What is the fit of this fleece?
It's slim-fitting, but doesn't sit too close to the body, so we recommend that you wear a technical base layer underneath this fleece jacket. That way, you’ll be better protected from the cold.
Choose your usual size.
How does the material provide insulation from the cold?
The fleece component is designed to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (known as “brushed fleece” when lots of tiny loops are knit into the fabric). This air keeps the body warm with its natural insulating properties.
This fleece’s level of warmth
This fleece jacket has been designed and tested to be worn in cold temperatures of between 7 and 10°C without another jacket on top.
How is heat measured?
We carry out two types of thermal testing: fleece material and thermal manikin in a thermal chamber.
These tests reproduce the mountain conditions (wind, humidity, temperature) that you may encounter. They allow us to check our designs and adjust the thermal insulation.
Why a breathable fleece?
It is inevitable that you will sweat when hiking, even in cold weather. To avoid feeling like you’re in a sauna, we have opted for a breathable fabric that wicks away perspiration. The full-length zip enables you to open the jacket for extra ventilation.
A practical, lightweight jacket
At 480g in size M, this jacket does not weigh your bag down! It is made from thin microfleece, and so it doesn't take up much space either.
You will also love its two zip pockets for keeping your personal belongings safe.
A durable fleece jacket
We make sure our products are durable through rigorous testing.
We check the resistance of:
- the fabric to pilling;
- the colours to washing;
- the fabric to repeated washing;
- the fabric to abrasion and rubbing with a Martindale test.
How to wash this fleece jacket
This fleece jacket can be machine washed at 30°C. Turn it inside out before putting it in the machine. Remember to close the zips. Choose a synthetic cycle and set the spin speed to a maximum of 1,000 rpm. Do not tumble dry.
