Kids’ Hiking and Skiing Fleece Jacket 2-6 Years MH150

The fleece component is designed to trap air in the space formed by its texture; this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. It is the brushing of the knit fabric that traps the air.

Did you know that a plastic bottle takes 100 to 1000 years to biodegrade? We developed a fleece knit made of recycled polyester. It comes from recycled industrial scraps and plastic bottles (recycled polyester from 65% bottles and 35% recycled threads). Using recycled polyester means we can avoid using new oil-based resources. Waste is transformed into new, usable resources.

We conduct numerous laboratory tests to validate the highest standards in terms of durability: a resistance test to abrasion and friction to ensure that the fleece does not pill, a colorfastness test to check the behavior and resistance of the colors and an aging test to check that repeated washing does not alter the properties of the fabric, its behavior, its thickness or its appearance

Decathlon is the first French company to implement environmental ratings. These ratings has been developed with the ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency) as well as other French companies. The ratings are used to assess the environmental impact of product thanks to a scale from A to E with A being the best rating. http://sustainability.decathlon.com

We carry out 2 types of thermal testing: - either a test of the material of our fleeces. - or on a dummy in a thermal chamber. We reproduce the temperature, wind (3 mph) and humidity conditions that you would encounter in the mountains walking at 3 mph. These tests are used to validate our design choices. So we can adapt our thermal insulation to where you most need it.
