Kids’ Cross-Country Skiing Gilet - XC S GILET 500 - Purple

Warmth

We designed this gilet with chest wadding to keep your kid warm while cross-country skiing.

The wadding is a synthetic component based on a polyester fibre which traps a large quantity of air. Given the insulating properties of air, the wadding provides protection against the cold.

How to dress your kid for their cross-country ski outings?

We recommend you follow the 3-layer technique.

Layer 1: second skin (technical base layer) wicks away moisture from the body to keep your skin dry.

Layer 2: insulating (t-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and wicks away moisture outwards.

Layer 3: outer protective (jacket, gilet) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.



Adjust the number of layers to the level of physical effort and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder?

With an outside temperature of 0°C and 20 km/h winds, it will feel like the temperature is -10°.

So-called "windproof" components help to reduce this windchill by blocking the air flow resulting from the true wind and the forward motion of your sporting activity.
