A fleece that’s warm enough for winter?

The inside of your fleece is brushed, a great way of retaining heat. The principle is simple: inspired by animal fur and plumage, the component's knit can trap air, which is naturally insulating. In addition, the cuffs stop cold air getting in.

A practical, comfortable fleece

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.

A soft, comfortable, durable fabric

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.

Dressing properly for hiking on snow

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.

How you should care for this fleece

Machine wash your fleece, turned inside out and closed up, at 30°C on a synthetics cycle. Don't exceed a 1000 rpm spin speed. Avoid tumble drying to preserve the quality of the fabric.

What is a RET index?

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 a RET index of 15.1.

Why a breathable fleece?

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.
