Men’s Warm Fleece Hiking Jacket - SH100

The inside of your fleece is brushed, a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: Inspired by fur and animals, the component's knit is capable of trapping air, naturally insulating. The cuffs stop the cold air getting in.

Perspiration is normal when hiking. This can quickly become unpleasant when moisture builds up under your clothes. To avoid this unwelcome feeling, we designed this fleece with a breathable fabric that easily wicks away perspiration.

The breathability of a fabric is measured by its evaporative resistance RET (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 jacket has an RET index of 15.1.

The durability of our products is verified through various tests. We check, for example, that our fleeces don’t pill, the colours don’t run and repeated washing doesn’t affect the properties of the fabric.A Martindale test measures the resistance of the fabric to abrasion.

With its light, stretchy component, your fleece offers great freedom of movement, essential when hiking on snow. Your personal belongings will be safe in the zipped pockets.

To take on the cold, follow the 3-layer principle:1) Technical, breathable base layer.2) Pullover or fleece for warmth and moisture transfer.3) Jacket for protection against bad weather.Make sure the outfit is breathable to wick away humidity.

Clean your fleece, turned inside out and done up, at 30°C on a synthetics cycle. Don't exceed a 1,000 rpm spin cycle. Avoid tumble drying to preserve the quality of the fabric.

We have improved this product with an eco-design approach.All fleeces (except black) are made from 97% recycled polyester guaranteeing effective product use.For the black model, we have opted for mass pigmentation integrating the colour pigments from the initial thread manufacture which reduces water consumption.
