Quechua Kids' Hiking Softshell Jacket MH900 TW - 7-15 YEARS

With this windproof, water-repellent softshell jacket, there are no limits for the little ones. Finally, the ideal softshell jacket for young hikers: soft on the inside, yet windproof and water-repellent. Children can be active outdoors while staying protected from the elements.

The polyurethane membrane is sandwiched between the outer material and the inner lining of the softshell jacket. It is windproof and prevents the body from cooling down. Additionally, the membrane is breathable: evaporative heat is released through the micropores to the outside, reducing moisture condensation on the inside—keeping the child warm and dry! To prevent the body from cooling down, it is important to protect against wind both during activity and while resting.

The perceived temperature in wind and cold is determined by the "wind chill" model: at a temperature of 5 °C and a wind speed of 30 km/h, the perceived temperature is 0 °C. At 0 °C and a wind speed of 30 km/h, it feels like -6 °C. This product is made from windproof material.

The water-repellent property is achieved through a special surface treatment that causes water to bead off without being absorbed. This keeps the garment lightweight, breathable, and warm. However, it is not waterproof! This treatment should be renewed occasionally. It is best to use impregnation sprays and avoid adding any impregnation agents to the wash that could impair the product's breathability.

Our global Quechua development center is located in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie. This place has become a true meeting point for our teams (composed of designers, product managers, engineers) and outdoor athletes. A significant advantage for developing products for mountain hiking and implementing our expertise.
