The inside fabric is brushed—a tried-and-tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: the knit component is designed to trap air, which acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. Animal fur and feathers work on exactly the same principle. 

How can I be sure that these pants are warm enough for winter hiking?

Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water, keeping it lightweight, warm, and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. The garment should be retreated over its lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products for this purpose (spray or liquid) are available in our stores.

What is water repellency and how can you maintain it?

In the winter, it is important to protect from moisture and wind, because they can significantly cool the body whether moving or at rest. The windproof and water-repellent outer fabric was designed to handle all conditions. We also added attachments to keep moisture out.

How do my pants protect me from outdoor conditions?

Whatever your cold-weather activity, use the three-layer technique:
Layer 1: A high-tech base layer to wick moisture away from the body and keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: A fleece or sweater to provide warmth and transfer moisture outward.
Layer 3: A jacket to protect against the elements (rain, snow, and wind). 
To eliminate moisture, the whole outfit must be breathable.

How to dress properly for cold weather hiking

We test for durability: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colourfastness, and resistance to repeated washing. All these tests were conducted on the pant material.
