WARMTH
We designed this vest with wadding on the body to keep your child warm while cross-country skiing.
The wadding is a synthetic component based on a polyester fibre that traps a large quantity of air. Given the insulating properties of air, the wadding provides good protection from the cold.
How to dress your child for their cross-country ski outings
Follow the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (high-tech base layer) that wicks away moisture to keep the skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (T-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket, vest) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow, and cold.
Adjust the number of layers to the level of effort and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.
Why should you protect yourself from the wind?
Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder?
With an outside temperature of 0°C and a 20 km/h wind, the perceived temperature is -10°C.
The so-called "windproof" components help to reduce this wind chill by blocking the air flow resulting from actual wind and the forward motion of your activity.
A score for comparing products' environmental impact
The environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire life cycle using various indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.) with each other.
Decathlon actively promotes this environmental rating system.
