Quechua U-Warm SH500, Snow Hiking Parka, Kids'

We developed your jacket for wintry conditions: intense cold, snow, blizzard. The heat comes from thick padding (double layer on the body), which is a synthetic insulating component thanks to the air stored in its fibers. We added a wide padded inner flap underneath the zipper to block drafts of cold air. Tested in real conditions, your jacket is really comfortable even in very cold weather.

This jacket was designed with a waterproof outer component that prevents water and wind from getting inside. In winter, to stay warm, it is important to protect the extremities (head, hands, feet) and opt for watertight clothing. This prevents cold getting in through the sleeves, the back, the neck, the fastenings ... We have therefore equipped the jacket with an anti-blizzard hood featuring removable synthetic fur, cuffs at the wrists and a stand-up collar.

We designed your jacket with an outer fabric that has been coated to make it waterproof. A fabric's resistance is measured using water pressure expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (test based on ISO 811). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a 2000 mm waterproof rating is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 2000 mm column of water (which roughly corresponds to a 2-hour downpour.

Your jacket is completely waterproof thanks to its waterproof seams. The seams of a garment are made watertight thanks to the installation of adhesive and waterproof strips inside the garment, avoiding the penetration of water in this sensitive location. We checked the water-resistance with a specially designed shower test to reproduce the conditions of a 2-hour-long rain shower. We had it tested by children on a hike to make sure it performed all the functions expected of it.

Practical and clever details: 2 exterior pockets with flap, 1 secure inside pocket for storing your mobile for example, 2 inside mesh pockets for storing gloves, ... The main fastening has a zipper-pull and the press-studs have a thumb-hole: children will be able to undo and do up their jacket without removing their gloves, and the same goes for you.

We designed this jacket with a comfortable volume allowing it to be combined with a second warm fleece- or light down-type layer. Its parka style makes it the perfect companion for winter hikes as well as to protect from cold in everyday life.

This jacket has been designed to keep kids nice and warm and give parents peace of mind. To ensure the durability of our products, we carry out tests on the components selected: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colorfastness, resistance to repeated washing. All these tests were conducted on the component of this jacket.

To be properly dressed in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle: layer 1: The technical base layer will enable damp to be wicked away to keep skin dry. layer 2: The second layer (fleece, pullover) provides warmth and wicks away the damp. layer 3: The jacket protects you from outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind. The outfit must be breathable to wick away damp.

Care products: waterproof spray or wash-in waterproof liquid. To regenerate the water-repellent properties of the fabric and optimize the performance of your garment throughout its lifetime, use these products with each wash or more frequently.
