How can fleece fabric provide insulation?

The fleece material can trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (and the brushed knit), creating an insulating layer that keeps the body warm.

The fleece has been laboratory-tested for a comfort temperature of between 7 and 10°C without an additional jacket.

How is thermal comfort measured?

The thermal resistance test shows the loss of heat between the body and the outside, indicating the insulating properties of the product. It is carried out on fabric using probes or on clothing using thermal manikins in extreme conditions, therefore measuring the conservation of body heat.
