Technical information
What is the cut of this fleece?
This fleece jacket features a fitted cut without being too tight. For optimal protection against the cold, it's recommended to wear a technical baselayer underneath. It's designed to be worn under our windproof and waterproof jackets. Choose your usual size.

Why does fleece keep you warm?
The fleece component, with its brushed texture made of loops, traps air, a natural insulator. By creating an effective thermal barrier, this material offers continuous protection against the cold while ensuring comfort and softness. Ideal for staying warm in any situation.

The warmth level of this fleece
This fleece jacket has been designed and approved to be worn in cold weather between 7 C and 10 C without a jacket over it.

How is heat measured?
We conduct two types of thermal tests: on the fleece fabric and on the thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber.
These tests replicate the mountain conditions (wind, humidity, temperature) you might encounter. They allow us to validate our designs and adjust the thermal insulation.

What is breathability used for?
Raise your hand if you've never sweated while hiking. We know it's inevitable during exercise. That's why we've designed a breathable fabric that wicks moisture away from your body. This guarantees you dry and comfortable hikes.

Great freedom of movement
The secret to this fleece's ease of movement and comfort while hiking? We've added elastane to its composition. With its extra stretch, the fleece follows your every move, allowing you to hike freely without being restricted by your clothing.

Comfort details that hit the mark
We design products that are as technical as they are comfortable. You'll appreciate:
- its light weight for less bulk in your bag;
- its two zipped pockets to keep your belongings safe;
- its ultra-soft hood and high collar for an extra dose of warmth.

A tested and validated resistance
We ensure the resistance of our products through rigorous testing. We check the resistance:
- of the fabric to pilling;
- of the colors to washing;
- of the fabric to repeated washing;
- of the fabric to abrasion and rubbing with a Martindale test.

What sizes are available?
This fleece vest is available in sizes S to 2XL.

How to wash this fleece jacket?
Because some hikes get dirtier than others, this fleece can be machine washed at 40 C on a synthetic cycle. Just remember to turn it inside out and close the zippers. Limit the spin cycle to 1000 rpm. To preserve its quality, do not use the dryer.
