Main Material

On the chest, insulation protects the area most sensitive to the cold. The fabric is relatively thin on the stomach for greater comfort when wearing a hydration belt. The very stretchy fabrics on the arms and back provide great freedom of movement.

A jacket combining warmth, freedom of movement and protection from the wind

A fabric's water-repellent property is its ability to let water slide off its surface without soaking in. The fabric doesn’t soak up water and so remains lightweight, breathable and warm. It is made from a treatment on the outside of the fabric, which must be renewed (every 3 washes).

Water-repellent jacket, like all Quechua jackets

The jacket has several pockets, including one inner pocket and two at the back, allowing you to carry everything you need for your outings (key, water, bars, etc.)

Pockets for carrying the essentials

Reflective markings so you can be seen even in low light.

When skiing, the rule of the 3 layers: 
- A first thermal layer (high-tech ski base layer)
- A second layer (fleece or down jacket) 
- A third layer, your windproof and/or waterproof jacket. 
Adapt the layers according to your level of physical effort and the weather.

Our water-repellent clothing protects you while cross-country skiing.
A fabric’s water repellency is its ability 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 reapplied during the life of the garment (recommended every three washes). 

Water-repellent properties

We recommend the three-layer technique. 
Layer 1: A technical base layer that wicks away moisture to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: An insulating layer (T-shirt, fleece) that provides warmth and wicks moisture outward.
Layer 3: An outer layer (jacket) that protects against the elements (wind, snow, cold).

Adjust the number of layers to suit the intensity of your activity and the weather. Make sure your clothing is breathable.

How to stay warm and dry while cross-country skiing

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? 
With 20 km/h winds, 0°C feels like -10°C.
The windproof features reduce the wind chill.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Packaging

Tightening Type

To keep your hands and feet warm, you need to cover your head. 
Extreme cold increases blood flow to the heart and brain at the expense of the feet and hands. 
So if you want warm hands and feet, wear a hat or headband!

Why wear a hat or headband for cross-country skiing?

Cross-Country Ski Hats

The main yarn used for the sole is 38% wool.

Medium thickness. Recommended for ski touring.

Precision

Extremely fine woollen yarn + polyamide for excellent moisture wicking.

Moisture management

Elastic ankle area for perfect positioning on the leg.

Anatomic design

These socks are designed for demanding skiers and snowboarders looking for the benefits of wool!

Elastic

The high percentage of wool delivers durability, insulation, and high moisture absorption.
The elastane keeps the sock snug against your feet.

Composition

Medium-thickness socks are recommended for ski boots with a medium to narrow shell.
Ideal for all your ski touring expeditions.
Toe box for greater comfort.
Light reinforcement on the shin and ankles.

Features

This ski sock prevents discomfort. The seams never sit on a pressure point.

Ergonomic design

All our sock sizes cover 3 or 4 shoe sizes. The elastane helps the socks mould to your feet and stay in place. Foot length, size, and volume vary from person to person: that’s why it’s important to try your socks on before going skiing.
We always recommend choosing slightly small over slightly large socks.

Choosing the right sock size

The size chart for this sock is more precise than for other models in the range: One sock size covers three foot sizes instead of the usual four. This model also offers asymmetrical feet (differentiated right and left foot) for a perfect fit.

Sizing

This sock is made with an anti-friction yarn.
Blisters are generally caused by socks, shoes, or foreign objects chafing feet. Humidity also plays a role, as it makes skin more vulnerable.
Chafing is reduced when the sock stays in place.
Some of our socks have anti-friction yarn to reduce irritation.
These socks do not provide 100% protection from blisters.

Reduce blisters

Our ski socks are guaranteed for 2 years.
Our commitment: To offer you long-lasting products that you can use for all your winter sports. The products we love the most are those that have had many adventures, with many more to come!

These tights are machine-washable and do not require ironing.

Ease of Maintenance 

Gentlemen, these cross-country skiing tights are your ally! In cool weather or at moderate speed, go cross-country skiing in comfort and style. 

With Straps

Waterproof membranes have the disadvantage of not being very breathable. Cross-country skiing is an activity that requires intense physical exertion. The risk would therefore be to sweat a lot, and then get cold.
That’s why for your cross-country ski outfit, the materials used are water-repellent (water slides off the material) and not waterproof. 
Waterproof clothing is only recommended in heavy rain or snow when you are outdoors.

Why aren’t these tights waterproof?

These tights cover a wide temperature range, so that they can be worn for an extended part of the season. 
If it is very cold, you can add a technical breathable base layer underneath or windproof over-trousers on top. This three-layer technique also depends on each person’s sensitivity level to the cold.

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? 
With 20 km/h winds, 0°C feels like -10°C.
The windproof components help to reduce this wind chill by blocking the air flow resulting from the true wind and the forward motion of your sporting activity.

– For online purchases, remember to click on the size guide, next to the size drop-down menu.

Designed for low intensity skiers looking for a warm base layer in cold weather.

Collar Type

The BL 100 Base Layer Top has a regular cut.
It is a classic straight cut that adapts to a wide variety of body shapes.

How does the BL 100 Base Layer Top fit?

Polyester is the most-used fibre for base garments because it is relatively inexpensive, offers excellent performance, and can be knit to obtain a very lightweight and durable fabric. It actively absorbs moisture but does not dry particularly well when wet.


What are the benefits of polyester?

You only need three technical layers to stay warm on the slopes: Layer 1 or a base layer, to stay dry. Layer 2 or an insulating layer, to keep heat in. Layer 3 or a protective layer, to protect against bad weather.
