Men’s mountain hiking fleece jacket, MH500 Light Full Zip - Black

This fleece jacket is available from size S to 3XL.

For a pleasant hike, it is essential to provide optimal freedom of movement. Our fleece is made with stretch fabric that follows your movements. This gives you maximum comfort during practice.

This fleece, both light and easy to compress, glides discreetly into your bag without taking up too much space. With its zip pockets, your personal belongings remain secure and easily accessible.

The mission of the fleece component is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (and the brushing of the knit). This air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. Tested in the laboratory, this fleece has a comfort temperature of 10 to 13°C without an additional jacket.

For maintaining your fleece, place it in the machine at 30°C on a synthetic cycle, inside out and with the pockets closed. Limit the spin cycle to 1,000rpm to avoid damaging it. Tumble dry is not recommended to preserve the fabric quality.

While hiking, it\'s nothing amazing, it\'s even almost inevitable. So, so that this fleece doesn\'t turn into a sweat, its microgrid component enables better perspiration wicking at the back.

The breathability of a fabric is measured by its evaporative resistance RET (ISO 11092 standard): the lower it is, the more breathable the fabric. Examples: RET< 9 (very breathable), 9 < RET < 12 (breathable), RET > 20 (low breathability). This fleece displays a factor of 4.

We test the durability of our fleeces by checking : - the backpack\'s resistance to abrasion and arm movements in order to delay pilling, which is a feature of this material ; - The durability of the seams; - Durability after several washes; - Preserving colours (washing, UV, sweat).

This fleece jacket has been subject to thermal tests on its fleece fabric and in a climate chamber with a mannequin. These tests imitate the mountain conditions to validate our design choices.
