  Men's jackets

  In the mountains, whether you are a beginner or experienced in a practice, it is essential to have a high-performance jacket adapted to your discipline to brave the cold, wind or strong sun. Because you never know in advance what the weather will be like, having a good anorak should keep you dry and warm throughout your practice. Most often, a good ski jacket is the combination of technology, comfort, and more and more aesthetics, to offer optimal protection against the elements or even extreme conditions. In addition, the idea is to feel comfortable, free in your movements with a light, breathable, ergonomic, insulating and waterproof product. Functional and padded, the Icepeak KELSON jacket is made from a waterproof and windproof Icetech fabric to withstand winter temperatures and give you the freedom to venture into the snow at will. With the Haglöfs ESSENS MIMIC jacket, you will be protected from humidity and cold thanks to its insulating technology QuadFusion™ Highly stretchable, the jacket leaves you free to move around.
  A good anorak is also a stylish product, well cut, with colours, for a trendy look. It is therefore important to make the right choice from a very wide range of anoraks available. Each anorak has its own characteristics that can be decisive for practicing its discipline in good conditions and thus spend a good time in the mountains. Our anoraks can be adapted to all your needs, each with the minimum safety required for any mountain clothing.
  The Gore Tex, the famous membrane.
  Having a Gore Tex anorak is a great ally to stay dry throughout your practice. It is a membrane that provides durable waterproofing, superior breathability, wind protection and, in some models, thermal insulation for total comfort. Having a Gore Tex jacket adapted to your practice will allow you to ski, hike for hours without feeling a feeling of humidity inside the jacket. However, a Gore Tex anorak should be machine washed from time to time to avoid clogging the micro-perforations that allow moisture to escape. These are the ones that keep the textile dry even under high intensity stress.
  A new technology, primaloft.
  Primaloft technology is an interesting alternative to natural down, offering a synthetic material with very similar technical characteristics. This is the assurance of being comfortable in your ski jacket, while avoiding the purchase of natural down coats, which can sometimes be harmful to the animals concerned.
  Finally, experts in mountain hiking and skiing have selected a set of products that will meet your expectations and requirements. You will be able to find extremely technical, aesthetic, technological jackets, at all prices, and for all mountain practices (alpine skiing, snowboarding, ski touring, cross-country skiing, hiking, snowshoeing).

  Trousers

  Men's technical trousers

  Ski trouser technologies have evolved over the past few years to become more and more technical. The best international brands have developed pants that protect against cold, wind, humidity and perspiration. In addition, all the pants selected by experts are lightweight and abrasion-resistant. No more sponge pants that take on water as soon as the first flakes appear. Beyond their increasingly advanced technicality, men's technical trousers are also very comfortable, aesthetic, and thus allow great freedom, fluidity and ease of movement. And we expect no less to enjoy the mountains this winter. These are characteristics that can be found in all the brands we offer among a selected range of technical trousers.
  To choose your men's technical pants, it will be a matter of clarifying why you need them. Are you more of a ski tourer? Alpine skiing? Or hiking? Depending on your activity, you may not have to choose the same garment. If you ski downhill, the pants should have features such as waterproofness and warmth. If you prefer ski touring, you should choose pants that favour movement with a stretch fabric, that is water-repellent, with ventilation zips, and that have gaiters. However, an outfit for one practice is not necessarily incompatible for another practice. Your practice will simply be simplified by choosing one outfit over another.
  For example, Gore Tex pants can be a very interesting solution for downhill skiing. It is a membrane that offers total waterproofing (28,000 mm) in addition to good breathability thanks to an extraordinary membrane technology. This is due to the structure of the textile: it is equipped with microscopic perforations, the diameter of which has been perfectly studied. These tiny tiny holes allow water in the gaseous state, in the form of steam, to pass through the fabric, thus evacuating perspiration. On the other hand, when the water drops are in a liquid state, they are too chemically voluminous to pass through the textile. The main idea is to stay dry all day to enjoy the mountain more.

  You can find on the Speck-Sports website a very wide range of men's technical trousers, from the most sophisticated to the least sophisticated, from the most to the least expensive too. You can also find all types of styles, and all types of shapes to have the most suitable outfit for your morphology and your practice.
  The highest quality pants we offer are the SCOTT Vertic GTX 3L. These pants are the most technical, efficient and the favorite of the most experienced skiers in the world. It has ventilation on the thighs and a new adjustable lapel for crampons and ski boots. It is particularly suitable for downhill and cross-country skiing, thanks to its single-layer (28,000 mm) gore tex membrane, which remains very light.
  For mountaineering and technical approach walks for all 3 seasons, the Trilogy Wool Pant is an ideal choice. It is perfectly suited for mountain outings in cold weather.

  Enjoy!

  Men's Softshell

  Softshell and men's polar

  You will soon be hiking for several days and you hesitate between a polar and a softshell? Or are you more of a day hiker? In fact, depending on your practice, the purchase of a garment may not necessarily be the same. Hiking experts give you their tips.
  In which situations is it advisable to wear a fleece?
  The fleeces we offer are light, warm and comfortable. And yes, it's over with the heavy, itchy polar fleeces. Polar fleeces provide heat at low or even extreme temperatures and wick away moisture very quickly during exercise. It must be worn close to the body to prevent your heat from escaping and the cold from coming in to tickle your hair. They will therefore prevent any sensation of cold. In addition, they offer great freedom of movement and ensure perfect durability. It is a fabric that makes it possible to offer both economically interesting textiles and high-performance clothing.
  Polar fleece clothing is very versatile and therefore suitable for many different winter activities. Indeed, they are perfectly suitable for skiers, hikers, everyday life but also for work clothes. Often, those who work outside often use fleece clothing.
  Polar fleeces are therefore an almost essential choice in winter. This is why we offer you a wide range of fleeces, with a masculine and sporty design, which beyond their technical nature, will bring you a relaxed style. The Salomon Discovery FZ fleece is an elegant and ideal garment for all seasons. It can be worn under a ski jacket and over a technical top. It is a versatile model that is suitable for a wide range of activities. In addition, the fleeces are very easy to clean, and offer fast drying and do not require ironing!

  However, beware of fabric softeners and softeners that deteriorate the technical properties of polar fleece and in particular their insulating properties. Remember to respect the washing conditions to keep your garment long-lasting.
  In addition, unlike softshell, polar clothing is often neither windproof nor water-repellent.

  But then, how do you choose between a softshell and a polar?

  Unlike polar fleeces, softshells have water-repellent and windproof characteristics. But like polar fleeces, softshells have the advantage of being very hot, so you will never be cold. The quality of the fabric makes it a second durable layer that will stand the test of time.
  The softshell, in general, must be worn under a waterproof membrane, but it can also be worn alone in cold and dry weather. 
  So, softshell clothing serves both as a second layer and a little bit of a third layer. They are generally:
  Windproof.
  Water repellents (water runs off the outer fabric) - which is partly the role of the third layer.
  Non-impermeable (water can therefore pass through the fabric).
  Insulators (more or less depending on the model) - which is the role of the second layer.
  Small bad weather conditions
  A softshell is therefore very useful when it is cold and windy. Without softshell, in these conditions, you would have to put a rain jacket over your fleece to cut yourself off from the wind and you would lose a lot of breathability - which can be embarrassing during an effort.

  The big advantage of the softshell is that it can withstand small weather conditions. Thanks to their windproof and water-repellent properties, they prevent you from constantly leaving and storing your rain jacket in the bag. PAYUN hoodie millet seems to be an interesting choice due to its high alpine efficiency and hushed discretion. This jacket features a hybrid design that reinvents the softshell style for winter trekking. It is 100% windproof and water-repellent.
  Cold weather without wind
  When it is cold and there is no wind, a fleece is more practical and comfortable during an effort. Indeed, they are more breathable than a softshell. In addition, a fleece usually dries faster.
  Severe weather conditions
  When it rains or snows too much, however, you reach the limits of the softshell and it is better to wear a rain jacket to stay dry. The idea is to combine a rain jacket with a fleece to make an effort because the more breathable this combination will be. It is quite possible to put a rain jacket over a softshell, but the breathability will be worse and you will risk sweating more, and then getting cold.

  Underwear

  Underwear

  The main qualities that athletes are entitled to expect from good underwear are lightness, comfort, technicality, breathability, softness, heat diffusion, and sweat wicking without generating unpleasant odours. Indeed, mountain activities, as they are, are very demanding from an energy point of view. The body does real physical work, and therefore sweats. Therefore, it is essential to have a technical underwear that can wick away this perspiration so that you don't feel cold during your practice. In fact, the first layer, even if you can't see it, is fundamental to be effective in your practice.

  Thus, we offer you within a complete range, many models of underwear, which will allow you to stay warm in winter, and cool in summer. More and more manufacturers are using 100% natural merino wool as a material. Merino wool has the exceptional ability to meet all our needs. Whether you are a contemplative sportsman, a mountaineer exposed to extreme conditions, or just to go to work, merino wool will be your ally. It will reliably protect your body in all situations to maintain homeostasis.

  Merino wool has so many advantages that if you don't try it, it's hard to believe.
  But then, what are they?

  Come on, let's do the enumeration. First of all, it has an insulating power. It does not scratch on contact with the skin as one might imagine; it is a durable alternative to synthetic fibres, it is biodegradable, it wicks away moisture, it is antistatic, it continues to heat up even when wet, it has no smell, it is light, it does not wrinkle, it keeps its shape, it has an antibacterial effect. Therefore, if you want to go 10 days in the mountains, it will not be necessary to bring 10 cotton T-shirts. All you need to do is bring 2 or 3 merino wool t-shirts to be dry and smell good all along your journey. This is mainly due to the structure of the wool fibre, which prevents bacteria from clinging to it with ease. It is these bacteria that cause bad smells. So if you are tired of smelly cotton fabrics during and after exercise, think merino wool. The latter is in fact self-cleaning, and thus makes it possible to wash clothes less often. If you hike for several days, just let your wool air out, and you can put it back the next day.

  Have a nice hike.

  Gloves

  The gloves

  Most of us have already suffered a soaked glove after a snowball fight, an igloo building or an afternoon on the slopes. The sensation of frozen fingers is then really unpleasant. That's why, whether you're skiing in the mountains, roaring in your neighbour's field, snowshoeing in the forest or discovering Canada's far north, you'll need high-performance gloves to protect your hands and fingers from the cold and humidity.
  To keep your hands dry and warm, mountain and extreme cold experts have selected a wide range of gloves, undergloves and mittens for your winter outings. Most of the gloves we offer are warm, waterproof, thermally insulating, lightweight and wick away perspiration. The anti-silver ion anti-odour treatment "EFFECT by ODLO" anti-bacterial offers athletes a feeling of freshness all day long. You will also find gloves at all prices, in all materials, in all designs, all colours, for all tastes and for all levels: professional, amateur, leisure, competition, and for all practices.

  How to choose your gloves?
  Ideally, the choice of a pair of gloves will be based on your main practice. Do you practice alpine skiing instead? Cross-country skiing? The motorcycle? In addition, the choice of gloves will depend on their size, the material of manufacture, the technology proposed and of course the style, so that the gloves match the jacket. Having the right glove is essential to protect yourself effectively from the cold and possible falls. When it comes to choosing the gloves according to your practice, the K-sport glove from Ski Trab is the perfect glove for hiking and ski mountaineering. When conditions deteriorate, simply unfold the overglove to transform the gloves into mittens and gain heat. If you are more technology-oriented, then why not choose the comfort and thermal heat of Racer's CONNECTIC3 motorcycle gloves. They are equipped with a new thermoregulated heating system. It allows to gain 50% more autonomy; with 3 heating levels. In addition, the XC Alpha Rossignol mittens, made of nylon, provide additional protection in the event of bad weather. I-TIP technology incorporates a conductive material on the tip of the thumb and index finger to handle most touch screens, including your smartphone, while keeping your hands warm.

  
  Glove sealing, the base.
  Keeping hands dry is essential. This is why the Gore-Tex membrane is used on many models of ski gloves. It keeps hands dry and closes the wrist in a more enveloping way. Gore-Tex, a perfectly breathable waterproof fabric, with cuffs on some models that go up high on the wrist, can be a suitable solution for those who can already see themselves on the snow this winter. Its windproof effectiveness and excellent permeability allow good evacuation of perspiration while retaining heat inside the glove. This is how we offer the Moven4 muffle, especially for skiers who feel cold. With its fleece lining combined with a waterproof, windproof and breathable Gore Tex membrane, the muffle will protect your hands from the cold.

  Do it well.

  Beanies

  In winter, when temperatures are close to 0, a hat is essential. According to Gérarl Kierzek, emergency doctor at Hôtel Dieu in Paris and author of "Have the right reflexes", to better withstand the sometimes negative temperatures, you have to cover your head. Indeed, it is through the head that we lose the most heat. About 30% of body heat escapes through the head. It means taking a hat and always wearing the right equipment in your upper body.

  Fortunately, you're in the right place to cover your head. Indeed, we have selected a wide range of hats, headbands, hoods, necklaces and chapkas for your winter expeditions. You will find technical, fun, trendy, sophisticated, or more sober products that will protect your head from the winter cold. You will also find caps at all prices. The most affordable models will be made of synthetic fibres (acrylic - polyester), which will not prevent them from being warm and light. On the other hand, their ability to manage humidity and odours during intensive and prolonged use is limited. There are other models that are lined in fleece inside the cap. You will enjoy optimal softness and comfort. For the most demanding of you, we offer you wool caps, extremely soft when they are made from merino sheep. This wool has the ability to manage moisture like no other material. It can store up to 30% of its own weight in water, and even saturated with water, it will remain warm, and at the same time, it will be anti-bacterial and therefore odourless, even after several days of use.

  In addition, we offer several cup designs that will meet all your expectations. Indeed, there are different cuts, including cups that fall well on the neck for those who feel cold or curlers with voluminous hair, cups with timeless pompons, with solid colors, printed, stripes, patterns, and knitted in a classic or more original way, to punctuate the snowy decor with colorful touches. To assert your style on the slopes, we offer you the tricolor hat JON de Rossignol. Both trendy and chic, you will have no trouble distinguishing yourself with its Rossignol pompom and badge. Aesthetics does not prevent the technique because it keeps your head out of the cold. Just like Vertical's BEANIE hat which limits perspiration.
  Headbands, beyond their technical characteristics, give a sporty and dynamic look. For example, the RS HEADBAND is a warm and efficient headband. Its slightly scraped technical material retains heat. The front is windproof and protects from the cold. Due to its slim fit, it will stay in place during training and running.
  Hoods, on the other hand, protect the cheeks and chin from external weather conditions. Odlo's multi-purpose hood has excellent thermal protection while being breathable and comfortable thanks to its thermal fabric that evacuates and dries quickly. The "Effect by Odlo" silver ion anti-odour treatment gives a feeling of freshness all day long.
  Finally, when temperatures drop too low, it is sometimes necessary to invest in a chapka. The latter, which are of Russian and Scandinavian origin, have the particularity of having ear protection, and which go down low on the neck. For lovers of Nordic travel, chapkas will be an essential accessory.
  Finally, choosing a hat is a bit like showing your personality on the slopes. Then we might as well choose him because he's the one we'll see first.

  Socks

  The socks

  Let's end with frozen toes skiing, icy feet hiking in winter, wet and sweaty feet during a trail, and the famous blisters on the Achilles tendon! Let us also forget our grandmothers' remedies, even if we love them very much. Because no no no, putting newspaper in your shoes is not ideal. We can also forget the superposition of 4 pairs of socks which will only result in compression and friction of the foot on the shoe. Socks, as we all know, are not the most glamorous accessories you want to show your friends; however, they are essential to enjoy your outdoor activities, in summer and winter.

  That's why we'll share with you the secrets and advice of experts, who have already had their feet soaked, to help you choose the right pair of socks. The main idea is to adapt your socks to your practice; and yes, you can imagine that a sock for skiing will not be designed in the same way as a trail sock. They will have to adapt to your shoes, the outside temperature, your sensitivity, and of course to your foot!

  The 10 commandments of the sock
  (from the New Testament "Socks are at the party")

  Commandment 1: You will protect your feet, but also all other extremities of the body.
  If you protect all your extremities properly, you will maintain your blood flow. If, on the other hand, you continue to lose heat with your hands or head in the air, the phenomenon of vasoconstriction will occur and freeze your feet, even if they are well wrapped!

  Commandment 2: You will choose a good pair of shoes, because socks don't do everything.
  Today, it is easy to find a pair of highly technical shoes at an affordable price.

  Commandment 3: You will choose your pair of socks according to your sporting practice.
  For each activity, there is a pair of socks. Light and breathable for running, comfortable and airy for hiking, warm and padded for skiing: each sport requires different technical specifications, so it is essential to choose your socks according to your practice.

  Commandment 4: You will avoid cotton.
  Cotton is to be avoided if you are cold or if you sweat pious pious. Prefer merino wool for rapid heat transfer and sweat wicking for those facing heavy foot sweating during exercise. Merino wool will even be suitable for sensitive skin.

  Commandment 5: You will choose a pair of socks with good support.
  A good hiking sock support does not slip under your toes or down on your calf. The presence of an elastic band on the kick guarantees good support, but be careful if you have a strong foot, it can bother you and compress the top of your foot. The presence of elastane also makes it possible to give a greater stretch to your hiking socks while guaranteeing a good life span.

  Commandment 6: You will choose a pair of socks suitable for your shoes.
  There are low, medium and high hiking socks. As you might expect, it is absolutely not advisable to combine low hiking socks with high hiking boots, as this can cause considerable irritation to your skin due to friction.
  Commandment 7: You will choose your pair of socks according to the outside temperature.
  Another point to judge well: the outside temperature! Indeed, it is essential to have both hiking socks adapted for the off-season and/or summer as well as specific hiking socks to manage winter conditions!

  Commandment 8: You will choose flat socks.
  When choosing your pair of hiking socks, it is important to check that the seams are flat, especially in the toe area, in order to minimize unnecessary pressure points that all too often generate blisters after a few hours of walking. The best way to optimize your comfort, however, is to choose a pair of hiking socks that offer an anatomical shape with both left and right feet. The adjustment becomes much more precise, whatever the shape of your feet and calves

  Commandment 9: You will choose socks according to the size of your foot.
  Gentlemen, don't steal the pair of Madam, you probably don't have the same size. It is at your own risk and peril;)

  Commandment 10: GOOD LUCK to choose.
