WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES
We've designed some water-repellent clothing to protect your kid during their cross-country skiing outings in the snow.
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.
