Millet TOURING SPEED X.C.S. HOODIE - Jacket - Men's - orion blue

TECHNOLOGY:

Airtastic™: Compact high performance nylon and polyester fabrics. They are suitable for a wide variety of sports and can be used to make lightweight, compact and stretchy clothing for all seasons.

DWR: Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coatings, which improve fabric resistance to water and stains, helps prolong the durability of technical garments.

For all collections since 2014, Millet uses new PFC-free solutions that are as efficient as current finishes but with a far lower impact on health and the environment.

DWR: This coating allows water to form beads and run off the shell fabric instead of being absorbed. The water-repellent outer fabric increases insulation and prevents it from being saturated by liquids, preventing any feeling of dampness.

Millet has completely eradicated long chain fluorocarbonate (C8) treatments and replaced them with shorter chain treatments, which have an undetectable level of PFOAs. 

Dual Tech™ Construction: The combination of two complementary materials for improved abrasion resistance, freedom of movement and moisture transfer according to the product's use.

COMPOSITION:

X.C.S. 100 (Extended Comfort Shell™ 100): Recognised for its abrasion resistance, XCS 100 is perfectly adapted for vertical disciplines. With a 4-way stretch, two-sided high density nylon structure and durable water repellent coating, it is comfortable, moisture-wicking, water-resistant and perfect for the mountain.

Composition: 88% polyamide, 12% elastane / Weight: 207 g/m²

Toray® Air Stretch Ripstop: The polyamide provides great resistance to abrasion and weather changes thanks to the DWR treatment.

Composition: 100% polyamide / Weight: 48 g/m²

Polartec® Alpha®: Polartec® Alpha® was originally developed for the U.S. Special Forces when they required a more advanced insulating material in their combat uniforms. This fabric is a new technology with active insulation that regulates core body temperatures during both dynamic and static activities. This latest advancement in adaptable breathability helps eliminate the need of shedding or adding layers of clothing. Among many remarkable technical features, fast drying, warmth even when wet, lightness and compressibility are the most notable.

Ripstop: This synthetic fabric, often made from nylon or polyester, uses a special reinforcing technique that makes it tear and abrasion-resistant. During the weaving process, reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals into the hatched pattern. These intervals are generally 5 to 8 millimetres. Ripstop fabric is thin and lightweight with thicker threads interwoven into thinner cloth for a 3-dimensional structure.

CERTIFICATION:

Low Impact™: Low Impact™ is based on 2 criteria that are essential to eco-design: the use of materials with a low environmental impact (at least 40% of the weight of the product is made from low impact materials such as Ecoya, Sorona®, tencel, hemp, RDS feathers), or certified materials (at least 80% of the product weight must be certified Bluesign®, Oeko-Tex®).

Oeko-Tex® Certification: The innovative fibres used are certified by Oeko-Tex®, an internationally recognised control body. This label certifies that the fibres do not contain chemical elements that are harmful to the skin and the individual.

Bluesign® Standard: Any fabric that is Bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimise the impact on people and the environment. A Bluesign® approved fabric ensures that: The fabric itself is free of harmful chemicals Unsafe emissions in water, ground and air are reduced The use of energy resources is controlled and reduced to a minimum The working conditions are healthy and safe

FIT:

Active Fit™: Fitted throughout the body, slightly tighter at the bottom, making it less bulky and more reliable during activity. This fit is often combined with stretchy materials for added comfort.
