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

The inside of your fleece is brushed – a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: the knit is structured to add volume to trap air, naturally insulating. It is exactly the same principle as animal fur or feathers. A small extra, this jacket has cuffs at the wrists to stop cold air from entering.

Fleece fabric with synthetic fibers to reproduce the performance of wool: warmth, thermal insulation yet still lightweight. It is soft and comfortable, dries quickly, and lets the skin breathe.

To ensure the durability of our products, we perform tests on components. For example, we check that the fleeces do not pill, that colors do not run, and that repeated washing does not affect the properties of the fabric. The resistance of a fabric to abrasion is measured using a test known as the Martindale test. This machine rubs a fabric sample on a reference surface with weight at its end.

With their wide fit and lightweight component, your fleece encourages freedom of movement, essential when walking in the snow. The zipped pockets secure everything that needs to be at hand (tissues, lip balm, gloves, keys...). The warm hood means your fleece jacket is an ideal ultra-warm garment 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 2nd layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outward. layer 3: The jacket protects from outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind. The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.

We carry out 2 types of thermal testing: - a test of the material of our fleeces. - a test on a thermal 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 validate our design choices, and we then adapt the thermal insulation where you need it most.

Store in a dry, dark place. We advise you to avoid using chemicals such as bleach, which could cause deterioration in the garment’s thermal insulation.
