Forclaz Trek 500, Warm Windproof Hiking Mittens, Adult

WHICH GLOVE SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

When physically active, the body produces heat. This is preserved via the thermal insulation of the outfit. If your clothing is unsuitable, the body will get colder and blood flow to the hands will drop in order to retain heat in the central core. Gloves and clothing must be suitable to keep hands at a comfortable temperature.

If you're unsure about the size, it's always better to opt for a pair of hiking gloves that are slightly too big than too small.

What improvements have been made compared to the old model? (the old model corresponds to the code 8396265)

The Trek 500 glove-mittens have been improved over the years based on all the customer reviews. Thank you for sharing!

Here are the points that we worked on for this new winter 2020 collection:

- it is now easier to get the mittens on/off, even when wet.

- The cozy brushed fleece makes the inside of the mittens feel warmer! A pleasure to get your mittens back on!

Dexterity

The dexterity of a glove is its ability to manipulate objects. Our gloves have been scored in the laboratory on a scale of 1 to 5. The closer the dexterity rating of the glove is to 5, the more you can handle things with the gloves as if they were off. In particular, we tested how easy it is to get a jacket on and open it with the open mittens.

The dexterity of these mittens was given a rating of 2 when the mittens are in place, and 5 when the mittens are removed.

100% Windproof

These glove-mittens have a 100% windproof membrane, which is ideal for keeping warm, even in strong winds.

Has the rain got inside your mittens?

In this case, dry them in a dry place but avoid placing them on a heat source. This could damage the fiber and they could lose their shape!

How much does this pair of mittens weigh?
