Follow the 3-layer technique. 
Layer 1: second skin (high-tech base layer) that wicks away moisture to keep the skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (T-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow, and cold.

How to stay warm and dry during my cross-country skiing outings?

So that you are protected during your cross-country skiing outings under the snow, we've designed some water-repellent clothing.
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to outer surface of fabric. This treatment needs to be restored during the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes). 

WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? 
With an outside temperature of 0°C and a 20 km/h wind, the perceived temperature is -10°C.
The so-called "windproof" components help to reduce this wind chill by blocking the air flow resulting from actual wind and the forward motion of your activity.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Sizing information

Our water-repellent clothing was designed to protect you while cross-country skiing.
Water repellency is a material’s ability to shed water without absorbing it. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied during the life of the garment (recommended every three washes).

Water-repellent properties

We recommend the 3-layer technique. 
Layer 1: a second skin (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 outwards.
Layer 3: outer layer (jacket) that protects from the elements: wind, snow, and cold.

Adjust the number of layers according to your physical activity and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.

How to stay warm and dry during cross-country ski outings

To avoid dampness, wear breathable clothing that eliminates perspiration. 
We measure the evaporative resistance (RET) of our clothing 
RET <6: extremely breathable, ideal for the most intense physical effort
RET 6-12: very breathable, suitable for moderate physical effort
RET 12-20: moderately breathable, not particularly pleasant for physical effort
RET >20: not very breathable and therefore not suitable for physical effort
RET >40: not breathable

Why is it important to wear breathable clothing when cross-country skiing?

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? An outdoor temperature of 0°C with a wind speed of 20 km/h feels like -10°C.Windproof features reduce windchill by blocking airflow and wind.

We have incorporated 70% recycled polyester in this product. 
What does that mean? As well as being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact. 
In short: polyester yarn is made from petroleum. Using recycled polyester reclaims and repurposes waste products such as manufacturing remnants or plastic bottles instead of using new petroleum resources. It’s a step in the right direction.
