SLIDE 300 MEN/WOMEN'S DOWNHILL SKIING MITTENS - GREY

WADDING THERMAL INSULATION

Thermal insulation keeps the skier or snowboarder at the right temperature: not too warm, nor too cold. The garment then adapts itself to the physical behaviour of the body and the outside environment. We use wadding for insulation to keep you warm. The wadding is a synthetic material with a polyester base that stores a greater or lesser quantity of air depending on the size of fibres used. The thicker the wadding, the more air there is, and the warmer it is.

WATERPROOF MEMBRANE

This ski glove incorporates a waterproof membrane which consists of a very thin polymer film placed between the lining and the part of the glove in contact with the outside. This membrane is a barrier to water and makes the product fully waterproof. Complimenting this, the external materials of the product benefit from a water-repellent treatment, limiting water absorption.

WATER REPELLENT COMPONENT

All the Wed'ze gloves and mittens have been given a water-repellent treatment that prevents the fabric from absorbing water and allows it to run off the surface. Consequently, the fabric does not soak up the water. It remains lightweight and warm. The fabric is made water repellent by treating its outer surface. This treatment must be restored every 2 to 3 washes with the waterproofing products available in our stores.

LOSS PREVENTION

An elastic strap, called a “leash”, goes around the wrist, allowing you to remove your gloves or mittens on the ski lifts without the risk of losing them.

WINDPROOFING

All Wed'ze gloves and mittens are "windproof". Did you know that wind makes you feel colder? With an outside temperature of 0°C and a wind of 20 km/h, the sensed temperature is -10°C. The "windbreaker" components reduce the cooling effects related to wind or the relative speed of sporting activity.

EASY ON

Simply pull the wrist-strap inwards for speedy adjustment. All of the Wed’ze glove and mitten models for children have this strap, except for the FIRSTHEAT mittens.
