SUMMARY

These Vertical Lafont 2017 men's extreme cold salopettes, designed in Quebec to conquer harsh Canadian winters, are your ultimate full-coverage shield against freezing temperatures. They combine a 4-way stretch waterproof and breathable fabric, fully taped seams, and a powerful 120g thermal insulation (rated down to -25°C*).

Engineered to completely eliminate cold draughts, the high-rise back and front bib design effectively seals the lumbar area—a common weak point in standard trousers. Features include adjustable elastic braces, lateral Lycra panels for mobility, articulated knees, and integrated snow gaiters. Classic straight fit (81.3 cm inside leg). Available in sizes S to XXL.

An essential outer layer (Layer 3), perfect for snowmobiling, Nordic expeditions, outdoor work, or any prolonged activity in sub-zero environments.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Men's Lafont 2017 Extreme Cold Salopettes — Vertical

Protection Extreme Cold
Inside Leg 81.3 cm
Insulation 120g Polyester
Thermal Rating Down to −25 °C*
ORIGIN & PERFORMANCE Designed in Quebec — 4-Way Stretch

Cold doesn't penetrate the fabric; it sneaks in at the waist

This is the fundamental difference between standard trousers and salopettes, especially when facing a Canadian winter. The front bib and high-rise back completely eliminate the waist gap that exposes your lower back to icy winds whenever you bend or sit down. Beyond this, the Lafont 2017 delivers top-tier technical performance: 4-way stretch waterproof-breathable fabric, fully taped seams, 120g insulation, and a smooth nylon lining, keeping you protected down to −25 °C*. Designed for mobility, they feature adjustable elastic braces, internal Lycra side panels from waist to knee, articulated knees, and integrated snow gaiters. Classic straight fit, 81.3 cm inside leg, in black.

Cold-Weather Technical Advice

Salopettes (or bib trousers) sometimes carry an outdated reputation, often associated solely with workshops or ski slopes. In Nordic countries, however, they are simply the common-sense garment for anyone who plans to sit, kneel, or bend over outdoors. A crucial detail many fail to anticipate: you should never sit directly on snow, stone, or metal. Physical contact drains body heat much faster than cold air (which is why Scandinavians always carry a foam sitting pad in their backpacks). Salopettes solve the other half of this equation: stopping the small of your back from being exposed at the exact moment you are most vulnerable to the cold.

Recommended Uses

The Lafont 2017 is designed for men spending time outdoors in extreme cold, particularly when sitting or working near the ground.

  • Snow Clearing & Outdoor Work: shovelling, hauling firewood—repetitive movements that normally cause regular trousers to slip down.
  • Dog Sledding & Snowmobiling: protects your entire back while seated and exposed to freezing wind chill.
  • Family Snow Days: sledging, building igloos—perfect for activities where you spend as much time kneeling as walking.
  • Winter Walks & Snowshoeing: gripper elastic snow gaiters securely seal the top of your boots against powder snow.
  • Northern Expeditions: Lapland, Norway, Iceland, or Canada in mid-winter—one garment covers the whole trip.
  • Wildlife Observation & Photography: allows you to remain perfectly still for long periods, often at night and close to the ground, without freezing.
Thermal Protection: The Power of Trapped Air

Insulation doesn't come from the fabric itself, but from the air it traps. The 120g of synthetic fibre creates a volume of static air between the lining and the outer shell, acting as a thermal barrier. For this to work, the insulation must stay dry: this is why the waterproof-breathable membrane and taped seams are vital. What truly sets salopettes apart is their continuous structure: by eliminating the waistline break, they remove the main escape route for warm air. A closed, continuous garment will always protect you better than thick layers that are open to cold draughts.

Size Guide

Vertical Men's Sizing Chart. Measure directly against your body (without pulling too tight): measure horizontally around the fullest part of your chest, your natural waistline (at navel level), and the widest part of your hips.

Size Chest (cm/in) Waist (cm/in) Hips (cm/in) Inside Leg (Body)
S 96.5 (38.0") 81.5 (32.1") 96.5 (38.0") 78 cm
M 101.5 (40.0") 86.5 (34.0") 101.5 (40.0") 79 cm
L 106.5 (41.9") 91.5 (36.0") 106.5 (41.9") 80 cm
XL 112.0 (44.0") 96.5 (38.0") 112.0 (44.0") 81 cm
XXL 117.0 (46.0") 101.5 (40.0") 117.0 (46.0") 82 cm

Mind the inside leg: The column above shows the length of your leg. The actual inside leg of the salopettes is 81.3 cm for all sizes (a straight cut designed to fall perfectly over bulky winter snow boots).

Between two sizes? Choose the larger one. These salopettes are designed to be worn over everyday trousers or thermal leggings. If they are too tight, the 120g insulation will be compressed and lose some of its thermal efficiency (the adjustable elastic braces will easily take up any extra slack).

Garment Care & Maintenance
  • Machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent, free from phosphates or additives.
  • No fabric softeners or bleach: these will clog the membrane's pores and destroy its breathability.
  • Close all zips and Velcro fastenings before washing to avoid snagging the stretch fabric.
  • Tumble dry on a low/medium heat setting with clean tennis balls to help restore the polyester insulation's loft and volume.
  • Storage: do not store the salopettes compressed or crushed under heavy items, as this risks permanently flattening the insulating fibres.

Salopettes vs. Trousers: Which should you choose?

Both feature the same 120g insulation and technical fabric. What sets them apart is body coverage and, consequently, your posture while outdoors.

  • Trousers are perfect if you are mostly standing and active: they are quicker to put on and can be removed without taking off your jacket.
  • Salopettes come into their own as soon as you sit down (e.g. on a snowmobile), kneel, or bend over for extended periods: they eliminate the thermal weak point at the waistline.
  • Underneath both: always wear thermal long johns (merino or synthetic) directly against the skin to wick away sweat before it cools.

You don't judge salopettes after a ten-minute walk; you judge them at the end of a long, freezing day when you realise you never once felt a cold draught on your back, nor had to pull your trousers up.

* Temperature rating is indicative. Thermal comfort varies according to individual activity level, duration of exposure, humidity, wind chill, and the base layers worn underneath.
