COMPONENT DURABILITY
Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we check that our fleeces do not pill using tests conducted in laboratories. Colour retention test: the colour fastness is verified to ensure that the colours do not bleed when coming into contact with saliva. Ageing test: repeated washing should not affect the fabric's properties, behaviour, thickness or appearance.
Quick drying
Drying time measures a fabric's capacity for drying quickly after being wet, according to a standardised protocol.
ECO-DYE
Dyeing a product, and the water used for this process, has a important environmental impact.
Water-free dye significantly reduces the environmental impact (water consumption & pollution).
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
Because we are aware that we must act to preserve our playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products.
By using the ECODYE dyeing process for this t-shirt, we reduced the CO2 impact by 50% compared to the previous model.
This is still not enough and that's why we are working to make this t-shirt 100% eco-designed one day.
WHERE DO OUR T-SHIRTS COME FROM?
Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this T-shirt is then manufactured and assembled by our suppliers in Vietnam.
They are partners that have genuine expertise in making our T-shirts and with whom we work in close collaboration.
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.
Working conditions in our production workshops
We guarantee that our suppliers comply with our code of conduct. These suppliers are often located in developing countries where our presence helps to create jobs.
By conducting audits and having teams on site, we make sure that the working environment of the employees meets certain quality standards in terms of human respect, personal fulfilment and environmental protection.
