Forclaz Travel 100, 3-in-1 Hiking Jacket, Men's

With the "3-in-1" system, the jacket will be ideal for cold conditions (up to 30°F) and for hot weather trips when you can leave the inner layer at home, taking only the rain coat. You can also use the fleece on its own as a mid layer over a T-shirt. 3 options in 1 jacket!

When travel backpacking, what could be worse than losing your passport or getting your phone stolen? In order to prevent this so that you can enjoy your experience with total peace of mind, we have added a large discreet and compartmented secret pocket on the chest. You can keep all your belongings in one secure place. There is even a snap hook to attach your keys and not lose them.

We have added reflective tabs on the cuffs. WARNING, these parts are not standardized, they are not PPE (PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT) and therefore do not guarantee safety or protection. When you want, you can turn the tightening tab around the wrist as necessary to uncover the reflective zones.

We carry out laboratory tests on our fabrics, according to different criteria: Resistance to abrasion, to mimic the rubbing of backpack straps. We carry out a standardized Martindale rub test, during which the jacket's fabric is rubbed against another fabric. The aim is to control the wear limits of the fabric and when pilling begins. The jacket passes the test easily as it reaches 20,000 cycles on the Martindale, above the average for other jackets on the market.

The jacket has also been subjected to single rip tearing tests. The aim is to mimic in a laboratory the effect of your jacket snagging on something outdoors and being ripped. Through this test protocol, we check that once it is ripped, the fabric does not continue to tear and still protects you for years to come.

The jacket linings are DOPE DYED: this means that the dyeing process is done in bulk before the thread is spun. It reduces the environmental impact, particularly water consumption. The usual dyeing process uses a lot of water, and by using this technique we avoid overuse. In addition, the net inner fabric called “mesh” is made from recycled polyester to reduce the environmental impact.

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle and using different indicators. An overall ABCDE score is given to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products. For further information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/

Imported

We have tested this jacket in England, during a week-long backpacking hike. A group of independent testers walked in the shoes of our real backpacker users to test, improve, and approve the TRAVEL 100 3-in-1 jacket. It has therefore been designed and validated in the field in real backpacking conditions: walking, youth hostels, public transport, picnics. It has experienced everything and survived!
