Quechua KIDS’ HIKING FLEECE – MH500 AGED 7-15

Our team, parents of young hikers, have designed this fleece to ensure your child stays warm while hiking or just outdoors generally.An essential item for being out walking, it is both warm and comfortable thanks to its sheepskin lining. The hiking fleece is also practical to get on/off, thanks to its built-in zip.

Fleece material: Insulation provided by 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.

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

RECYCLED POLYESTER: By using recycled polyester, no new oil-based resources are used. The waste is recycled into resources that can be used again.

WHY CHOOSE RECYCLED POLYESTER?

By recycling plastic bottles or second-hand textiles to produce our polyester, we have reduced the utilisation of oil-based resources while preserving the quality and performance of the material during your mountain hikes.

WHERE DO OUR FLEECES COME FROM?

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this fleece is then manufactured by our suppliers in Vietnam and Bangladesh.
We collaborate closely with these partners who have real expertise in the manufacture of our fleeces.
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.
