Am I sure my sofshell jacket is warm enough for winter hiking?
The inside of your jacket is scratched, a process known to conserve heat. The principle is simple: the component's mesh is structured to create volume and trap air, a natural insulator. It's exactly the same principle as that of fur or animal feathers. As an added bonus, this jacket features cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves to limit the entry of cold air.
Thermal comfort and windproofing
Wind considerably increases the sensation of cold.
For example, at an outside temperature of 0°, with 20km of wind the perceived temperature will be -10°.
Windproof components eliminate the discomfort associated with this "freezing effect". By forming a barrier against the wind, they effectively reduce heat loss.
Cutting information
Fitted cut: close-fitting cut and elastane composition for great comfort in use.
Component water repellency
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. This means the fabric doesn't become waterlogged, and remains light, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the garment (we recommend every wash). Products for this purpose are available in our stores.
How should I dress for snow hiking?
To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend applying the 3-layer principle:
layer 1: technical undergarments allow moisture transfer to keep the skin dry.
layer 2: the second layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and moisture transfer.
layer 3: the jacket protects against external conditions: rain, snow, wind.
The whole garment must be breathable to evacuate moisture.
