Trek 100, Recycled Fleece Backpacking Gloves

We designed this glove, which is technical, environmentally friendly, and affordable, to offer you a good level of warmth and comfort. This glove is not touchscreen-compatible, but it offers great dexterity for handling your hiking and bivouacking accessories.

All our gloves are laboratory-tested on a thermal hand. The minimum temperatures for use (recommended and limit) are the result of a study carried out with a test panel of 23 hikers exposed to temperatures ranging from 41°F to -4°F and 6 mph winds. These temperatures are only valid in walking conditions. The Trek 100 gloves have a heat rating of 2 out of 5. Recommended temperature: 46°F Limit temperature: 37°F

in the same way you wear several layers of clothing when backpacking, you can wear liner gloves under your gloves, that will act as a thermal base layer. This multi-layer system lets several layers of air to form around your hands, efficiently insulating them from the cold! Remember to wear large enough gloves to prevent your fingers from being constricted. Compression reduces blood circulation in the fingers.

When active, the body generates heat, which the thermal insulation of your clothing helps to preserve. 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 can therefore play a role in keeping your hands warm.

The Trek 100 fleece gloves are not windproof. Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? With an outdoor temperature of 32°F and a 12 mph wind, the perceived temperature will be 14°F. The windproof components reduce the wind chill resulting from the cooling effect of the wind or apparent wind generated by the sporting activity. We therefore recommend buying our Trek 500 waterproof and windproof overgloves to complement these gloves

The dexterity of a glove is its ability to manipulate objects. Our gloves have been scored in the laboratory on a scale of 1 to 5. The closer the glove's dexterity is to 5, the more the glove can manipulate objects like the bare hand. In particular, we tested how easy it is to get a jacket on and open it while wearing the gloves.

Imported

Our design team is based at the foot of Mont Blanc, in Haute-Savoie (France). All year round, our designers create and develop products that are appealing, simple, and technologically advanced. These are then ruthlessly tested in the field because we believe that the only way to continually improve is to test the products under the real-life conditions that you will experience.
