Fortunately, for at least twenty years, flannel shirts and heavy wool sweaters are no longer the indispensable elements for the thermal layer of the hiker's clothing. Of course, these traditional garments had an undoubted charm and elegance, but also two major disadvantages: the weight, quite high compared to the thermal insulation capacity, and the tendency, once wet, to retain water, becoming still heavier and losing most of its insulating qualities. Their place in the backpack has been occupied by the now ubiquitous fleece garments, as the Italians call it, or fleece synthetic polyester fibers: the same PET with which ordinary plastic bottles are made. Fleece is a particularly "hairy" fiber and garments made with this material are soft and comfortable. In addition to these pleasant sensations, there are fundamental technical characteristics for outdoor use: the very thin "hairs" of the fleece constitute, in fact, a sort of "net" that traps the air, forming a heat-insulating pad around the body. Below we offer the technical data sheets of some of the most popular fleece garments made by leading companies in the sector.

Note:

Pontetorto, founded in 1952, had great success with the fleece, which in the mid-80s was a real revolution, but in the last 7-8 years it has focused its attention on the development of textile membranes, materials with very reduced thickness, obtained from polyurethane or acrylic polymers that applied to fabrics give them water-repellent, windproof and, at the same time, excellent breathability properties. This - this is the secret of the invention - thanks to a very small pore size, which has diameters of 1,000 nanometers (one thousandth of a millimeter), a measure that allows the steam produced by the transpiration of the skin to escape, but does not allow water to penetrate from the external to the skin
