Eco-Design
Using recycled polyester prevents the use of petroleum-based resources while maintaining the same features. CO2 emissions are lowered by around 10% by replacing a new component with a recycled one
Environmental labelling
At Decathlon, we have chosen to use the icon from the Ministry for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition (Ministry of the Environment) representing a score from A to E. This scoring system is already well-known by the public, since it is used for household appliances and in the automobile industry. Our goal is to promote an evaluation method that is shared by retailers in all countries. Decathlon is highly committed to this process across Europe
How are our products' environmental scores calculated?
At Decathlon, the environmental score accounts for the product's environmental impact across its entire life cycle and based on various environmental criteria. This calculation is automatic and fully built into the design tools used by our design teams, which allows us to standardise our evaluation methods and build the environment into the product design process.
Moisture management
Air resistance reflects the ability of air to flow through the fabric: 482 l/m²/s
The higher the resistance, the more air flows through the material and the quicker perspiration dries on the skin, which slows the component's saturation.
The speed of diffusion reflects the drying speed: 8.25 mm/s
The greater the diffusion, the greater the surface area exposed to the air, which speeds up the material's drying and keeps it from becoming saturated.
CARE TIPS
Machine wash at 30°C. Synthetic programme. Turn the garment inside out. Do not add softener. Line dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry.Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.
Product tests
Our team of product designers based at the B'Twin Village in Lille is continuously working to make cycling more comfortable for our users. Our obsession is to create products that meet the specific cycling needs of our users and eliminate hindrances to a good cycling experience.
We then test our products in the field, as we are convinced that only by subjecting them to real world conditions, like the ones you experience on your bike, can we continuously improve our products.
