Air to insulate from the cold

The fleece component is designed to capture air thanks to its unique texture and scratching. It provides exceptional insulation to keep your body warm. Tested in the laboratory, this fleece guarantees optimal comfort between 7 and 10°C, without an additional jacket.

How is warmth measured?

This fleece has been subject to thermal tests on its fleece fabric and in a climate chamber with a mannequin. These tests imitate the mountain conditions to validate our design choices.

A breathable fleece: what are the benefits?

Our fleece jacket, made with breathable fabric, keeps you comfortable even during intense activities. Thanks to its ability to wick away moisture from perspiration, it keeps you dry and comfortable throughout your adventures.

What is the RET index?

The breathability of a fabric is measured by its RET evaporative resistance (ISO 11092 standard): The lower it is, the more breathable the fabric. Examples: RET< 9 (very breathable), 9 < RET < 12 (breathable), RET > 20 (low breathability).
This fleece has a RET index of 3.

Why elastane?

To ensure optimal comfort on your hikes, it is essential to benefit from complete freedom of movement. This is why we have added elastane to the composition of this fleece. Enjoy unrivalled freedom of movement to walk with peace of mind.

A lightweight, practical fleece

This ultra-practical jacket has two zip pockets and one zipped chest pocket. This allows you to store your belongings safely. It is also ultra lightweight. Ideal for forgetting it’s even there in your bag.

Resistance tested?

Our products undergo rigorous testing to guarantee their quality. We test their resistance to pilling, discolouration and repeated washing. Abrasion resistance is measured using the Martindale test, which subjects a fabric sample to repeated rubbing.

Wash with zip closed.
