3D hood and face protection
Wedze has integrated a 3D hood with automatic tightening into this ski jacket. It follows your head's movements without getting in the way, for better protection against bad weather. It is helmet-compatible. The hood is preformed with a high collar to protect your face in extreme cold or windy conditions. The zipper flap is micro-perforated to facilitate breathing while protecting the face.
Hermeticity
AT THE SLEEVE:
Wide, adjustable sleeves designed to go over gloves. Elastane sleeves ensure perfect hermeticity at the glove/jacket junction.
AT THE SIZE:
The snow skirt closes with snaps at the bottom of the jacket. It prevents snow and air from entering during practice, particularly in the event of a fall. Ideally combined with the BIB PROTECT overalls, little freeriders will be well protected.
Integrated removable under-jacket
70g/m² wadding on back and chest for good insulation. Ergonomic cut. Arm panels for warmth and freedom of movement. Two breathable side panels ensure good ventilation. Wadded collar and hood for neck comfort. The little extra: 2 side pockets!
Water-repellent
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. Our freeride jackets are equipped with water-repellent components that prolong their resistance to bad weather. It's an additional technical solution for staying as dry as possible for as long as possible! You need to renew this treatment regularly with products sold in our stores to maintain this performance.
Component impermeability
The resistance of a fabric 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 10,000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 10,000 mm of water.
Component breathability
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance-évaporative, appelée RET (test normé ISO 11092). C’est la capacité de la veste de ski à laisser échapper vers l’extérieur la vapeur d’eau produite par le corps pendant l’effort afin de rester au sec. Plus la valeur de RET est faible, plus le tissu 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
How do you make a waterproof garment?
A garment's waterproofness is linked to its component, the waterproofness of its seams, and the design of its assembly.
The use of waterproof zips or the installation of flaps on zips (covering zips with a flap of waterproof fabric).
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.
What's the difference between membrane and coating?
This freeride jacket is equipped with a membrane: a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof yet breathable. It has the advantage of being flexible, light, resistant and often more breathable than coating, which is like paint applied to the inside of the fabric. It makes the component waterproof yet breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane and requires a lining to protect it.
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?
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 rescue workers 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. 100% of our Freeride jackets and pants are equipped with the RECCO system.
How to wash your waterproof garment
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.
Payment in 3 instalments is possible from a basket value of CHF 50 and requires the approval of our partner CembraPay. You will be able to choose this method of payment, and consult the terms and conditions and applicable fees when finalizing your order.
