- 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 -5°C and 10 km/h winds. These temperatures are only valid in walking conditions. The Wilder gloves are given a warmth rating of 1 out of 5. Recommended temperature: 4°C | Limit temperature: -1°C
- Just as you would use the three-layer system when dressing for a trek, you can wear thermal liner gloves and windproof overgloves. This multi-layer system creates several layers of air around your hands, effectively insulating them from the cold. Choose gloves that are big enough to avoid compressing your fingers: compression slows down blood flow in the fingers and makes them feel colder.
- 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.
- The dexterity of a glove refers to the ability to handle an object whilst wearing it. Our gloves are laboratory-tested on a scale of 1 to 5 for their ability to allow users to put on and take off their jackets easily, handle bivouacking equipment, eat and drink. The closer the score is to 5, the more the technique resembles a bare-handed technique. Our Wilder gloves have been rated 4 out of 5, ensuring a high level of dexterity.
- Wilder gloves are not windproof, and we recommend that you complement your purchase with waterproof and windproof overgloves. In fact, the wind makes it feel colder: at a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 30 km/h, the wind chill is -10°C. Windproof features help to reduce the cooling effect caused by wind or the relative speed of the sporting activity.
- If your gloves are wet, leave them to dry in a dry place. Avoid direct sources of heat to prevent damage to the fibres and deformation.
