SIZING INFORMATION
Standard fit with enough space inside for wearing tights underneath.
Warmth
We designed these trousers with wadding to protect your child from the cold while cross-country skiing.
The wadding is a synthetic component based on a polyester fibre which traps a large quantity of air.
Given the insulating properties of air, the wadding provides protection against the cold.
WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it.
A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface.
This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes).
How to dress your kid for their cross-country ski outings?
We recommend you follow the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (technical base layer) wicks away moisture from the body to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (t-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and wicks away moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.
The feet, hands and head are the most exposed parts of the body and, therefore, the parts most in need of protection.
Why should you protect yourself from the wind?
Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder?
With an outside temperature of 0°C and 20 km/h winds, it will feel like the temperature is -10°.
So-called "windproof" components help to reduce this windchill by blocking the air flow resulting from the true wind and the forward motion of your sporting activity.
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 short: polyester yarn is made from petroleum. Using recycled polyester is to reclaim and repurpose waste products such as manufacturing remnants or plastic bottles instead of using new petroleum resources. And that’s already a step in the right direction, isn't it?
