Quechua Kids’ Warm Hiking Fleece Jacket – MH500 Aged 2-6

Our team of parents of young hikers designed this fleece jacket to protect your child from the cold during their everyday outdoor activities.Our fleece jacket is perfect for winter. It is soft, comfortable, and the warmest model in the range. Very practical for children to get on/off unaided, thanks to its full zip.

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.

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

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 = little or no breathability.

Component resistance test

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.
