Which components added to the filling keep you warm?
In addition to your jacket's padding, the muffs, snow skirt, waterproof zips, stand-up collar and hood adjustment allow warm air to stay inside and prevent cold air from entering.
What is a membrane and what is it used for?
The membrane is a very thin component applied to the inside of the outer fabric. Hydrophilic, it blocks water coming from the outside and also evacuates perspiration produced by the body from the inside. To stay warm and dry, a membrane is a must.
How is waterproofness measured?
A fabric's resistance to water pressure is measured in mm water column (test based on ISO 811). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric, so a component with a waterproof rating of 10,000mm will withstand the pressure exerted by 10,000mm of water.
What parts of the jacket protect me from the elements?
The 900 jacket has been developed with a rigorous component and assembly that blocks the passage of water and limits the sensation of wind, to help you cope with the elements (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To validate its waterproofness, this jacket was placed under a special shower reproducing the conditions a skier would encounter. We validated the waterproofness of this product in practice over several days in different weather conditions.
Why is my jacket water-repellent?
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. This jacket is equipped with water-repellent components that prolong its resistance to the elements. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but in use these properties can be altered.
How do you reactivate the water repellency of your jacket?
It's important to remember that water repellency can be reactivated. To do this, you can use a waterproof spray can (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly all over the garment, then leave to dry for 10 to 12 hours.)
What does a "breathable" jacket mean?
It's a product that lets the water vapor produced by your body during exercise escape. To determine whether a fabric is breathable, its evaporative resistance (RET) is measured in an ISO 11092 standardized test. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric. The 900 jacket has a RET of 12. However, it's the technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh) used by Wedze that limit condensation inside the garment and maximize breathability.
What is the cut of the 900 jacket?
Regular fit. The sides of the jacket fall straight and remain parallel, without trying to follow the shape of your bust. The interior volume allows this jacket to be worn with a first and second technical layer.
How should you dress to stay warm on the slopes?
To stay warm and dry, simply apply the 3-layer rule:
- Layer 1, or second skin, to keep you dry.
- Layer 2, or insulating layer, to keep you warm.
- Layer 3, or protective layer, to protect you from the elements.
As the 900 Warm jacket is very warm, we advise you to wear it with layer 2 only in very cold weather.
How do you prevent snow from falling in?
The snow skirt is a waist protection system that snaps onto the bottom of the ski jacket. The snow skirt, together with the adjustable sleeve cuffs, prevents snow and air from entering the jacket during practice, particularly in the event of a fall.
How do I wash my jacket?
* Close all down jacket zips
* Turn the down jacket inside out
* Machine wash at 30°, on a gentle program with little detergent and no fabric softener.
IMPORTANT: set the spin speed to very gentle (less than 800 rpm): spinning too hard may create feather balls that are difficult to remove
* Add 2 clean, ideally white, tennis balls to the washing machine drum.
* A second or third rinse to remove any remaining detergent from the previous wash.
How do I dry my jacket?
Tumble-dry (highly recommended)
* Gentle or delicate program.
* Use several long cycles to dry thoroughly.
* Between 2 cycles, pat the down to separate the feather balls that have formed in the wash.
If you don't have a tumble-dryer, the process takes longer (drying can take 1 to 2 weeks in a dry, flat place). Be sure to pat the jacket to avoid featherballs (at least 4/5 times).
Where do the feathers come from?
Our traceability system enables us to guarantee the origin of the feathers, in line with our commitment to materials. Our suppliers are committed to using only feathers from ducks raised for their meat and plucked after slaughter.
