These softshell trousers have been developed with a panel of kids to best meet their needs during winter hikes.
How will these trousers keep your child warm?
The inside of your trousers is brushed, the fabric’s knit is structured to give more volume to trap air, insulating natural insulation.We carry out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory in walking conditions in light winds (5 km/h).The comfort temperature is the calculated air temperature where 70% of users have a ""slightly warm"" thermal sensation.For these trousers, it is 1.5°C.However, every individual feels the cold differently.
How do my trousers protect me from outdoor conditions?
In winter, it is important to be protected from both moisture (snow, rain) and wind, because the latter can significantly cool the body, regardless of whether you are physically active or standing still. We designed your trousers with a windproof and water-repellent outer fabric, to cope with all winter conditions. We also added ankle tabs to prevent snow from getting inside.
What is water-repellency and how can you maintain it?
A fabric's water repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products (spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.
How to dress properly for hiking in the snow
To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle:layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.layer 3: The jacket protects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.
Will your trousers withstand regular use over the long term?
We conduct tests on the selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colour fastness, resistance to repeated washing. All these tests have been conducted on the component of your trousers.
ADDITIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION
We have incorporated 70% recycled polyester in this product.What does that mean? As well as being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact. In brief: polyester yarn is made from oil. Using recycled polyester is to reclaim and repurpose waste products such as manufacturing remnants or plastic bottles instead of using new oil resources. And that's already a step in the right direction isn't it?
