Adult thermal mountain and trekking gloves with touchscreen Forclaz MT500

Description

These gloves, designed for experienced trekkers, will offer warmth and dexterity in cool weather. How is the usage temperature measured? Our gloves are tested using a thermal hand model in the laboratory. The minimum usage temperatures (recommended and limit) are determined based on results provided by a test team of 23 members while walking and exposed to temperatures between 5 °C and -20 °C with a wind of 10 km/h. These temperatures are only valid in walking conditions. The warmth of the MT 500 gloves has been rated 1 out of 5. Recommended temperature: 8 °C. Limit temperature: 3 °C. How to properly protect your hands from the cold Just as you wear several layers when dressing for trekking, you can wear liner gloves under your gloves which will act as a thermal base layer and windproof liner gloves. This multi-layer system encourages the formation of air pockets around the hands to effectively insulate them from the cold. You must choose gloves that are large enough so that your fingers are not compressed. Indeed, compression slows down blood circulation in the fingers. How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing? The body in activity produces heat, and this is conserved thanks to the thermal insulation provided by clothing. If the clothing is inadequate, the body cools down and blood circulation to the extremities (such as the hands) is reduced to keep the torso warm. Clothing can therefore play a role in optimising the retention of heat in the hands. What is glove dexterity? Glove dexterity is its ability to manipulate objects. Our MT500 gloves have been rated in the laboratory. The closer the glove dexterity score is to 5, the more similar the manipulation with gloves is to manipulation without gloves. For example, we have tested the ability to easily put on and open a jacket, handle bivouac objects, drink and eat with the MT 500 gloves on. The MT500 gloves have been rated with a dexterity level of 4 out of 5. Are these gloves windproof? The MT 500 Stretch gloves are not windproof. Did you know that wind increases your feeling of cold? So for an outside temperature of 0 °C, combined with a wind of 20 km/h, the wind chill will be -10 °C. Windproof components allow for reducing the cooling effects produced by the wind or by the speed relative to the sporting activity. Therefore, we recommend completing the purchase with some waterproof and windproof MT 500 overgloves. Have your gloves got wet? In this case, dry them in a dry place, but avoid placing them on a heat source. This can damage the fibres and deform them! Touchscreen-compatible and breathable, these gloves are reinforced on the palm and fingers. Warmth Perfect for mid-season. Recommended temperature: 8 °C Limit temperature: 3 °C. Stretchy
