A real challenge for our teams?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen trekking, the climatic conditions encountered vary according to the trekking activity and location, which may require a specific line of clothing.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a challenge! Because it takes years to develop this type of equipment. Working with adventurers was a key part of the project. We didn't have all the knowledge, experience and ideas needed to deal with all the tiny details, which are an essential part of Arctic exploration. What's more, the collection had to be as comfortable as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy must the heat stay inside ?  \nSalopettes (waterproof, windproof) padded pant = Ideal protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMODULAR 3-in-1 SALOPETTES: it is the combination of a very warm layer (padded PANT) + a hyper protective layer (windproof SALOPETTE - winter storm \u0026amp; waterproof).\u003cbr\u003eWarm inside! Because we make the most of the multilayer system* several layers of clothing, each with their own function, that are worn one on top of the other\u003cbr\u003e- A protective layer against wind, rain and snow\u003cbr\u003e- heat layer to fight against the cold\u003cbr\u003e- under-layer that transfers moisture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHave you already heard about the multi-layer system? it isn't complicated and it’s very important\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has come here from Northern countries: Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland. The MULTI-LAYER system is a way of dressing used by the locals to stay comfortable outdoors during their activities regardless of the temperature. The system means using several layers of clothing that all have different functions.  Clearly, this technique is essential to perfectly regulate the temperature of your body when at rest, and especially when making a physical effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does my Arctic PADDED pant keep me warm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemovable padded trousers with voluminous fill ending at the ankles. The knees have a pocket in which you can add removable foam pads for more comfort. \u003cbr\u003eThey can easily keep you company in bivouac and even in your sleeping bag. They were also designed as a supplement for ideal warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you really hike in these salopettes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe decided on a minimalist design for these unisex salopettes to offer you trousers that remain practical and help your stride \u003cbr\u003eThe cut of these trousers has been carefully developed and is generous enough to wear an insulating inner layer with maximum freedom of movement.\u003cbr\u003eOur collaboration with our partner explorers has clearly helped us in designing these salopettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre these 3-in-1 modular salopettes too warm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two-way side zips can be used to let out excess heat during activity which can be intense skiing with or without a sled.\u003cbr\u003eThis padded pant is 100% removable and very warm. It doesn't always have to be worn  under the waterproof salopettes. Quite the contrary, in the middle of the day or when engaged in a physical effort or hiking, it is more comfortable not to wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to prevent snow from getting inside at the ankles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur salopettes have elasticated gaiters at the ankles that cover the shoes or boots. If you fall or are in contact with fresh snow, the seal created by the gaiter keeps the snow out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWe're talking about waterproofing, but what is the water-repellent property of my salopettes for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it.\u003cbr\u003e  The Arctic 900 salopettes have water repellent components that prolong their resistance to the weather (moisture, snow, rain). This technical solution keeps you dry for longer at your trekking location by retaining as much heat as possible. To remain effective, this treatment must be restored regularly using the products sold in our stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater often gets in through the seams. Do my salopettes have taped seams?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. As well as having a waterproof fabric (8000 schmerber), we enhance the waterproofing of the salopettes with TAPED SEAMS. These are waterproof, adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. These taped seams are present on the areas most exposed to the snow, e.g. the seat and all the seams most exposed to the snow and those needed to assemble all the parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow can I be sure my gear is strong enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe know how demanding a day of Arctic Trekking can be when the vegetation is thorny. That’s why we take particular care in choosing all the elements that make up our products to guarantee the best possible resistance to friction.\u003cbr\u003eOur adventure partners identified the most used areas and the knees, buttocks and lower legs have been reinforced with an ultra-resistant material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePocket design specific to Arctic adventure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo roomy bellows pockets on the legs for a map or gloves for example. \u003cbr\u003eTwo extra pockets at the waist, one outer and one inner, both with zip \u003cbr\u003eA small chest pocket for added protection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEasy to use, even outside in the cold!\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long, two-way waterproof side zips get rid of excess heat and let you take the salopettes on and off easily without taking off your shoes or skis\u003cbr\u003eThey have a folding seat feature which is practical in the cold and the braces have a rear opening position for quick bathroom breaks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDurability of the PADDED pant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo prevent deterioration of the main component, padded trousers should be worn underneath the salopettes to avoid contact with vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTo understand, how is the water resistance of our component measured?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure, expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. The main component of our jacket has a waterproof rating of 8000 schmerber, i.e. it can withstand the pressure exerted by an 8000 mm column of water. This is equivalent to 100L\/m2\/hour of water for 3 hours, i.e. a mountain storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is recommended temperature measured? in a laboratory following a rigorous protocol\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe tested the thermo-neutral T1 (neither hot or cold) temperature in a laboratory. of this SET (Modular jacket + Salopettes)  \u003cbr\u003eThese results were obtained in line with the ISO 11079 standard, in conditions of activity intensity equivalent to the metabolism of a slow hike  (4 km\/hr) in snow with a back load of 10 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReference temperature categories used in our laboratory tests\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eT1-The temperature of thermal neutrality or Thermo-Neutral equilibrium is a safe temperature, which can be tolerated over a very long period (the tester feels neither hot nor cold)\u003cbr\u003eT2-the cold equilibrium thermal temperature is a safe temperature, which can be tolerated over a long period \u0026amp; cools the body slightly, with a feeling of being cold especially in the hands and feet)\u003cbr\u003eT3 \u0026amp; T4 are limit temperature ratings: although the person isn't comfortable, the product can be used for a short period\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen we pull a pulka, or a sled, what temperatures can we hope to withstand with this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePulling weight along snow is much easier than carrying it on your back (it reduces the weight’s by two thirds), it won't happen without effort! or a lot of heat! \u003cbr\u003eThese results were obtained in the laboratory and during field tests in the coldest places on earth with temperatures in T1 = -25°C; T2 = -33°C for a small load of 10 kg. (km\/hr) and for a larger load \u0026gt; 30 kg T2  = -40°C (4 km\/hr) and beyond if the strain is very intense\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you pull a pulka or sled with this equipment? but what is a pulka?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the Nordic hiker, the pulka replaces a large backpack. It is mainly used for Nordic raids (lasting a few days to a few weeks). You can carry all your equipment with this means of transport: tent, duvet, personal belongings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlease note that all temperatures stated are indicative. They act as a guide not an absolute truth\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, even though our equipment is subjected to field tests in the coldest places on earth. Our standardised laboratory tests have a high level of objectivation, however every person is different, as is their experience and feeling. In extreme conditions, it's important to keep in mind that these temperatures are indicative. Each individual should adapt their equipment to their own needs to guarantee their own safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApproved by\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll our products are tested in the field by user representatives and these tests are run in parallel to our laboratory tests. By conducting this comprehensive and demanding dual testing process, the technical features and design of our FORCLAZ products is being continually improved.  Your regular feedback is also taken into account to constantly improve our range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore on a hanger and do not fold as this can damage the fabric coating. Dry thoroughly before storing in a dry and well-ventilated place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTest\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Arctic Trekking products are created, designed and developed in the Mont Blanc Valley. They are then tested under the same conditions you would experience in real-life use: snow, cold, powder snow, etc. The design teams ensure that the programme for which the product has been designed and developed matches perfectly with its use in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMain fabric: 16.0% Elastane, 84.0% Polyamide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMain lining: 100.0% Polyamide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePadding: 100.0% Polyester\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeg fabric: 86.0% Polyamide, 14.0% Polyester\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMembrane: 100.0% Polyurethane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComponent\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoke: 20.0% Elastane, 80.0% Polyamide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FORCLAZ","offers":[{"title":"navy blue,royal blue \/ S","offer_id":51500409979119,"sku":"2760558","price":178.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"navy blue,royal blue \/ M","offer_id":51500410011887,"sku":"2760557","price":178.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"navy blue,royal blue \/ XL","offer_id":51500410044655,"sku":"2760559","price":178.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/everstrideoutdoors.shop\/products\/decathlon-hk-8553948-usd","provider":"Everstride","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
