lightweightOnly 290 g in size M- CutThe 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. Choose your usual size.
- 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 test of the material - a test on a thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber. We reproduce the temperature, wind (5 km/h) and humidity conditions that you typically encounter in the mountains while on a 5 km/hr walk These tests allow us to validate our design choices, and everything is validated by testers in the field This fleece jacket has a comfort temperature between 10°C and 13°C (without a jacket over it)
- 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 DURABILITY?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 resistance of the fleece material after washing - colour-fastness after washing, against UV rays or in contact with perspiration
- Product design: our expertiseOur Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts. A great asset for designing quality products for your mountain hikes, and providing you with all our expertise.
