Main Material

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.

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 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.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Snowboard Leggings

This nylon brush is designed for cleaning and caring for cross-country skis.

Before applying the wax, prepare the base of your ski with the bronze brush. 
Apply the wax evenly with the waxing iron on the sliding part (usually the tail and tip, over the full length for skating), then remove the excess wax from the groove and the ski by scraping the base with the plastic scraper.
Finally, brush the base with the nylon brush.

To ensure greater comfort in the saddle, we created this medium density chamois pad.
The fabric is soft and breathable. The padded zone is soft, with a density of 100 kg/m3 and a thickness of 13 mm. Perforated fabric actively wicks away perspiration. The pad keeps you comfortable on rides of up to 2 hours.

Our new medium density pad

The shape of the padded zones was defined by tests on a sheet of pressure, designed from a dummy moulding and approved after various trials and usage tests. These tests, conducted on real cyclists, involved measuring the pressure points on the saddle. The padded zone covers contact points where pressure is greater. There is a dart at the front for a better fit.

Shape

The ischium bone and the perineum are covered and protected. The reinforced area between the legs is relatively narrow to prevent irritation from rubbing while pedalling. Channels have been embossed into the reinforcements to provide greater flexibility.

Reinforced areas

Machine wash at 30°C. Wash on a synthetics cycle. Turn the garment inside out. Do not add fabric softener. Hang to dry in a warm, well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not add bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.

Glide performance

Cross-country skiing is a sport that involves gliding, so the base of your skis must be properly maintained for optimum performance.

Waxing reduces grip and improves glide, optimizing ski base compatibility with snow characteristics (air temperature, snow quality, etc.).

You can perform your own ski maintenance or make an appointment with a professional at your workshop.

Why wax cross-country skis?

We recommend waxing the underside of new skis for optimal glide. Several consecutive waxes are best to build up a proper base. 

Your skis need to be waxed regularly, depending on how long and how often you ski, as well as snow abrasion during recent outings.
Don’t wait until the base turns a whitish colour before waxing your skis!

When should I wax my skis?

PS (formerly CH) = traditional fluoride-free hydrocarbon-based wax
Recommended for ski maintenance and regular cross-country skiing.
----
HS (formerly LF) = this higher performance wax has hydrophobic properties that repel the layer of water between the base and the snow. It can be used alone or as a base.

How to choose a wax

Before applying the wax, prepare the base of your skis with the bronze brush. 
Apply the wax evenly to the base with the waxing iron (usually the tail and tip, or over the full length for skating), then remove the excess wax from the groove and the ski by scraping the base with the plastic scraper.
Lastly, brush the base with the nylon brush.
