Sizing information

Our water-repellent clothing protects 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. 

Water-repellent properties

We recommend the three-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 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 during cross-country ski outings

To avoid feeling damp, wear breathable clothing that allows perspiration to evaporate. 
We measure our clothing’s evaporative resistance (RET) 
RET < 6: extremely breathable, ideal for high-intensity activity
 RET 6–12: very breathable, suitable for moderate-intensity activity
 RET 12–20: moderately breathable, not suitable for intense activity 
 RET > 20: not very breathable and therefore not suitable for physical activity
 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.

Why should you protect yourself from the 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.

We designed water-repellent clothing to protect you during your cross-country skiing outings.
A fabric’s water repellency is its ability to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. 
The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the garment’s lifetime (we recommend every three washes).

We recommend using the three-layer technique for your winter activities: 
Layer 1: a second skin (high-tech base layer) to wick away moisture, keeping your skin dry.
Layer 2: an insulating layer (T-shirt or fleece) to provide warmth and transfer moisture outwards.
Layer 3: an outer protective layer (jacket) to protect against weather conditions: wind, snow, and cold.

Adjust the number of layers based on the level of physical effort and the weather and make sure that the clothing is breathable.

How to stay warm and dry during your cross-country skiing 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 when making physical effort
RET >20: not very breathable and therefore not suitable when making physical effort
RET >40: not breathable

Did you know that the wind can make you feel colder? An outdoor temperature of 0° with a wind speed of 20 km/h feels like -10°. Windproof components help reduce this chill effect by preventing air circulation caused by the wind itself or the relative speed of the activity.

Helps prevent snow from getting in your pants during your outings.

Adjusted waist + stretchy component for good freedom of movement.

If you’re a beginner who wants to learn classic cross-country skiing, mostly for recreation, walking and gliding to observe nature and recharge your batteries without too much physical exertion,

the 150 Cross Country Fish Scale Classic Ski is perfectly suited to your needs.
This wide, stable, manoeuvrable ski will make it easier for you to start and discover the joys of classic cross-country skiing!

1 - The 150 Cross Country Ski: the ski for beginners!

Size is based on ability and weight rather than height.

For the 150 Classic Cross-Country Skis with fish scales: 
- 50 to 60 kg => 185 cm
- 60 to 75 kg => 195 cm
- 80 to 95 kg => 200 cm
- more than 90 kg = 205 cm

If you are between two sizes: 
- For more comfort and manoeuvrability, choose the shorter size.
- For more intense use, choose the larger size.

2 - Selecting the right size

The grip of a cross-country ski refers to the central area of the base (underside of the ski).

This provides the grip needed to avoid slipping in uphill sections while providing smooth glide performance on flat or descending terrain.
There are 3 systems for grip: fish scales, grip wax, or skins.

The 150 Cross-Country Skis are equipped with a fish scale anti-reverse system that provides excellent grip for avoiding problems in climbs

3 - Fish scale grip—guaranteed anti-slip system!

All our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings that are compatible with NNN, Prolink, and Turnamic.

The 150 Cross-Country Skis are equipped with Rottefella Basic Auto bindings—perfect for beginner skiers.
They’re easy to use, with a step-in function that lets you simply press down at the forefoot to put your skis on and remove your skis by pressing the button at the front with the tip of your ski pole.

4 - Basic auto bindings—simplicity at its finest!

We recommend that you prepare the underside of new skis for optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are best to build up a proper base. 

To keep your skis in top condition, remember to wax them often!

Check out our tutorials on how to wax your skis on our Inovik YouTube channel.

5 - Waxing, the secret of sustainability!

Our skis are made with a “sandwich” structure: different materials are layered in the core of the ski and across its full width. 
The final product is assembled with a press.

Core = the centre of the ski: wooden (solid or grooved) or composite (honeycomb or Nomex®)
 Base = the part in contact with snow, made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
Grip = the area under the ski 
Sidecuts = width of a ski at the nose, waist, and tail.

Classic technique:
Alternative (or classic) cross-country ski poles are slightly smaller. 
Length of poles = Skier's shoulder

or

Length of skate poles = Skier's height x 0.83
The length of the poles will also depend on the skier's physical attributes.

How to choose your pole length for skate skiing?

Aluminum poles are solid, heavy and inexpensive: ideal for beginners. 
Fibreglass poles are more lightweight and fragile and should only be used on slopes.

Carbon fibre poles and those with other very lightweight materials are durable and stiff.

How to choose your pole
