Main Material

When hiking in the forest, in the mountains or for everyday wear, your feet are subjected to significant constraints. Friction inside your shoes, combined with perspiration, can be unpleasant, while the cold can make for an uncomfortable experience without adequate protection.

Why should you choose a good pair of socks?

Designed to keep your feet nice and warm, these socks are made of 31% merino wool. Remember that to stay really warm, you need a good pair of winter hiking boots and socks, specially designed for adventure.

Do these socks keep you warm?

Wool has special properties: elasticity, thermal insulation, and comfort. It absorbs moisture to maintain a comfortable temperature, which is ideal in variable climates. Recognized for its durability, wool is the preferred choice for comfort and adaptability.

The properties of wool

Merino sheep, originally from Spain, have been bred carefully over many generations for their 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?

Here are our tips for staying warm in the winter: 
- Wear winter shoes that are warm, waterproof, and breathable
- Wear wool socks for maximum warmth
- Ensure that the upper section of the socks are at the right height so that they align with your shoes

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. 
Thanks to this relationship of trust with our industrial partners, we can create high-quality technical products.

Where do our fleeces come from?

Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie, France. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It’s the perfect spot for designing our hiking products.

The temperature range is calculated to provide 70% of users with thermal comfort.

How will these gloves keep my child’s hands warm?

Fleece is designed to trap air thanks to the volume created by its texture. This air acts as a natural insulator, keeping the body warm. It is the brushing of the knit fabric that traps the air.

How does the fleece protect from the cold?

In the same way that wearing several layers of clothing keeps you warm when hiking, you can wear liner gloves under your gloves to keep your hands warm. This multi-layer system creates air pockets 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 and can make your hands colder.

How to effectively protect your hands from the cold

When active, your body generates heat that’s trapped 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 outfit therefore has a role to play in keeping your hands as warm as possible.
If you’re unsure about size, it’s always better to choose a pair of gloves that are slightly too big.

How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing

If this happens then dry them in a dry place but avoid placing them on a heat source. Heat can damage the fabric and cause them to lose their shape.

We perform comparative studies in a thermal laboratory in walking conditions with light winds (5 km/h or 3 mph). This is how we measure the thermal resistance of our boots. Everyone feels the cold differently.Comfort temperature: Felt slightly cold and 70% of users experienced thermal comfort in the boots.
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Children sweat easily. To ensure that our fleece jacket is comfortable in any situation, we chose a breathable fabric. It effectively wicks away body moisture, keeping young adventurers dry on all their adventures.

Why make a breathable fleece?

The breathability of a fabric is measured by its evaporative resistance or RET (ISO 11092 standard): The lower it is, the more breathable the fabric. Examples: RET < 9 (very breathable), 9 < RET < 12 (breathable), RET > 20 (low breathability).
This fleece jacket has a RET index of 6.3.

What is the RET index?

This fleece jacket is available from age 2 to 6 years old.

What sizes are available?

A machine wash at 30°C is perfect for preserving all the properties of fleece. We also recommend turning it inside out and closing the zipper before washing. Don’t exceed 1,000 rpm for the spin cycle. Do not tumble dry to avoid damaging it.
