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.

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.

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.

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 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.

How should I look after my mittens/fingerless gloves?

Ease of use

These over-gloves protect you from bad weather such as rain, snow and wind. Designed for trekking in unpredictable weather conditions. 

Enjoy an extra 5°C warmth when worn over a pair of merino wool liner gloves or MT 500 stretch gloves. 
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.

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.

This merino wool headband provides extra warmth for your outdoor adventures. Wool thread protected by polyamide for greater durability.

The merino wool headband is reinforced for greater durability. This is thanks to a new yarn structure. A polyamide thread forms a fine sheath that protects the merino wool fibres against friction and tears.
The fabric weight is 155 g/m².

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.
