WATER REPELLENT PROPERTIES
So that you are protected during your cross-country skiing outings under the snow, we've designed some water-repellent clothing.
The water repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to outer surface of fabric. This treatment needs to be restored during the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes).
How to stay warm and dry during my cross-country skiing outings?
Follow the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (high-tech base layer) that wicks away moisture to keep the skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (T-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.
Adjust the number of layers to the level of your physical effort and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.
Why should you protect yourself from the wind?
Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder?
With an outside temperature of 0°C and a 20 km/h wind, the perceived temperature is -10°C.
The so-called "windproof" components help to reduce this wind chill by blocking the air flow resulting from the true wind and the forward motion of your activity.
