Quechua MH120, Eco-Designed Hiking Fleece, Men's

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’s the brushing of the knit fabric that traps the air. This component has been tested in the laboratory for a comfort temperature ranging from 45 to 50°F without an additional jacket.

We test the aging of our hiking fleeces to guarantee their durability. We guarantee: - resistance to wear from backpacks and moving arms to delay the appearance of piling, which is specific to this material - the solidity of seams - the resistance of the fleece material after 3 washes (size stability) - color-fastness after washing, when exposed to UV, or in contact with perspiration.

Here at Decathlon, we know that our production and distribution activities have a big impact on the environment, so we have a responsibility to act. Nothing is perfect, but the use of recycled polyester to make the material of this fleece means we can avoid using new petroleum-based resources. Waste is transformed into resources that can be used again. We are working in parallel on other levers to further reduce our impact.

The environmental impact of the product is calculated based on its entire lifecycle and using different indicators. A general score from A to E is provided to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc). Decathlon is committed to displaying this environmental information. For more info: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/

We carry out 2 types of thermal testing: - either a test of the material of our fleeces. - or on a thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber. Here, we reproduce the temperature, wind (3 mph), and humidity conditions you encounter in the mountains during a 3 mph walk. These tests allow us to validate our design choices. So we can adapt our thermal insulation where you most need it.
