What components keep my pants warm?
To make these pants 100% stretchable, we used stretch wadding that doesn't tear (60g/m²). However, wadding that tears creates a "cold bridge" in this area.
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 the waterproofness of my pants 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. A component with a water resistance of 12,000mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 12,000mm of water.
How can I be sure that my pants will protect me from the elements?
These pants have been developed with a rigorous component and assembly design 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, these pants were placed under a special shower, reproducing the conditions a skier would encounter. We validated the waterproofness of this product by skiing in different conditions for several days.
What are the water-repellent properties of my pants?
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. These pants are equipped with water-repellent components that prolong their 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 I reactivate the water repellency of my pants?
It's important to note that the water-repellency can be reactivated. To do this, tumble-dry the pants on the synthetic program for 10 to 15 minutes.
You can also use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly all over the garment, then leave to dry for 10 to 12 hours.)
What do "breathable" pants 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 standard test. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric. The 980 pants have a RET of 8. However, it's the technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh) used by Wedze that limit condensation inside the garment and maximize breathability.
How should I dress to keep my legs warm on the slopes?
To keep your legs warm and dry, you need 2 layers:
- 1 pair of ski underwear to wick away perspiration.
- 1 pair of ski pants to protect you from the elements and keep you warm.
How can I prevent snow from getting into my pants?
Our pants feature elasticated gaiters at the bottom of the legs which cover the boots. In the event of a fall or contact with fresh snow, the hermeticity of the gaiter prevents snow from entering.
What is the cut of the 980 pants?
Slim fit with plenty of room for technical undergarments.
