Specially designed for babies on snow, we designed this versatile foot muff: An essential accessory for outings in cold weather.
Why is this baby foot muff so versatile?
The design team created a strap fitting system for 3-point and 5 point harnesses. This can be used on a sledge, a pushchair and a trailer on a bike.
How is the comfort temperature measured by this baby?
The comfort temperature rating is included between -5°C and -25°C. We test our products in the lab to measure their thermal insulation. The measurements are taken on a thermal mannequin equipped with clothing and ski accessories. The measurement shown is the outside temperature at which a 2-year-old child is neither hot nor cold. This feels different according to the intensity of the activity and how you feel.
How can I be sure that my baby will be warm when sledging in the snow?
Our designers use wadding to keep the body warm. This polyester-based synthetic component traps more or less air depending on its thickness. The thicker the wadding, the more air it contains and the warmer it is.
The baby foot muff uses:
- Two layers of superimposed wadding of 150 g/m² each layer.
- A layer of reinforced insulation on the seat with a needle punch at 150 g/m².
- A 220 g/m² fleece lining on the back and seat.
How to dress your babies under this foot muff in cold and very cold weather.
To keep warm and dry, simply apply the 3-technical layer rule in addition to the accessories (snow boots, mittens, ski socks):
- Layer 1 or thermal base layer to stay dry. - Layer 2 or an insulating layer, to keep the heat in.
- Layer 3 against bad weather.
How is the waterproofness of this baby?
This waterproof baby foot muff has been validated in a shower test under 60 litres of water / sqm / hour for 4 hours. This test reproduces the average conditions of a snow storm.
How is the waterproof rating of this baby foot muff verified?
The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a membrane is measured in Schmerbers or H20 mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, the more waterproof the fabric.
This baby foot muff is designed with a waterproof coating (JIS 1092 standard): this component resists 5,000 mm H20 (Schmerbers) before washing (equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 5 metre column of water).
