Kids’ Hiking Fleece - MH100 Aged 2-6 - Pink

Our team of parents of young hikers have designed this fleece to protect your child from the cold during their many outdoor activities. #### FLEECE COMPONENT: INSULATION THANKS TO AIR 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. #### Durability of the components We conduct numerous laboratory tests to validate the highest standards in terms of durability: a resistance test to abrasion and friction to ensure that the fleece does not pill, a colour fastness test to check the behaviour and resistance of the colours and an ageing test to check that repeated washing does not alter the properties of the fabric, its behaviour, its thickness or its appearance. #### COMPONENT BREATHABILITY To assess the breathability of the fabric, the evaporative resistance, RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard), is measured. The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity is evaporated, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability. #### Product design: our expertise Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.A great asset for designing our mountain walking products and providing you with all our expertise #### WHERE DO OUR FLEECES COME FROM?
