Our team of parents of young hikers has eco-designed this fleece vest to protect kids from the cold during their outdoor activities

Why choose recycled polyester?

By recycling plastic bottles or 2nd-hand textiles to produce our polyester, we have reduced the utilization of petroleum-based resources while preserving the quality and performance of the material during your hikes.

Fleece component:Insulated with air

The mission of the fleece component is to trap air via 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 colorfastness test to check the behavior and resistance of the colors, and an aging test to check that repeated washing does not alter the properties of the fabric, its behavior, its thickness, or its appearance.

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 vapor generated by physical activity evaporates and the higher the fabric’s breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability.

Reduced environmental impact

Did you know that a plastic bottle takes 100 to 1000 years to biodegrade? We developed a fleece knit made of recycled polyester. It comes from recycled industrial scraps and plastic bottles (recycled polyester from 65% bottles and 35% recycled threads). By using recycled polyester, no new oil-based resources are used. The waste is recycled into resources that can be used again.

Determining the environmental impact of our products

A product’s environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifecycle using various indicators.
A score from A to E is produced to help you make a responsible choice.
This rating is used to easily identify the products with the best environmental performance.
This is done by making a comparison between products of the same family (e.g. backpacks).
Decathlon is a voluntary supporter of this environmentally-friendly labeling approach.

Product design: our expertise

Our Quechua global design center is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc.) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
A great asset for designing our hiking products and providing you with all our expertise.
