The i-Run team says
An Unmatched Comfort Sensation
Enjoy winter outdoor sessions more pleasant than ever with the Patagonia Retro Pile Vest for men. Its vintage design ensures a flawless style, while its intrinsic qualities help you perform in the best conditions.
Inspired by models of yesteryear, your new ally is adorned with Polartec fleece made from recycled polyester. Eco-friendly, this material welcomes you into a true haven of softness and provides a substantial dose of warmth when temperatures drop. You can thus fully enjoy your adventures while benefiting from effective thermal insulation.
You can adjust the amount of ventilation to your liking thanks to the full zip. The high collar prevents unwanted air infiltrations to protect you from an uncomfortable cold sensation.
The armholes and hem are equipped with flexible inserts to facilitate layering while keeping everything in place. Offset shoulder seams allow you to carry a bag without the risk of abrasion.
Practical, three secure pockets carry your personal items and warm your hands if needed.
The bluesign and Fair Trade certifications ensure that this garment is made with an eco-friendly approach and improved living conditions for employees.
Our model Julien is 1.78m tall and wears a size M.

Technologies

Polyester Recyclé
The use of recycled polyester reduces our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source. It utilizes waste and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from production. It also helps promote a new recycling stream for polyester garments that can no longer be worn.
Virgin polyester naturally repels water and performs exceptionally well outdoors.
-
Fair Trade Certified
In order to improve the living standards of the employees who make our products, Fair Trade is the first step towards fairer wages for the people within our supply chain.
We pay a premium for every Patagonia product that carries the Fair Trade Certified? label. This additional money is distributed directly to the factory workers. This program also promotes the health and safety of workers, as well as adherence to social and environmental standards. It also encourages dialogue between employees and management.

1% pour la planète

Polartec
Polartec synthetic fabrics aim to mimic the insulating properties of wool while being more breathable, durable, and easier to maintain. The fibers used in the creation of Polartec fleece trap the air and warmth generated by the body, while efficiently wicking away sweat, making it the ideal garment for outdoor sports.
