PUPPET SNOW BABY MITTENS - PINK

Wadding thermal insulation

Thermal insulation will keep your young skiers at the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. The garment adapts to the body's physical movement and to the outside environment. Wed'ze uses wadding for insulation to keep the body warm. This synthetic wadding containing polyester stores more or less air, depending on the size of the fibres. So the thicker the wadding, the more air it contains, and the warmer it is.

Membrane

The membrane is a very thin component applied to the inner surface of the outer fabric. This hydrophilic component prevents water from seeping in while wicking away perspiration produced by the body. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to staying warm and dry.

What is water-repellency?

A water-repellent fabric allows water to glide over its surface without absorbing it: so the textile does not absorb water and remains light and breathable. You will see water droplets form and stream off the fabric’s surface. Fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer part. This treatment needs to be renewed during the garment’s lifetime (every 3 washes). All Wed'ze ski jackets have a water-repellent treatment.

How do I reactivate my mittens' water-repellent qualities?

To reactivate the water-repellency of a mitten, we recommend you wash your garment inside out on a synthetic cycle at 30°C with abundant rinsing. You can use your usual washing powder but no fabric softener. Then let your mittens dry completely in the open air, flat on a drying rack. Finally, turn your garment the right way around, and put it in the tumble dryer, at low heat for 10 minutes. The heat will reactivate the fabric’s water-repellent properties.
