Kids’ Cross-country Skiing Overtrousers XC S OVERP 150 - Black

SIZING INFORMATION

Standard fit with enough space inside for wearing tights underneath.

WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES

So that your children are protected during their cross-country skiing outings, 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 dress your child for their cross-country ski 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 outward.

Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.



The feet, hands and head are the most exposed parts of the body and, therefore, the parts most in need of protection.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Did you know that your wind makes you feel colder? With an outside temperature of 32°F and 12 mph winds, the perceived temperature is 15°F. 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.

Why is it important to wear breathable clothing for cross-country skiing?

To avoid getting wet, wear breathable clothing that eliminates water vapor generated by perspiration.We measure its evaporative resistance = RET

RET<6:extremely breathable, ideal for most intense physical efforts

RET between 6 and 12: very breathable, suitable for moderate physical efforts

RET between 12 and 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

A score for comparing the products' environmental impact

The environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire lifecycle 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, pants, backpacks, etc.).

Decathlon actively promotes this environmental rating system.
