TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Warm enough for winter hiking?
Just like animal fur or plumage, the brushed interior of this fleece traps air to keep the heat in. Cuffs at the ends of the sleeves also prevent cold air from getting inside to ensure thermal comfort outdoors.
Why is fleece so warm?
Fleece fabric with synthetic fibres to reproduce the performance of wool: warmth, thermal insulation yet still lightweight. It is soft, comfortable, dries quickly and lets the skin to breathe.
A soft but durable component
Our products undergo strict quality checks to validate their durability. They are tested for their resistance to pilling, discolouration and frequent washing. The Martindale test checks resistance to abrasion, exposing a sample of fabric to continuous rubbing.
A comfortable and practical fleece
The cut and stretch fabric of this fleece provide ideal ease of movement for hiking on snow.
With its zip pockets to keep your belongings safe and your hands warm, as well as its cosy hood, it’s ideal for facing the cold at high altitudes.
Dressing properly for snow hiking
To face winter, follow the 3-layer principle:
1) Technical and breathable base layer.
2) Sweater or fleece for warmth and moisture transfer.
3) Jacket for protection against bad weather.
Make sure it is all breathable to evacuate humidity.
How to look after your fleece?
To machine wash your fleece without damaging it, choose a 40° max programme. Turn it inside out and check that all pockets are closed. Don't exceed a 1000 rpm spin speed to protect the fabric. Do not tumble dry.
