The brushed fabric traps air for added insulation.
We carried out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory in walking conditions in light winds (5 km/h). 
The comfort temperature is the calculated air temperature where 70% of users have a slightly warm thermal sensation.
For these pants, it’s 2.5°C.
However, everyone feels the cold differently.

How do these pants keep my child warm?

In winter, it is important to protect from moisture (snow, rain) and wind, because they can significantly cool the body whether moving or at rest. The windproof, water-repellent outer fabric keeps kids in all winter conditions. Plus, the ankle tabs keep snow out.

How do these pants protect from outdoor conditions?

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?

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 jacket 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 hiking in the snow

We conduct tests on the selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colourfastness, and resistance to repeated washing. All these tests were conducted on the pant material.

Limit temperature: Felt extremely cold and 10% of users found experienced thermal comfort in the boots.

Are these boots warm enough for winter hikes?

These boots have a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very fine component (5 to 25 micrometres) on the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering, but allows moisture to escape.

How do these boots protect from outdoor conditions?

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting lab tests to simulate walking with the boots half-submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and aging. 

Are my boots 100% waterproof?

This product was lab-tested by our engineers to ensure your total satisfaction. We tested the following elements: tear resistance of eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, and accelerated aging.

Will my boots withstand regular use over the long term?

Follow these principles for your winter activities. 
Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool).
 Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable.
Boot height: the height of the sock should correspond to the height of the boot—for more protection, choose higher socks.

How do I choose the right footwear for hiking in the snow?

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. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Products for this purpose (spray or liquid) are available in our stores.

How to preserve the technical qualities of the boots

Boots can get wet from condensation and perspiration.
If your boots are very wet, remove the insole, fill the upper with balls of newspaper, and change the newspaper regularly. The paper will absorb the moisture and dry them faster.
Never put the boots too close to a heat source. Leave them in a warm, dry, and ventilated place.

Are my boots warm enough for winter hikes?

Your boots have a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very fine component (5 to 25 micrometres) affixed to the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering but allows moisture to escape.

How do my boots protect me from outdoor conditions?

- Allow to dry away from a heat source. 
- On dry leather, brush with a stiff brush (horsehair and brass fibres) to remove mud and dirt.
- Use a crepe brush or nubuck eraser to remove stains.
For stubborn stains, clean with a brush and a little warm water and leave to dry.
- Brush again with a stiff brush.
- Spray a waterproofing product. This will give a shine to the leather and brighten up the colour.

How to care for nubuck leather shoes

Thermal comfort is a balance between warmth and breathability. Too much heat or not enough breathability lets moisture accumulate and cold set in. Designed with your activities in mind, this membrane prevents water infiltration on one side and lets moisture escape on the other.

Breathable boots for optimal thermal comfort

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting laboratory tests that simulate walking with the boots half-submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and aging. We tested 3 levels of waterproofing: 2,000 flexes (approx. 4 km/2.5 mile walk), 4,000 flexes (approx. 8 km/5 mile walk) and 8,000 flexes (approx. 16 km/10 mile walk). This boot has been tested for up to 4,000 flexes, equivalent to an 8-km (5-mile) hike.

The boot’s traction depends on the number and shape of the lugs. The grip depends on the materials of the sole and the tread pattern, like car tires. Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents slipping when going uphill, and stabilizes the boot. 
Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, and ice).

What is the difference between traction and grip?

The material and tread of Snow Contact soles are specifically designed for optimal grip and traction. Snow Contact soles are more effective on snow than traditional soles. When walking on ice, adding anti-slip crampons to your boots is the only way to ensure optimum safety.

What are the advantages of Snow Contact technology?

This product was lab-tested by our engineers to ensure your total satisfaction. We tested the following elements:  

Will my boots withstand regular use in the long term?

Boots can become heavy through condensation and perspiration if you wear them in wet conditions.
If your boots are very wet, remove the insole and fill the upper with balls of newspaper, changing them regularly. The paper will absorb the moisture and help them dry faster.
Never place your boots too close to a heat source. Leave them in a warm, dry, and ventilated place instead.

The mission of the fleece component is to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture (and the brushing of the knit).
This air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm.

Fleece material: Insulates with air

We conduct lab tests to ensure the highest durability standards: an abrasion- and friction-resistance test to ensure that the fleece does not pill; a colourfastness test; and an aging test to ensure that repeated washing does not alter the fabric’s properties, thickness, or appearance.

Fabric durability

Created in our international design centre at the foot of Mont Blanc in France, this fleece jacket is manufactured by our suppliers in Vietnam and Bangladesh.
We collaborate closely with these partners who have specialist knowledge in fleece manufacturing.

Options

Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we test our fleeces in the lab to ensure they do not pill. Colourfastness test: we check colourfastness to ensure colours don’t bleed if they come into contact with saliva. Aging test: Verifies that repeated washing does not alter the fabric’s properties, performance, thickness, or appearance.

The fabric is treated to ensure water repellency. The treatment prevents water from staying on the fabric’s surface and limits its ability to absorb water. Water runs off the fabric. Thanks to the fabric’s water-repellent properties, water does not soak into it.

Water-repellent properties

Wind protection is very important because of the significant chilling effect wind can have on the body. According to the wind chill model, a temperature of 5°C with a 30 km/h wind feels like 0°C, and a temperature of 0°C with a 30 km/h wind feels like -6°C. Protecting against wind chill

To Bring Warmth

leash

All Wedze gloves and mittens have a water-repellent treatment that makes water slide off the fabric’s surface instead of being absorbed. This means the fabric does not become saturated. It remains light and warm. A treatment applied to the outer surface makes the fabric water-repellent. To remain effective, this treatment must be reapplied every 2 to 3 washes with specific products that are available in our stores.

Water repellency of the component

These ski gloves have a water-resistant membrane (a very thin polymer film) between the lining and the outer part of the glove. This membrane acts as a barrier, making the product waterproof. The product’s exterior materials are also treated for water repellency. Only a rubber glove is watertight. Under extremely wet conditions, a glove with a membrane will have limited waterproofness.

Waterproof membrane

All Wedze gloves and mittens are windproof. Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? At an outside temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 20 km/h (12 mph), the temperature will feel like -10°C.Windproof fabrics limit wind chill and cold.

How does the 100 base layer top fit?

Polyester is the most-used fibre for base garments because it is relatively inexpensive and offers excellent performance in various respects, and especially because the fibres can be knitted to obtain a very lightweight and durable fabric. It actively absorbs moisture but does not dry particularly well when wet.
Its ability to reduce odours is limited.

To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the “three technical layers” rule:  Layer 1: a second skin, to stay dry. Layer 2: an insulating layer that keeps the heat in. Layer 3: a protective layer that protects against the elements.
