Wearing suitable clothing

When active, the body creates heat which is maintained thanks to the item's thermal insulation. Where inadequate, the body cools and reduces blood circulation in the hands to retain the heat at the core. The gloves and clothing should therefore be fit for their purpose in order to keep your hands comfortable.
If you're not sure, it's always best to select a pair of hiking gloves that are slightly too big rather than too small.

Recommended temperature = 1°C

Corresponds to the ambient temperature at which 100% of testers felt comfortable.

This is 1°C for Forclaz 100 gloves.

Limit temperature = -4°C

Corresponds to the ambient temperature at which 90% of testers felt comfortable.
This is -4°C for Forclaz 100 gloves.

How is usage temperature measured?

All our gloves are laboratory-tested using a thermal hand to determine their level of insulation and minimum temperature rating.
The minimum temperatures for use (recommended and limit) are the result of a study carried out with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h winds. These temperatures are only valid in walking conditions.

Glove dexterity

The dexterity of a glove is its ability to manipulate objects. Our gloves have been scored in the laboratory on a scale of 1 to 5. The closer the dexterity rating of the glove is to 5, the more you can handle things with the gloves as if they were off. In particular, we tested how easy it is to get a jacket on and open it.

Storage advice

Store in a clean and dry place.

Test

Our design team is based at the foot of Mont Blanc, in Haute-Savoie (France). All year round, our designers create and develop products that are appealing, simple, and technologically advanced. These are then ruthlessly tested in the field because we believe that the only way to continually improve is to test the products under the real-life conditions that you will experience.
