Kids' Warm Fleece Sailing Jacket Sailing 100 Navy blue

The advantage of the fleece

The aim of the fleece component is to trap the air thanks to the volume created by its texture; this air keeps the body warm through its natural insulating potential. It is the brushed quality of the knitted fabric that allows air to be trapped. This fabric provides comfort and warmth.

This fabric has been laboratory tested for a comfort temperature ranging from 7°C to 10°C. The wind can make you feel colder, so don’t hesitate to add a waterproof wind-proof jacket if needed.

The collar to keep you warm

The neckline reaches the top of the neck to conserve body heat. The neck has a close-fit to prevent the wind from rushing in.

Which size to choose?

The fit has been designed to be sufficiently loose-fitting to avoid impeding your movements and manoeuvres.

You can therefore wear the fleece in your usual size over a t-shirt or polo shirt or underneath your jacket.

What is a fabric’s breathability and the RET index that measures it?

The breathability of your fleece corresponds to its ability to let perspiration generated by the body escape. It is measured by its Resistance to Evaporative Transfer (ISO 11092 standard). The RET is a resistance index; the lower the value, the greater the breathability of the fabric. RET between 6 and 9: extremely breathable, between 10 and 13: very breathable, between 14 and 17: breathable, between 18 and 20: not very breathable, over 20: not breathable. Fleece RET 100 < 12
