Test carried out in a laboratory using a thermal hand that reproduces the heat produced by the hand as well as perspiration and wind conditions.

How much extra warmth do these over-gloves provide?

To test the glove fabric’s waterproofing: we measure the resistance of the fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of a water column (test based on Standard ISO 811). The higher the pressure without penetrating the fabric, the more waterproof it is. A material with a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 10,000 mm of water.

How was the waterproof rating of these over-gloves tested?

Did you know that the wind can make you feel colder? An outdoor temperature of 0°C with a wind speed of 20 km/h feels like -10°C. The windproof components reduce the wind chill resulting from the cooling effect of the wind or apparent wind generated by the sporting activity.

What are the benefits of windproof over-gloves?

Optimize insulation by applying the layering principle. Wearing over-gloves on top of normal gloves creates several layers of air around your hands, effectively insulating them from the cold. To benefit from this, it’s important to wear a suitable pair of gloves to avoid your fingers being constricted. This is because compression slows down blood flow in the fingers, which prevents them from staying warm.

How to effectively protect your hands from the cold

When active, the body generates heat that is preserved by your clothing’s thermal insulation. If the clothing is inadequate, your body cools and the blood flow to the hands and feet drops in order to keep your upper body warm. Your clothing therefore plays a role in keeping your hands warm.
