WATER REPELLENT PROPERTIESSo 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 the outer surface of the 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 transfers moisture away from the body and keeps your 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 is it important to wear breathable clothing for cross-country skiing?To avoid getting wet, wear breathable clothing that eliminates water vapour generated by perspiration. We measure its evaporative resistance = RET RET <6: extremely breathable, ideal for most intense physical efforts RET btw 6 & 12:very breathable, suitable for moderate physical efforts RET between 12 & 20: moderately breathable, not particularly pleasant when making physical effort RET >20: not very breathable and therefore not very suitable when making physical effort RET >40: not 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. 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.

A score for comparing the products' environmental impactThe environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire life cycle using different indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon actively promotes this environmental rating system. For more information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
