Cut
The cut was created specifically by our team of designers to be both hi-tech and feminine: slim fitting without hugging the body, so that it looks feminine while letting you move freely when hiking. The length of the back covers the lower back to protect it from the cold and the hood also provides good thermal insulation.

HOW DOES THE MATERIAL INSULATE YOU FROM THE COLD?
The fleece component is designed to trap air in the space formed by its texture (qualified as brushed when it is made of pile fabric); this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.
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 IS DURABILITY TESTED?
We test the ageing of our hiking fleeces to guarantee their resistance over time. 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
