Men’s Hiking Fleece Jacket Ultra-Warm SH100

The inside of your fleece is brushed, a process known to preserve heat. The principle is simple: the component weave is structured to add volume to trap air, naturally insulating. It is exactly the same principle as animal fur or feathers. A little extra - this jacket is equipped with cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves limiting the entry of cold air.

The fleece fabric, made of synthetic fibers, aims to reproduce the performance of wool: warmth and thermal insulation, while being lighter. It’s soft, comfortable, dries quickly and lets the skin breathe.

To check the durability of our products, we carry out tests on the components. We check, for example, that the fleece doesn’t pill, the colors don’t run, and that repeated washing doesn’t change the properties of the fabric. The abrasion-resistance of a fabric is measured by a test called the Martindale test. This machine rubs a sample of the fabric on a reference surface with a weight at its end.

With its loose fit and lightweight component, your fleece provides freedom of movement, essential for hiking on snow. The zipped pockets keep everything that needs to be at hand safe (tissues, lip salve, gloves, keys...). The warm hood makes your fleece jacket an ultra-warm garment that’s ideal for hiking in very cold weather.

To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle: layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry. layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outward. layer 3: The jacket protects you from outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind. The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.

We perform 2 types of thermal tests: - a test of the material of our fleeces. - a thermal mannequin test in a thermal chamber. Here, we reproduce the conditions of temperature, wind (3 mph) and humidity that you will encounter in the mountains when walking at 3 mph. These tests are used to validate our design choices and adapt the thermal insulation where you need it most.

Store in a dry place away from the light. We recommend you avoid chemicals, such as bleach, which could damage the thermal insulation of your clothing.
