that of the body and a controlled outside temperature. The clo index reflects the ability of your Reverse 500 fleece to retain body heat inside the garment. The higher the clo index, the better the technical component will retain the heat emitted by your body.
