Adult waterproof over-mittens Simond MT500 black

Description

These waterproof overmitts protect you from the elements, such as rain, snow and wind. Designed for trekking in unpredictable weather conditions. How much warmth do these overmitts provide? Worn over a merino wool liner glove or the MT500 stretch glove, they will provide +5 °C of warmth with an MT500 liner glove. Laboratory test with a thermal hand model that reproduces the heat produced by the hand, as well as sweating and wind conditions. How was the waterproofness of these overmitts tested? To check the waterproofness of a glove, the fabric is tested: that is, the resistance of a fabric to water pressure expressed in mm of water column (test based on ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure without penetrating the fabric, the more waterproof it is. Therefore, a component with a waterproofness of 10,000 mm will withstand the pressure exerted by 10,000 mm of water. What does a windproof overmitt offer? Did you know that wind increases your feeling of cold? So for an outside temperature of 0 ºC, combined with a wind of 20 km/h, the wind chill will be -10 ºC. Windproof components allow for reducing the cooling effects produced by the wind or by the speed relative to the sporting activity. How to properly protect hands from the cold By applying the layering principle, you can optimise the insulation of your hands. Thus, when overmitts are worn in addition to gloves, several air spaces are created around the hands, effectively insulating them from the cold. For this, it is important to wear suitable gloves to prevent the fingers from being compressed. This is because compression slows down blood flow in the fingers, which prevents keeping them warm. How to keep 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 in the extremities (such as the hands) is reduced to keep the torso warm. Clothing can therefore play a role in optimising the conservation of hand warmth. Durable, lightweight and compact, these overmitts can be placed over gloves. Thanks to their sealed seams and their 10,000 mm H2O (Schmerbers) they will keep your hands dry. Waterproofness Waterproof membrane 10,000 mm H2O (Schmerber), sealed seams.
