Material
Finnish manufacturers pay special attention to fabrics and other materials from which winter overalls are made.
As an external material, both ordinary and membrane tissues can be used.
In any case, quality materials are used that are highly resistant to rubbing, tension and tearing. They tend to "breathe" and provide excellent protection from frost, wind and moisture.
In addition, the upper fabric is processed by manufacturers with a special compound that prevents dirt from being absorbed into the product. Due to this, Finnish winter overalls can be washed quite rarely, just a couple of times per season.
In order to avoid damage to the structure of the outer fabric and the protective coating applied during the production, conventional laundry detergents cannot be used; manufacturers only recommend special detergents. Minor dirt can be removed with a damp sponge or under running warm water.
Winter overalls made in Finland are sewn with or without internal fleece insulation. In the second case, you will have to separately buy a fleece pant or thin wool pantyhose. For some overalls manufacturers offer to purchase special linings, fastened with zippers or buttons. The principle of layering in the preparation of a winter outfit will not allow the child to freeze in the cold.
Insulation in the Finnish winter overalls is used light and hypoallergenic:
- tinsuleyt;
- holofiber;
- thermophil;
- Waltherm;
- isosoft
Thanks to the finest fibers in their structure, they allow the maximum heat to be kept inside the jumpsuit. The product, warmed by modern filler, dries quickly and is not deformed during washing or active wear. All heat insulators used for sewing coveralls are certified to the most stringent European standards and are recommended for the production of safe children's clothing.
The maximum amount of artificial insulation in winter Finnish overalls is 300-350 grams, the minimum is 200.For our northern winters, insulation with a density of 280-350 grams is suitable, and insulation with lower density can be recommended only for outdoor activities at temperatures around zero. Finnish winter overalls with the maximum amount of insulation can withstand temperatures down to -25-30 degrees.
Often, natural down is used as insulation. Down overalls have their downsides and advantages. Of course, natural filler is more environmentally friendly, but despite this, duck down is not sufficiently heat-resistant for severe frosts, and goose - on the contrary, is excessively hot, especially for moving children. In addition, dust mites, which are dangerous for allergy sufferers, can get in a natural insulation, it absorbs moisture and dries for a long time.
