The inside of your pants is brushed, a process known to preserve heat. The principle is simple: the component weave is structured to add volume to trap air, naturally insulating. It is exactly the same principle as animal fur or feathers.

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. In this way, the fabric does not soak up water and therefore remains lightweight, breathable and warm. Water repellency is obtained by a treatment applied on the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend each wash). Products (spray or liquid) designed specifically for this purpose are available in our stores.

In the winter, you need to be protected both from the damp (snow, rain) and wind, as the latter cools the body down a lot, both when exercising and resting. We have designed your pants with an outer wind-proof fabric with water-repellent treatment, to withstand winter conditions. We've also added lace fasteners to protect you from snow ingress.

To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle: layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry. layer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outward. layer 3: The jacket protects you from outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind. The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.

To check 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 have been carried out on the component used for these pants.

This product is guaranteed for 2 years from the date shown on the sales receipt. A product covered by the warranty will be exchanged free of charge. The warranty covers product defects, excluding those resulting from normal wear and tear and improper use.

The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifecycle using different indicators. A score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type. Decathlon is committed to this approach.

We perform 2 types of thermal tests: - a test of the material of the pants. - a thermal mannequin test in a thermal chamber. Here, we reproduce the conditions of temperature, wind (3 mph) and humidity that you will encounter in the mountains when walking at 3 mph. These tests are used to validate our design choices and adapt the thermal insulation where you need it most.

Store in a dry place away from the light. We recommend you avoid chemicals, such as bleach, which could damage the thermal insulation of your clothing.
