Description

Design details

Cut
Jehanne, our stylist, and Paloma, our model maker, have carefully designed the lines of this fleece for a sporty, feminine style. Paloma tells us: "I wanted to enhance the feminine curves with a relatively slim and comfortable fit, and a cut that emphasises the waist." To be well protected from the cold, it has a longline cut at the lower back. Your hand can also be protected from the cold by a covering thumb loop. Choose your usual size.
WARMTH IN THE RIGHT PLACE
We have chosen to combine 2 technical materials: - a “microgrid” material on the chest, back, collar and thumb loop that provides effective protection from the cold like a conventional fleece, but with greater breathability thanks to its high-tech knit fabric; - a smooth material that contains elastane, for total freedom of movement with your poles, while ensuring optimal breathability of the arms
HOW IS WARMTH MEASURED?
2 types of tests are carried out to measure the warmth level of our fleeces: - a material test - a test on a thermal dummy in a thermal chamber. Here, we reproduce the temperature, wind (5 km/h) and humidity conditions you encounter in the mountains during a 5 km/h walk These tests are used to validate our design choices, and everything is then validated by field testers. This fleece has a comfort temperature between 10 and 13°C (without a jacket on top)
HOW IS BREATHABILITY MEASURED?
The breathability of a material is its capacity to wick away the water vapour generated by perspiration. During intense effort, it is, therefore, essential to wear very breathable clothing so you do not stay wet. Breathability is measured by RET, the fabric’s evaporative resistance. The lower the number, the more breathable the fabric: RET ≤ 3: extremely breathable fabric RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric etc.
HOW DO YOU TEST RESISTANCE?
We test the ageing of our hiking fleeces to guarantee their durability. We guarantee: - resistance to wear from backpacks and moving arms to delay the appearance of pilling - the solidity of seams - the durability of the fleece material after washing - colour-fastness after washing, against UV rays or in contact with perspiration.
