The right outfit
When physically active, the body produces heat. The outfit’s thermal insulation preserves body heat. If your clothing is unsuitable, the body will get colder and blood flow to the hands will drop in order to retain heat in the central core. Gloves and clothing must be suitable to keep hands comfortable.
If you're unsure about the size, it's always better to opt for a pair of hiking gloves that are slightly too big than too small.
Warmth
This liner glove, worn under a hiking glove, provides you with an additional 3°C of warmth.
This corresponds to the ambient temperature at which 100% of testers felt comfortable.
For better protection, we recommend that you wear gloves over the liner glove.
How is the temperature rating measured?
All our gloves are lab-tested using a thermal hand to determine their level of insulation and minimum temperature rating. The temperature ratings (normal and limit) come from a study carried out with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h winds. These temperatures are only valid when walking.
Glove dexterity
The dexterity of a glove is its ability to manipulate objects. Our gloves have been scored in the laboratory on a scale of 1 to 5. The closer the dexterity rating is to 5, the more you can handle things with the gloves as if they were off. In particular, we tested how easy it is to get a jacket on and open it.
Origin of the wool
We only use wool from Merino sheep raised on farms in South Africa that do not practise mulesing.
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to guarantee respect for animal welfare and the environment.
This means we have full traceability, allowing us to guarantee the wool’s origin.

Odour control
Wool from Merino sheep naturally controls the spread of odour-causing bacteria. It can therefore be worn
several days in a row so you can take fewer clothes when trekking.
How to wash your Merino wool liner gloves
We recommend that you machine wash your Merino wool liner gloves at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent.
Dry flat. Never tumble dry.

Did your liner gloves get wet?
Did your liner gloves get wet? dry them in a dry place but avoid placing them on a heat source. This could damage the fibre and they could lose their shape.
Warning!
These gloves do not protect against the spread of viruses or microbes.
