FLEECE COMPONENT: INSULATION THANKS TO THE AIR
The fleece component is designed to trap air in the space formed by its texture; this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. It is the brushing of the knit fabric that traps the air.
DOPE-DYEING
Bulk dyeing or “dope dyeing” incorporates the pigments during the thread manufacture. This technique reduces the environmental impact compared to standard dyeing which takes place once the thread forms a fabric. This requires more water consumption and pollution.
Our black MH100 fleece models use this dyeing process and we are in the process of duplicating it for the other colours.
GUARANTEED LIFE SPAN OF 2 YEARS
We test the ageing of our fleece hiking tights to guarantee their durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to wear to delay the appearance of pilling which is specific to this material
- the solidity of the seams
- the durability of the fleece material after several washes
- colour-fastness after washing, against UV rays or in contact with perspiration.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
Our Decathlon Sportslab laboratory, based in Lille, also contributes to the innovation and development of our Quechua products.
It brings together 4 themes, each with their own area and technological tools:
Morphology (particularly thanks to 3D analysis)
Science of movement
Thermal comfort (with its four environmental chambers)
Behavioural and sensory sciences. Our fleeces are all tested on thermal mannequins using a standardised test.
Warranty
2 Years

To meet your requirements, Quechua products are tested in the mountains in conditions you will encounter during your hikes.
Our teams, as well as a tester panel (made up of partners, ambassadors and customers), test products throughout their development until they go to market.
