The purpose of the fleece component is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (qualified as 'brushed' when it consists of loops); this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.
Durability warranty of 2 years
We test the ageing of our hiking fleeces to guarantee their durability. We guarantee: - resistance to abrasion caused by backpacks and moving arms, thereby delaying the emergence of pilling - the strength of the seams - the resistance of the fleece material after 5 washes (dimensional stability) - colour fastness after washing, when exposed to UV light or on contact with perspiration.
A score for comparing products' environmental impact
The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire life cycle using different indicators. An overall rating of ABCDE is provided to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with each other (T-shirts, trousers and backpacks) Decathlon is a voluntary actor in this environmental labelling process.

OUR COMMITMENTS
Our design team is based at the foot of Mont-Blanc, in Haute-Savoie (France). All year round, our designers create and develop products that are appealing, simple and technologically advanced. These are then ruthlessly tested in the field, as we remain convinced that only through rigorous testing under real world conditions, like the ones you will be using them in, can we continue to provide you with better products than ever.
Test ProductWe carry out 2 types of thermal tests: - we test our fleeces' material. - a test on a thermal manikin in a temperature chamber. We reproduce the same conditions of temperature, wind (5 km/h) and humidity found in the mountains on a 5 km/h walk. These tests allow us to validate our design choices, and we adapt the thermal insulation where you need it most.
