Fleece material: insulated thanks to air
The fleece component is designed to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture; this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. The brushed knit fabric is what traps the air.
100% eco-designed microfleece
Over a year, the Forclaz 50 men's fleece provides:
22 million plastic bottles (1 litre) recycled
1367 tons less waste for the planet
43% water saved*
58% energy saved*
54% less CO2 emissions for the planet*
This is where all the added value of recycled polyester lies.
*Compared to old models made of non-recycled thread
2-year long-wear guarantee
We test the ageing of our hiking fleeces to ensure long wear. We guarantee:
- resistance to wear from backpacks and moving arms, to delay the appearance of pilling which is common with this material
- the solidity of the seams
- the resistance of the fleece material after 3 washes (size stability)
- colour fading after washing, when exposed to UV or after contact with perspiration.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
We carry out 2 types of thermal tests:
- either a test of our fleeces' material.
- or on a thermal dummy in a temperature chamber. We replicate the temperature, wind (5 km/h) and humidity conditions that you would experience in the mountains when walking at 5 km/h.
These tests are used to validate our design choices. And we adapt our thermal insulation where you most need it.
