Product design: our expertise
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
A great asset for designing your mountain walking products and providing you with all our expertise.
HOW ARE THESE SHORT LEGGINGS SUITABLE FOR HIKING?
We designed these short leggings by reinforcing them at the buttocks to last longer than classic leggings. The material chosen for these leggings delays premature wear and these panels protect you from moisture, when you sit on rocks or walk in the wet grass during your hikes.
Unlike running leggings, there’s no zip at the bottom of the leg for added comfort, especially if you’re wearing tall boots.
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.
Today, this product is not eco-designed, but we work every day to make it more responsible: eco-design, repairability and sustainability are at the heart of our developments.
Quick drying
Drying time measures a fabric's capacity for drying quickly after being wet, according to a standardised protocol.
A score for comparing products' environmental impact
The environmental impact of the product is calculated based on its entire life cycle and using different indicators. An ABCDE score is provided to help you easily identify the most environmentally friendly products by comparing the same type of product (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks). Decathlon is a voluntary supporter of this environmentally-friendly labelling approach. Web: sustainability.decathlon.com
