Quechua SH100 U-Warm, Warm Fleece Hiking Jacket, Women's

The inside of your fleece jacket is brushed – a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: the component weave is structured to add volume to trap air, naturally insulating. Exactly the same principle applies to the fur or feathers that keep animals warm. With a bit more, this jacket has sleeves at the bottom of the sleeve limiting the entry of cold air.

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

To ensure the durability of our products, we perform tests on the components. We check, for example, that the fleece does not pill, that the colors do not bleed, and that repeated washings do not alter the fabric's properties. The abrasion resistance of a fabric is measured by a test called the Martindale. This machine rubs a sample of the fabric on a reference surface with weights at its ends.

With its loose fit and lightweight component, your fleece favors freedom of movement, essential for hiking on snow. The zipped pockets secure everything that needs to be at hand (tissues, lip balm, gloves...). The warm hood makes your fleece jacket an ultra warm garment 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 carry out 2 types of thermal tests: - we test our fleeces' material. - a test on a thermal manikin in a temperature chamber. We reproduce the conditions of temperature, wind (3 mph) and humidity that you encounter on mountains when walking at 3 mph. These tests enable us to validate our design choices and thus adapt thermal insulation where you need it most.

Store in a dry place away from light. We recommend that you avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach, which can affect the thermal insulation of your clothes.
