Quechua Boys’ Fleece Hiking Sweatshirt Aged 7-15

We have teamed up with parents to design this fleece sweater for young hikers who are looking to combine warmth, comfort and style.An essential for hiking as well as everyday life.
Warm and comfortable thanks to its sheepskin lining, this sweatshirt is practical to get on/off with its zip.

Fleece material: Insulation provided by 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.

Durability of the components

Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we check that the fleeces do not pill using tests conducted in laboratories. Colour retention test: the colour fastness is verified to ensure that the colours do not bleed when coming into contact with saliva. Ageing test: repeated washing should not affect the fabric’s properties, behaviour, thickness or appearance.
