How will these they keep your child warm?
Warm and soft built-in fleece tights.
The synthetic fleece is as warm and insulating as wool but more lightweight. Soft and comfortable, quick-drying and breathable. The fleece’s texture traps air to keep the body warm with naturally insulating power. Brushing creates the texture that traps the air.
Should your child wear tights under their pants?
Since fleece tights are built-in, there is no need to add tights, which can make your child too hot and get sweaty and cold.
Can I be sure that these pants will properly protect my child from snow and cold?
Your little ones are important to us, and they should be able to enjoy the snow in comfort!
The high waist and cuffed hems make these pants watertight. They both conserve heat and prevent cold air from entering.
Your child’s back won’t be exposed to snow getting in when their jacket rides up.
Do the pants have gaiters to prevent snow from getting in at the ankles?
Our solution is practical, intuitive, and comfortable: the inner tights have cuffed hems (like winter jackets) to keep them in place.
Position the elastic under your child's shoe or boot so their pants will not ride up and snow cannot get inside.
How can you be sure that your pants are 100% waterproof?
Coating on the outer fabric make these extreme cold pants waterproof. The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a 2000 mm waterproof rating resists the pressure exerted by a 2000 mm column of water (which roughly corresponds to a 2-hour downpour).
Can water get in through the seams?
Do these pants have waterproof seams?
For the comfort of your little ones and your peace of mind, the seams of these trousers are waterproof. They are totally waterproof. To validate the waterproofing, a test is conducted that replicates the conditions of a two-hour rain shower.
Waterproof, heat-sealed strips ensure seams are watertight. Applied behind the seams, they make the pants waterproof by preventing water seepage.
Can I be sure that these pants will properly protect my child from the wind?
In winter, protection from both moisture (snow, rain) and wind is important, because the latter can significantly cool the body when moving or at rest.
Technically, due to their waterproof coating, these pants qualify as windproof.
Smart comfortable pants for taking small children hiking in the winter
Dressing children for winter is a real headache. These extra warm, super smart pants were designed with parents in mind as well as children who want to be able to dress unaided. They are simple to put on and adjustable at the waist with an elastic waistband and rip-tabs.
A secure pocket safely carries small valuables.
The preformed knees and flexible materials of these pants provide freedom of movement.
Will these pants withstand the intensity of your child's activities?
Thanks to reinforced fabric inserts on the knees and seat, children can freely explore the world. Abrasion and friction resistance tests on the various components to ensure their effectiveness.
The Martindale test measures a fabric’s abrasion resistance. A machine rubs a sample of the fabric on a reference surface with a weight at the end.
How to dress your child for hiking in the snow
Whatever your cold-weather activity, use the 3-layer principle:
Layer 1: The high-tech base layer wicks moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: Fleece provides warmth and wicks away moisture.
Layer 3: The jacket protects from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.
To eliminate moisture, the whole outfit must be breathable.
Children get dirty fast; can you wash these pants regularly without damaging them?
These pants keep kids nice and warm and give parents peace of mind. Tests verify that the colours don’t bleed and that repeated washing does not affect the fabric’s properties, performance, thickness, or appearance. So, wash your pants with total peace of mind and freely enjoy hiking in the snow.
How can you properly care for these pants while maintaining their technical performance?
To renew the fabric’s water repellency and optimize your garment’s performance throughout its lifetime, use a waterproofing spray or liquid after machine washing.
