A fabric's water-repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm, and breathable. The water-repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products (spray or liquid) designed specifically for this purpose are available in our stores.

The inside of your pants is brushed – a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: The component knit is structured to add volume to trap air, naturally insulating. It is exactly the same principle as animal fur or feathers.

These pants' slim fit and stretch fabric provide freedom of movement, which is essential when hiking on snow. The zipped pockets secure everything that needs to be at hand (tissues, lip balm, keys...).

In winter, it is important to be protected from both moisture (snow, rain) and wind, because the latter can significantly cool the body, regardless of whether you are physically active or standing still. We designed these pants with a windproof and water-repellent outer fabric, to cope with all winter conditions. We also added lace attachments to stop snow from getting inside.

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 2nd layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outward.layer 3: The jacket protects from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind. The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.

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 your pants.

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

We carry out 2 types of thermal testing:- a test of the fabric of the pants.- a test on a thermal mannequin in a thermal chamber. We recreate the temperature, wind (3 mph) and humidity conditions that you encounter in the mountains when walking at 3 mph.These tests validate our design choices, and we then adapt the thermal insulation where you need it most.

Store in a dry place away from the light.We advise you to avoid using chemicals such as bleach, which could cause deterioration in the garment’s thermal insulation.
