Test

We carry out 2 types of thermal testing:
- a test of the trousers’ material.
- a test on a thermal dummy in a thermal chamber.
We reproduce the temperature, wind (5km/h) and humidity conditions that you would encounter in the mountains walking at 5km/h.
These tests validate our design choices and we then adapt the thermal insulation where you need it most.
