MI500 Protect, Snowboard Mittens, Kids'

When snowboarding, a so-called "torus" fracture is one of the injuries that occurs frequently in kids. Although you recover well and fairly quickly, it's still a fracture. To significantly reduce this risk, this mitten was designed and tested according to a protocol resulting from the EN 14120 standard, on 3 important points in particular: 1. cushioning at the palm 2. limited wrist extension angle 3. extremely good support on the hand and wrist thanks to the mitten and wrist guard combination.

There are 3 reasons for this: 1. The foam in the palm of the hand and the wrist reinforcement plate will be correctly positioned 2. you can't lose or forget the wrist guard. For kids AND parents, this seemed really worthwhile to us. 3. and therefore very reassuring: if a kid is wearing their mittens, they will be protected.

For these mittens, we deliberately put the sleeve of the jacket over the mittens. It is long to protect the wrist and narrow so that the sleeve fits easily over it.

There is an elastic strap for removing your gloves on ski lifts without any risk of losing them.

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability for water to form on the surface without being absorbed because of a treatment applied to the outer surface of the fabric. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the life of the product, after 2 to 3 washes on average, using products available in our stores.

14.5% reduction in environmental impact (climate change, CO2) compared to a product that is not eco-designed, due to _5.8% recycled material (inner fill and external polyester), _21.3% bulk dyed material (dope dye process; palm of the hand and inner lining).

The environmental score of these mittens is E, lower than other Decathlon kids’ gloves/mittens as these have a built-in wrist guard, making them heavier as they use more material. However, keep in mind that _ it is a mitten and wrist guard _ without measures to reduce its environmental footprint, this mitten would be 14.5% more impactful.
