Quechua MH120 Women’s Fleece Hiking Vest – Best Deal for Outdoor Adventures

You’ll love its soft material made of recycled thread and its insulating power. The ideal fleece gilet to protect you from the cold during your mountain walks. To be added to every backpack!

At the foot of Mont Blanc, our team of hikers has eco-designed this low-cost warm, breathable fleece gilet for occasional hikers.

CUT

This fleece gilet has a slim fit, without being too tight fitting. We recommend you wear a technical undergarment underneath, in direct contact with the skin, to be better protected from the cold. It has also been designed to be worn just below our windproof/waterproof jackets like the women’s MH100.
Choose your usual size.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ECO-DESIGN

Here at Decathlon, we know that our production and distribution activities have a big impact on the environment, so we have a responsibility to act. Nothing is perfect, but the use of recycled polyester to make the material of this fleece means we can avoid using new petroleum-based resources. Waste is transformed into resources that can be used again. We’re working in parallel on other levers to further reduce our impact.

HOW DOES THE MATERIAL INSULATE YOU FROM THE COLD?

The purpose of the fleece component is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (qualified as ‘brushed’ when it consists of loops); this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.

HOW IS WARMTH MEASURED?

2 types of tests are carried out to measure the warmth level of our fleeces:
– a fabric test
– a test on a thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber. Here, we reproduce the temperature, wind (3 mph) and humidity conditions you encounter in the mountains during a 3 mph walk
These tests allow us to validate our design choices, and everything is then validated by field testers.
This gilet has a comfort temperature between 45 and 50°F (without a jacket on top)

HOW IS DURABILITY TESTED?

We test the aging of our hiking fleeces to guarantee their durability. We guarantee:
– its resistance to abrasion from a backpack and arm movements to delay pilling
– the strength of the seams
– the durability of the fleece material after washing
– color-fastness after washing, under UV light or in contact with perspiration.
