Ventilation
To stay dry, it's important to have a waterproof jacket. But you don't want to get wet from sweating.
Ventilation plays an important role in the evacuation of perspiration.
That's why we've added two ventilation zips along the thighs (20cm in size L).
Cut
The loose fit is there to free your movements and let you ski in total freedom.
We designed these pants with a component that features mechanical stretch. So you're always free to move!
What should I wear under these ski pants?
To stay warm and dry, apply the 3-layer rule: a ski undergarment with varying degrees of warmth to protect you from the elements.
Water-repellent
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. This means the fabric doesn't become waterlogged, remaining light, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes). All Wedze jackets are water-repellent.
Component impermeability
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on ISO 811). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 15,000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 15,000 mm of water.
Component breathability
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (test basé sur la norme ISO 11092). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s’échapper la vapeur d'eau générée par le corps en activité et plus il est respirant.
Par exemple :
RET < 9 = tissu extrêmement respirant
9 < RET < 12 = tissu très respirant
12 < RET < 20 = tissu respirant
RET > 20 = tissu peu ou pas respirant.
What is a membraned or coated component?
The coating is like a paint applied to the inside of the fabric, making the component waterproof yet breathable. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that requires a lining to protect it and make the component waterproof yet breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more resistant and often more breathable than coating.
How do you make a waterproof garment?
A garment's waterproofness is linked to its component, the waterproofness of the seams and the design of the assembly.
Then we carry out shower tests on our garments.
Waterproofing / Shower test
This garment has been validated in a shower test under 100L of water/m²/hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain storm.
How do you make a breathable garment?
In addition to the breathability of our fabrics, we use technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh, etc.) to improve the overall ventilation of our jackets and pants designed for freeride skiing. These ventilation systems both regulate the temperature inside the garment and facilitate the evacuation of perspiration generated by the body during exercise.
Your product is repairable
This product is repairable.
During the warranty period, we will repair your product free of charge. Whether it's snags, seams, zips, etc. These solutions will be proposed to you in your usual store.
If, however, we are unable to repair your product (non-repairable production defect), you will be able to exchange it or have it refunded.
What is the RECCO® System?
100% of our freeride ski jackets and pants are equipped with the RECCO® system.
With RECCO® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche accident. Equipped with RECCO® reflectors, a buried person can be located quickly and accurately by the rescue services using the RECCO® detector. RECCO® reflectors do not replace the use of a avalanche beacon. Complementary in function, RECCO® technology increases the chances of being found in time.
Washing your waterproof garment tutorial
We recommend that you follow this protocol every time you wash your garment, to ensure that it retains all its technical characteristics.

After three washes, we recommend that you reactivate the water-repellent properties with a spray or impregnation treatment.
