Main Material

A fabric’s resistance 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.This jacket can withstand 5,000 mm of water (equivalent to a rain shower lasting 1 hour).
To approve this, the MH 500 Waterproof Hiking Jacket was placed in a shower for one hour with a volume of 60 L of water/m²/h. This test reproduces average rain shower conditions in the mountains.


How is the water resistance of the MH 500 Waterproof Hiking Jacket measured?

Fabric breathability is measured by its thermal evaporative resistance (RET). 
This allows perspiration to escape during physical activity, preventing it from accumulating on the skin. 
The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. 

RET ≤ 6: very breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 12: breathable fabric 
RET ≤ 20: little or no breathability

How breathable is the MH 500 Waterproof Hiking Jacket?

Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we test our fleeces in the lab to ensure they do not pill. Colourfastness test: we check colourfastness to ensure colours don’t bleed if they come into contact with saliva. Aging test: Verifies that repeated washing does not alter the fabric’s properties, performance, thickness, or appearance.

How is the resistance of the MH 500 Waterproof Hiking Jacket tested?

1/ Machine wash (30°C to 40°C): fasten hook-and-loop tabs and zippers. Use gentle detergent. Wash jackets and pants inside out. Loosen straps and elastics. 
2/ Avoid bunching the garment in the washing machine as this can damage it. 
3/ Do not mix garment types and colours. 
4/ Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
5/ Choose a long rinse and gentle spin cycle.
6/ Hang to dry or run it through the dryer (minimum temperature, minimum duration).

We selected an insulating lining and filling to keep your kids' feet nice and warm like fur-lined boots.
These warm boots have been tested in an external laboratory according to a thermal resistance protocol compared to other Decathlon baby boots.

How can I be sure that my child’s feet will stay warm?

The boot’s vamp (low, thermoplastic part) is snowproof. To make the entire boot waterproof, pull the bottom of the snowsuit or ski pants over the top of the boot. A hook under the sole helps you to position the elastic gaiter on the pants or snowsuit to provide a good seal and keep the snow out.

How can I be sure that my child’s feet will stay dry in the snow?

These boots were designed to fit a child wearing thick ski socks without compressing the foot and therefore encouraging thermal protection.
To make sure you choose the right size, use Decathlon’s foot sizing guide.

How to choose the right size

These winter boots have been specially designed so that they are extremely easy to put on your child. 
The uppers in sizes 3C/3.5C and 4.5C/5C are open on both sides and can be fully turned back to provide a wide opening for your child’s foot. 
Sizes 6C/7C and 7.5C/8.5C are open on one side. A strap on top of the upper lets your little one try and put the boot on all on their own.

Why do these boots have large openings and straps on top?

Traction depends on the number and size of lugs (3 mm on this boot). The grip depends on the sole materials and the tread pattern, like car tires. Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents slipping when going uphill, and stabilizes the boots.
Grip prevents the boots from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in difficult conditions (rain, snow, ice).

What is the difference between traction and grip?

Space on the lining to write your child’s name and personalize the boot. Helps you quickly find the boots at daycare!

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. 

How does a fleece insulate from the cold?

Young explorers who are always on the go get hot and sweaty. We chose a breathable fabric to guarantee comfort in all situations. This fabric wicks away moisture generated by the body, keeping your children dry even when highly active.

Why make a breathable fleece?

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

What is the RET index?

This fleece sweater is available in ages 2 to 6 years.

What sizes are available?

To preserve the quality of your fleece, select a synthetic wash program at 30°C. Remember to turn it inside out and close the zip before washing. For the spin cycle, do not exceed 1,000 rpm to protect the fabric. Do not tumble dry.

How should you care for your fleece sweater?

Lab tests ensure optimal durability of our fleeces. We therefore test: 
- resistance to rubbing and pilling
- colourfastness
- that repeated washing doesn’t affect the fabric's properties, behaviour, thickness, or appearance.

Air to insulate the fleece?

Kids love moving outdoors. However, their clothes can turn into a sauna with all this perspiration. Fortunately, the fabric of our breathable fleece wicks away moisture. Goodbye sauna, hello comfort!

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.

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

We guarantee the durability of our products using rigorous tests. We check the resistance:
- of the fabric to piling
- of the colours to washing 
- of the fabric to repeated washing
- of the fabric to abrasion and friction with a Martindale test

The spaces created by the material’s texture trap air; this air acts as a natural insulator, keeping your child warm. The brushed knit fabric traps air.

Fleece material: Insulates with air

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). Water repellency products are available in our stores. 

Component water resistance

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 do I preserve the technical components of my pants?

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.

Fleece material: Insulation provided by air

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.

The “ball fibre” filling is a good alternative to feathers:
- The fibres trap a lot of air, providing insulation from the cold.
- It provides good thermal insulation even when wet.
- Easy to care for: can be machine-washed, ideally with tennis balls as for a pillow so that the wadding remains well distributed.
If not, you will have to shake the jacket to distribute it well.

The benefits of “ball fibre” synthetic filling 

Water repellency is achieved by applying a treatment to prevent water from absorbing into the fabric. 
Water rolls off without being absorbed so the garment remains light, breathable, and warm. This product is water-repellent, not waterproof.
The treatment should be reapplied to remain effective. Use sprays that are applied to the outside, rather than additives used when washing the garment, which can damage the product's breathability.
