Our team of parents of young hikers have designed this fleece gilet to protect your kid from the cold during their outdoor activities

How does a fleece insulate from the cold?

The fleece material has been designed to capture air because of its textured structure, particularly because of the brushed fabric. This air acts as an insulator, maintaining bodily heat and keeping you warm.

Why a breathable fleece?

Children, always on the go, need clothing suited to their endless energy! Our sweater uses breathable fabric that wicks away perspiration. Your little adventurers remain comfortably dry, even when they set off for the great outdoors.

What is the RET index?

The breathability of a fabric is measured by its RET evaporative resistance (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 sweater has a rating of 6.3.

What sizes are available?

This fleece sweater is available in ages 2 to 6 years.

How should you care for your fleece sweater?

To look after your fleece, wash it on a synthetic cycle at 30°C. Turn it inside out and fasten the zip before putting it into the machine. For the spin cycle, do not exceed 1000 rpm max to take care of the fabric. The final tip: do not tumble dry to avoid damaging it.

Is this fleece durable?

Lab tests ensure optimal durability of our fleeces. We therefore test:- resistance to rubbing and pilling;- colour fastness;- that repeated washing should not affect the fabric's properties, behaviour, thickness, or appearance.
