Quechua Kids’ Hiking Softshell Trousers MH550 7-15 Years

Our design team, made up of parents of young hikers, developed these MH550 Softshell trousers for hiking in all weathers and for all types of outdoor activityThese trousers will withstand all your kid’s adventures whatever the weather. As well as being lightweight, they are water-repellent, windproof & the material is highly resistant to abrasion & tearing

COMPONENT DURABILITY

Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we check that our fleeces do not pill using tests conducted in laboratories. Colour retention test: the colour fastness is verified to ensure that the colours do not bleed when coming into contact with saliva. Ageing test: repeated washing should not affect the fabric’s properties, behaviour, thickness or appearance.

WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES

A quality achieved by applying a hydrophobic, water repellent treatment to a fabric. This process prevents water from sticking to the fabric’s surface, thus limiting the latter’s ability to absorb water. When movement is added to the equation, water runs off the fabric. This is what is meant by water repellent. Thanks to its water repellent properties, water does not soak into the outer fabric. The trousers remain light and dry more quickly.

Windproof

Wind protection is very important because of the significant chill effect that wind can have on the body, whether you are active or at rest. According to the “windchill” model, which measures how the air temperature feels when factoring in the wind & cold: At a temperature of 5°C combined with winds of 30km/h, the temperature felt will be 0°C. If the air temperature is 0°C & wind speed is 30km/h, the temperature felt will be -6°C. The materials used help to counter the chilling effects of the wind

WHERE DO OUR TROUSERS COME FROM?

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, these pants are then manufactured and assembled by our suppliers in Vietnam.
These are partners that have genuine expertise in making our tents and with whom we are in close collaboration.
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.

Working conditions in our production workshops

We guarantee that our suppliers comply with our code of conduct. These suppliers are often located in developing countries where our presence helps to create jobs.
