FORCLAZ by decathlon Liner Glove Mt 100 Fleece Black New

Designed by trekking enthusiasts, these recycled polyester gloves provide warmth and durability for walking in cool weather

USAGE TEMPERATURE MEASURED

All our gloves are laboratory tested on a thermal hand. The minimum temperatures for use (recommended and limit) are the result of a study carried out with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h winds. These temperatures are only valid in walking conditions.

• The Trek 100 liner gloves have a heat rating of 1 out of 5.
• Recommended temperature: 8°C
• Limit temperature: 3°C

HANDS PROTECTION FROM THE COLD

By applying the layering principle, you can optimise the insulation of your hands. Consequently, by wearing liner gloves in addition to gloves, several air gaps are created around your hands, which provide effective insulation from the cold. To achieve this, the gloves must be big enough not to compress your fingers. This is because the compression slows down the blood flow in the fingers, which prevents them from keeping warm.

THE RIGHT CLOTHING

When active, the body generates heat which is preserved thanks to the thermal insulation of your clothing. If the clothing is inadequate, your body cools and the blood flow to the hands and feet drops in order to keep your upper body warm. Your clothing can therefore play a role in keeping your hands warm.
