Product information
This product has been designed to be as airtight as possible, which is why we have decided to offer you dungarees.
We have added a stretch component around the belly to ensure fluidity and limit the need for overlapping waistbands (underwear, elastic pants, skirts in the snow...).
Additional functions
Large side zip with a special shoulder strap assembly for the women's model, to guarantee a wide rear opening when you go to the toilet, without touching the shoulder straps.
No more hassles leaving the layer 2 jacket to go to the toilet.
Edge reinforcements in ultra-resistant material.
Large side ventilation zip.
Adjustable shoulder straps.
Pockets
Three pockets: two thigh pockets secured with waterproof zips, one of which has a mesh pocket for a cell phone.
A large chest pocket that can potentially hold your avalanche transceiver.
Cut
Pre-formed knees provide freedom of movement.
We designed these pants with 2 components. One for fluidity and freedom of movement, the other for abrasion resistance.
What should I wear under my ski pants?
To stay warm and dry, apply the rule of 2 or 3 breathable layers.
In mild weather, a breathable ski undergarment will be perfect to provide comfort, a little warmth and good perspiration transfer.
If it's a little colder, our FR900 underpants will be perfect to provide a little more warmth and especially warmth in the right places.
In colder weather, you can combine the two layers, while maintaining good breathability.
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
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 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?
Coating is like a paint applied to the inside of the fabric, making the component waterproof yet breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane, and requires a lining to protect it. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes 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, seam sealing and assembly design.
Then we carry out shower tests on our garments.
Waterproofing / Shower test
This garment has been validated in a shower test under 100 l 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 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.
