These overgloves protect you from inclement weather such as rain, snow and wind. Designed for your treks under unpredictable weather conditions.
Durable, lightweight and compact, these overgloves can be slipped on over your gloves. Thanks to their taped seams and 10,000 mm H2O (Schmerbers) rating, they will keep your hands dry.

- Worn over a Merino wool liner glove or MT500 stretch glove, it will offer you 5°C extra warmth when worn with a MT500 liner glove. Test carried out in the laboratory using a thermal hand that reproduces the heat produced by the hand as well as perspiration and wind conditions.
- To test the glove's waterproofing level, we test the fabric: in other words, the fabric's resistance to a column of water expressed in mm (test based on the ISO 811 Standard). The higher the pressure without penetrating the fabric, the more waterproof it is. A fabric with a waterproofing level of 10,000 mm can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by a 10,000 mm column of water.
- Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? With an outdoor temperature of 0°C and a 20km/h wind, the perceived temperature will be -10°C. The windproof components reduce the wind chill resulting from the cooling effect of the wind or apparent wind generated by the sporting activity.
- By applying the layering principle, you can optimise the insulation of your hands. So by wearing liner gloves in addition to overgloves, several layers of air form around your hands, efficiently insulating them from the cold. To benefit from this, it's important to wear large enough gloves to prevent your fingers from being constricted. This is because the compression slows down the blood flow in the fingers, which prevents them from keeping warm.
- 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.
