Men’s Cross-Country Skiing Warm Shorts XC S SHORT 500

Our team has developed these shorts for cross-country skiing at average intensity and/or in cool weather.Thanks to their recycled wadding and windproof component, the 500 shorts worn with a base layer underneath will protect you from the cold and the wind.

Warmth

These shorts are made with recycled wadding to keep you warm during your cross-country ski outings.
The wadding is a synthetic component based on a polyester fibre which traps a large quantity of air. Given the insulating properties of air,
the wadding provides protection against the cold.

How to stay warm and dry during my cross-country skiing outings?

We recommend the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (technical base layer) wicks away moisture from the body to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (t-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and wicks away moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.

Adjust the number of layers to the level of your physical effort and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder?
With an outside temperature of 0°C and 20 km/h winds, it will feel like the temperature is -10°.
So-called “windproof” components help to reduce this windchill by blocking the air flow resulting from the true wind and the forward motion of your sporting activity.
