At the foot of Mont Blanc, our team of hikers designed this warm, breathable and affordable fleece gilet for occasional hiking.
What is the fit of this fleece jacket?
This fleece gilet is fitted without being too close to the body. For better protection from the cold, we recommend wearing a technical base layer underneath. It fits perfectly under our windproof and waterproof jackets. Select your usual size.
A fleece jacket that insulates you from the cold
The fleece fabric, which has a “brushed” loop texture, is capable of holding air which is an excellent insulator. A thermal barrier is created to provide continual protection against the cold, while ensuring comfort and softness.
This fleece’s level of warmth
This fleece gilet has been designed and approved to be worn in cold weather between 7°C and 10°C without a jacket on top.
HOW IS WARMTH MEASURED?
We carry out 2 types of thermal testing: fleece material and thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber.
These tests reproduce the mountain conditions (wind, humidity, temperature) that you might encounter. They allow us to validate our design and adjust the thermal insulation.
A breathable fleece, but why?
Perspiration is perfectly normal when hiking. What you probably like less is the unpleasant feeling created by the accumulation of moisture under the clothes.
Our solution: a breathable fabric that wicks away perspiration and keeps you dry even when exercising.
Just as light as a fleece?
No more dilemmas when packing your bag. Weighing just 270 g in size M, this featherweight fleece gilet won't weigh down your bag. In fine microfleece, it takes up little space.
You will also love its 2 zip pockets to store your personal belongings safely.
A durable fleece gilet?
We guarantee the durability of our products thanks to rigorous tests. We check the resistance:
- of the fabric to piling;
- of the colours to washing;
- of the fabric to repeated washing;
- of the fabric to abrasion and friction with a Martindale test.
What sizes are available?
This fleece gilet is available from XS to 3 XL.
How should this fleece gilet be washed?
Don’t be afraid to get dirty while hiking, this fleece gilet is machine-washable at 40°C on a synthetic cycle. We just recommend that you turn it inside out before washing it and close the zip. Limit the spin cycle to 1,000 rpms and do not tumble dry.
Take any hike or countryside walk in style and stay warm. You’ll love this fleece gilet. Its soft, breathable fabric makes it an essential addition to your backpack.
