Main Material

Worn underneath waterproof over-gloves, they will provide 6°C of extra warmth when you’re active. 
Worn under mittens/fingerless gloves, they will provide 3°C of warmth when you’re active. 
These glove liners are ideal for wearing on their own in temperatures of around 8°C and above.
We recommend wearing these glove liners with gloves over the top for better protection.

How much extra warmth do these glove liners provide?

All our gloves are lab- tested on a thermal hand to determine their warmth. The results are based on a study carried out on a panel of 23 testers walking in temperatures ranging from 10°C to -20°C with a wind speed of 10 km/h. These temperature ratings are only valid in walking conditions. 

How is usage temperature measured?

Optimize insulation by applying the layering principle. Wearing liner gloves in addition to gloves creates several air pockets that effectively insulate your hands from the cold. The gloves must be big enough not to compress your fingers. 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.

How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing

We recommend washing your merino wool glove liners in a washing machine at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with a liquid detergent. 

Dry them on a flat surface away from a heat source. This could damage the fibre and make them lose their shape. Never put them in the dryer.

What are the special features of this glove?

Optimize insulation by applying the layering principle. Wearing liner gloves with these mittens/fingerless gloves, creates several layers of air around your hands, effectively insulating them from the cold. If you choose to wear liner gloves, make sure your gloves are large enough to prevent your fingers from being constricted. Compression slows down blood flow in the fingers, which prevents them from staying warm.

We recommend machine-washing your mittens/fingerless gloves at 30°C, on a normal cycle, preferably using liquid detergent. 

Dry them on a flat surface away from a heat source. Heat could damage the fibre and make them lose their shape.

Packaging

Wool fibres can store a lot of air and let water vapour escape, making wool an excellent choice for moisture management and thermal regulation. Wool’s ability to store and release moisture make it an insulating, comfortable material for hiking socks.

The properties of wool

The merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, then carded, spun, and finally used for knitting or weaving.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight, and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.

What are the benefits of merino wool?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend: 
- 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 your socks 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?

These socks come in packs of 2 pairs of matching socks.

Pack of 2 pairs

The stretchy fabric means these socks conform to your feet and stay firmly in place. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise trying on your socks in store before purchase, and testing them before going on a long hike.

Why is the MT 500 headband more durable?

We use wool from merino sheep bred on farms in South Africa that do not practise mulesing. 
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to ensure that the sheep whose wool we use for our products live and are shorn in the best conditions.
This means we have full traceability, allowing us to guarantee the wool’s origin.

Just like you wear several layers of clothing when hiking, you can wear liner gloves under your gloves that will act as a thermal base layer. This multi-layer system enables pockets of air to form around your hands, efficiently insulating them from the cold. Remember to wear large enough gloves so your fingers do not become constricted. Compression reduces blood circulation in the fingers.

When active, the body generates heat that is preserved by your clothing’s thermal insulation. If clothing isn’t warm enough, your body cools down and circulation to your hands and feet drops to keep your core warm. Your clothing therefore plays a role in keeping your hands warm.

Dexterity refers to your ability to handle objects while wearing gloves. Our MT 500 Hiking Gloves have been rated in a laboratory. The closer the glove’s dexterity is to 5, the easier it is to handle objects while wearing gloves. For example, we tested the MT 500 Hiking Gloves for putting on and opening a jacket, handling objects in a bivouac, and eating and drinking. The MT 500 Hiking Gloves have a dexterity rating of 4 out of 5.

What is a glove’s dexterity?

The MT 500 Hiking Gloves are not windproof.
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.
For complete protection from the elements, pair them with our MT 500 Hiking Waterproof Over-Gloves.

Are these gloves windproof?

Avoid placing the gloves on a heat source to dry. This could damage the fabric and they could lose their shape.

How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing.

A glove’s dexterity corresponds to its ability to handle objects with ease. Our liner gloves have been given a score from 1 to 5 in a laboratory study. The closer the score is to 5, the easier it is to handle objects as though you were not wearing gloves. 
The dexterity of these liner gloves has been rated 5/5. In particular, tests were done to measure how easily it is to get a jacket on and handle the zipper while wearing these liner gloves.

What does the dexterity of a glove refer to?

Despite its many benefits, silk is delicate. That’s why we recommend you use this product as liner gloves, worn under a pair of gloves.
Avoid wearing them alone to prevent premature wear, especially during sports involving intensive use of poles such as ski touring, cross-country skiing, or power walking.

The component isn’t the only thing that makes these pants waterproof: the assembly also makes a difference.
The overall waterproof properties of your rain pants are measured with a shower test developed by Decathlon that simulates rain of varying intensity.
The Raincut Waterproof Rain Pants protect you from small showers equivalent to 6 cm (2.4”) of rain in 1 hour.

Waterproofing

To maintain water repellency, we recommend regular reactivation. 
Reactivate water repellency after three washes (remember to rinse thoroughly) or after using a dozen times in the rain. 
You can easily reactivate water repellency by warming the fabric: 
- in a dryer for 15 minutes (synthetics cycle) - with a hair dryer, moving back and forth from a distance of 20 cm (8”), twice
- with an iron on the delicate setting and with the steam function off

Performance in the rain

The fabric is breathable: RET = 12.
Component breathability is measured by thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
RET refers to a fabric’s capacity to let perspiration evaporate. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.   
RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

Fabric breathability

This product is designed for hikes lasting several hours while walking at a pace of no more than 5 km/h (3 mph).
How much you perspire depends on the intensity and duration of your activity.If the fabric isn’t breathable enough for the type of exercise, your perspiration will condense inside the item.The jacket will feel damp inside.This dampness is not rain soaking through the shell but condensation caused by perspiration.This means you need to choose rain pants suitable for your activity.

About the design and finishes of the headband

To find out how breathable a fabric is, you measure resistance to evaporative transfer (RET). This refers to the fabric’s capacity to expel the water vapour created by the body during exercise, thus preventing the accumulation of moisture on the skin. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric. The component of our warm+V2 headband has a RET of 3.8 on a scale ranging from 0 to 40.
