Main Material

The component used is highly absorbent and reduces perspiration odours. Laboratory tested to ISO 17299-3 standard. 

How does the Merino Rec Fresh T-shirt prevent control odours?

The main merino wool fabric of this T-shirt comes from production off-cuts. These surplus fabrics, which would have been discarded, are given a new life by becoming part of the fabric used to manufacture this T-shirt.

What is special about this T-shirt?

In cool weather, the merino wool (40%) in this T-shirt traps insulating warm air and absorbs up to 35% of its weight in moisture. In hot, dry weather, water that evaporates in the wool absorbs energy, which cools the body slightly.

What are the advantages of merino wool?

We recommend machine washing your merino wool T-shirt at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent. Use a special merino wool garment detergent (ref. : 8817234), and leave it to air dry.

How to adjust your MH 500 Hiking Backpack

This hiking backpack is water-repellent, but not waterproof. It can withstand light rain, but not severe storms! We recommend that you add our 20-40 L rain cover, sold separately, to keep your belongings dry in case of rain.

A waterproof backpack?

Your bag deserves the best care! Opt for gentle hand cleaning: warm water and soap. Gently brush in contact areas. Rinse well, then dry in the shade. Avoid the sun and radiators to preserve its water-repellency. Between two adventures, give it a rest in a dry place.

How do you clean the backpack?

Over time, certain parts can break or become worn. To help with repairs, we make the most common parts easy to replace.

Packaging

These socks are sold in packs of 2 pairs. Some packs have socks in different colours.

Pack of 2 pairs

When hiking, it’s important to regulate moisture as best you can. If your shoe is breathable, it will wick away moisture more easily, so you can choose an absorbent, breathable sock. If your shoes are relatively waterproof, you’ll want to make a different choice: you need a sock that will absorb and wick perspiration away.

Choosing the right hiking socks

This sock comes in 3 lengths. The low sock reaches slightly above the shoes but under the ankles. They’re designed to be worn with low-cut shoes. The mid-height sock stops just above your ankles. Ideally, they’re worn with shoes with low uppers.  The high sock is best for shoes with medium or high uppers as it covers your ankle completely, stopping just below the calf.

Choosing the right hiking sock height

You need to choose the right sock size to prevent bunching. The elastane helps the socks stay in place. It’s essential to try your socks on before going hiking.

Choosing the right hiking sock size

Our hiking socks are guaranteed for two years.

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?

The inside fabric is brushed—a tried-and-tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: the knit component is designed to trap air, which acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. Animal fur and feathers work on exactly the same principle. 

How can I be sure that these pants are warm enough for winter hiking?

The slim fit and stretchy fabric provide essential freedom of movement. The zipped pockets keep personal items secure (tissues, lip balm, keys, etc.).

Comfortable, practical winter hiking pants.

In winter, protection from both moisture (snow, rain) and wind is important, because wind can significantly cool the body. The windproof, water-repellent outer fabric was designed to handle all winter conditions. We also added attachments to keep moisture out.

How do these pants protect from outdoor conditions?

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 cold weather

Durability tests are conducted on selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, and colourfastness. All these tests were conducted on the pant material.

Will your pants withstand regular use long-term?
