    Sizing and fit

    4% elastane added for comfort and freedom of movement.

    What is our commitment to animal welfare?

    We only use wool from merino sheep bred on farms in South Africa that do not practise mulesing.
    We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to guarantee respect for animal welfare and the environment.
    This means we have full traceability, which allows us to guarantee the origin of the wool.

    How did we increase the durability of these merino wool tights?

    Use of a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibres and protect them from rubbing and cuts without affecting their properties.

    Tip before use

    For a softer feel, wash your tights before first use.

  • Testing

    Test product

    In November 2018, 8 trekkers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team, tested these tights for 4 days in the southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). You can expect wind, rain, a bit of snow, a bivouac... and a lot of fun! We were then able to make the final modifications and validate it for mountain trekking use.
