QUECHUA Women's snow hiking high boots SH100 warm - Blue

Based on the field and lab tests carried out to measure the perception of cold with a panel of users, we gauge the thermal insulation of our boots when stationary (static) and when moving (dynamic). It is therefore possible to accurately know down to which temperature your shoes are protecting you. The comfort temperature ratings are given for the boots. We take into account the differences in the perception of cold between men and women.

Tested in the laboratory, the boots provide optimal waterproofing. The boots are initially immersed in water with pressurised air inside to check for bubbles on the surface of the boot. Then they are placed on a mechanical arm simulating walking, half immersed in water. We check that the inside of the boots stay perfectly dry. These laboratory tests are supplemented by use and ageing tests in the field.

During the waterproofing tests, we test 3 levels of waterproofing, with 2000 flexes (approx. equivalent to a 4 km walk), 4000 flexes (approx. equivalent to an 8 km walk) and 8000 flexes (approx. equivalent to a 16 km walk).
