DEPERLANCE
To protect you during your cross-country ski outings in the snow, we have designed water-repellent garments.
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes).
How can I stay warm and dry on my cross-country ski outings?
We recommend following the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (technical undergarment) which allows moisture transfer to keep the skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (T-shirt, fleece) which provides warmth and moisture transfer.
Layer 3: outer and protective (jacket) which protects against the elements: wind, snow and cold.
Adapt the number of layers according to the intensity of your effort and the weather, and opt for breathable clothing.
Why protect yourself from the wind?
Did you know that wind makes you feel colder?
For example, at an outside temperature of 0° with 20 km/h wind, the temperature felt will be -10°.
So-called "windproof" components reduce this cooling effect by preventing the circulation of air caused by the wind or the relative speed of the sporting activity.
