Can I be sure that my T-shirt is warm enough for my winter hikes? |
The inside of your T-shirt is brushed – a tried and tested method for retaining warmth. The principle is simple: the component knit is structured to add volume to trap air, which is naturally insulating. It is exactly the same principle as animal fur or feathers. |
Sizing and fit |
Close-fitting cut. Select your usual size or one size larger if you prefer looser fitting clothing. |
How to dress properly for snow hiking? |
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 outwards.
layer 3: The jacket protects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.
The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture. |
Component test: |
Resistance to wear and abrasion test: for example, we check that the fleeces do not pill using tests conducted in laboratories. Colour retention test: the colour-fastness is verified to ensure that the colours cannot bleed. Ageing test: repeated washing should not affect the fabric's properties, behaviour, thickness or appearance. |
