Kids mountain and trekking softshell trousers 7-15 years Quechua MH500

Description

These softshell trousers have been developed with a panel of children to better meet their winter hiking needs. Will these trousers keep my child warm? Brushed interior, the knit of the component is structured to create volume that will trap air, which is naturally insulating. We carried out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory, under walking conditions with a light wind (5 km/h). The comfort temperature is the calculated air temperature at which 70% of users have a thermal sensation of "light warmth". For these trousers, it is +2.5 °C. However, everyone has their own sensitivity to cold. How do the trousers protect me from external conditions? In winter, it is very important to be protected from moisture (snow, rain) and wind, given that the latter cools the body significantly both during activity and at rest. We have designed these trousers with a windproof outer fabric provided with a water-repellent treatment, to face winter conditions. Also, we have added adjustment pieces at the bottom of the legs to protect against snow entry. What is water repellency and how can it be maintained? The water-repellent effect of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. Thus, the fabric does not become soaked with water and remains light, breathable and warm. The water-repellent effect is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. You must renew the treatment during the life of the garment (recommended at each wash). Products (spray or liquid) are available for this purpose in our stores. How to dress properly for winter hiking? To dress well in winter, whatever the activity, we advise you to follow the 3-layer rule: layer 1: the technical base layer facilitates the evacuation of moisture to keep the skin dry. layer 2: the second layer (fleece, jumper) provides warmth and allows moisture to escape. layer 3: the jacket protects from the elements: rain, snow, wind. Each layer must be breathable to be able to evacuate moisture. Will the trousers offer lasting resistance for regular use? We carry out tests on selected components: resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colour retention, resistance to continuous washing. All these tests are carried out on the trouser component. These warm, water-repellent and windproof trousers are the perfect ally for hiking trips in all types of snow. The stretch fabric provides great comfort.
