This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products (spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I be sure that my trousers are warm enough for hiking in the winter   ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inside of your trousers is brushed – a tried and tested method for retaining heat. The principle is simple: the component knit is structured to add volume to trap air, which is naturally insulating. It is exactly the same principle as animal fur or feathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood ventilation for optimal thermal comfort.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThermal comfort is a balance between the warmth of the garment and its ability to let the body breathe. If moisture accumulates, you will feel the cold during the less active phases (rest, descent). We designed these trousers specifically for the occasional intense physical activities you will engage in. We did this by adding a ventilation system in a micro-perforated fabric with side zips at the thighs. Good balance between heat\/ventilation for optimal thermal comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComfortable and practical snow hiking trousers.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith their slim fit and stretchy fabric, your trousers focus on freedom of movement, which is essential when hiking on snow. The zipped pockets secure everything that needs to be at hand (tissues, lip balm, keys...).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do my trousers protect me from outdoor conditions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn winter, it is important to be protected from both moisture (snow, rain) and wind, because the latter can significantly cool the body, regardless of whether you are physically active or standing still. We designed your trousers with a windproof and water-repellent outer fabric, to cope with all winter conditions. We also added waterproof panels at the seat and lower legs.\u003cbr\u003eGaiters with a fastening hooks for the laces, to prevent snow from getting inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to dress properly for snow hiking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle:\u003cbr\u003elayer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.\u003cbr\u003elayer 2: The second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.\u003cbr\u003elayer 3: The jacket protects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind. \u003cbr\u003eThe whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill your trousers withstand regular use over the long term?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo ensure the durability of our products, we perform tests on the selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colour fastness, resistance to repeated washing. All these tests have been conducted on the component of your trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does my product warranty work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is guaranteed for 2 years from the date shown on the sales receipt.
