POLAR COMPONENT: AIR INSULATION
The purpose of the fleece component is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (and the scraping of the mesh).
This air keeps the body warm thanks to its insulating power.
This component has been laboratory-tested for a comfort temperature of 7 to 10°C without an additional jacket.
2-YEAR WARRANTY
We age-test our hiking fleeces to guarantee their resistance over time. We guarantee:
- resistance to abrasion from backpacks and moving arms, to delay the onset of pilling typical of this material
- the strength of the seams
- the resistance of the fleece material after several washes
- the colorfastness after washing, in the face of UV rays or contact with perspiration.
WHERE DO OUR FLEECES COME FROM?
Created in our international design center at the foot of Mont Blanc, in France, this fleece is then made by our suppliers in Vietnam and Bangladesh.
These are partners who possess real know-how in the manufacture of our fleeces, and with whom we work closely.
This relationship of trust with our industrial partners enables us to create high-quality technical products.
PRODUCT DESIGN: OUR EXPERTISE
Our global design center Quechua is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers...) and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It's a great opportunity to design quality products for your mountain outings, and to bring you all our expertise.
