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.

Are my boots 100% waterproof?

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?

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?

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.

This parka was developed for winter conditions such as cold, snow, and blizzards. The thick, synthetic padding (double layer on the body) traps air and keeps your child warm. A long inner flap beneath the zipper blocks cold air. According to our laboratory test at -23°C, 70% of kids experienced thermal comfort.
However, every individual feels the cold differently.

This jacket was designed with a waterproof outer material that prevents water and wind from getting inside. To stay warm in winter, it is important to protect the head, hands, and feet. Storm hood with detachable synthetic fur, storm cuffs, and a stand-up collar to keep out the cold.

How does the jacket keep my child warm and dry?

The waterproofness of a jacket isn’t just limited to its components: the assembly technique also makes a difference.
Whether heat-sealed or sewn then waterproofed, this jacket’s overall waterproofness is measured using a shower test developed by Decathlon, which simulates rain of different intensities.
This waterproof parka protects you from a downpour, i.e., 12 cm of rain in 2 hours.

Jacket waterproofness

The waterproofness of a fabric, provided by a coating or membrane, is measured in Schmerbers or mm (pressure exerted by a column of water). The higher this number, the more watertight the fabric. 
This product has a waterproof component resistant to 5,000 mm or Schmerbers before washing. 

Component waterproofing

Taped seams make the jacket completely waterproof. The seams of a garment are made watertight by adding adhesive waterproof strips on the inside, which prevent water from getting through.
The waterproofing is verified via a test that replicates the conditions of a two-hour rain shower. Kids then tested its performance during a hike.

What does “100% taped seams” mean?

Practical and smart details: 2 outer pockets with flaps, 1 secure inner pocket for storing essentials such as your phone, 2 mesh inner pockets to store gloves, etc. The main zipper has a pull and the snaps have thumb loops: kids can open and close the zipper without removing their gloves.

A practical jacket with smart details

Durability tests are conducted on selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colourfastness, and resistance to repeated washing. Washing the faux fur on the hood is not recommended. The hood can be removed before washing the jacket.
If absolutely necessary, wash the fur by hand and then air dry.

Can I wash this jacket regularly without damaging 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 do I choose the right clothing for hiking in the snow?

Care products: spray or liquid water-repellent treatment in the washing machine. To renew the fabric’s water-repellent properties and optimize the garment’s performance throughout its lifetime, we recommend using these products every wash.

How to preserve the technical qualities of this jacket

Water repellency is achieved by applying a treatment to prevent water from remaining on the fabric’s surface. 
Water rolls off without being absorbed so the garment remains light, breathable, and warm. This product is water-repellent, not waterproof.
This treatment should be reapplied to remain effective. Apply sprays on the outside instead of using additives during washing, as these additives can damage the product’s breathability.

To earn certification, the shoes must pass lab tests to assess their grip on different surfaces (smooth, rough, dry, wet). 
These tests are approved by a panel of testers who evaluate the quality of our soles out in the mountains across 500 km (311 miles).

Sole grip

Tested both in the lab and in the field, the waterproofing and breathability of this footwear are guaranteed. The shoe is first immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on its surface. Next, the shoes are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking, half immersed in water to ensure that the inside remains perfectly dry. For this model, the test lasted the equivalent of 8 km (5 miles) under the conditions mentioned above.

Waterproofing test

A shoe’s waterproofing is often undermined by water getting in from the top of the shoe. To keep your feet dry for as long as possible, we recommend using a gaiter or mini waterproof gaiter to keep out water, stones, and sand. We recommend spraying your shoes with waterproof spray several times a year to restore the original water-repellent properties and prevent stains.

Making waterproofing last longer

For hiking, it’s best to go one size up from your child’s usual shoe size. This will ensure optimal comfort on the way down and prevent the toes from hitting the end the shoe. Tip: keep toenails short and, before any descent, check that the straps and/or laces are properly fastened to prevent the foot from slipping forward in the shoe.

What size should I choose?

Allow children to try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks they will be wearing while hiking. Check two comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot while going down. Avoid all pressure points when trying shoes on. Gradually break in your shoes during your first few trips.

breathability (in RET)

Removable Hood

The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 1092 standard).The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with an impermeability of 5,000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 5,000 mm of water (which corresponds roughly to a 1-hour downpour). Waterproofing is expressed in Schmerber units (for example: 5,000 Schmerbers). This number applies before washing.

A coating applied to the fabric makes it waterproof and windproof. Technically, a waterproof fabric is also windproof. Protection from the wind is critical, as wind can chill the body during physical activity.
