Additional functions
Hood over helmet designed for maximum protection, while maintaining freedom of movement.
Adjustable in 3 dimensions in a single movement, thanks to a single tightening tanka located behind the head.
Wrist and sleeve tightening to limit air and snow ingress.
Jacket bottom and snow skirt tightening to limit air and snow ingress.
Water-repellent
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it. As a result, the fabric doesn't become waterlogged, remaining light, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. This treatment needs to be reactivated during the life of the garment, when you wash it several times.
All Wedze jackets are water-repellent.
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 5000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 5000 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 components, seam sealing and assembly design.
The use of waterproof ZIPs or flaps over zips (covering zips with a flap of waterproof fabric).
Waterproofing / Shower test
This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 l of water / m² / hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a mountain shower.
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 organized rescue teams using the RECCO® detector. RECCO® reflectors do not replace the use of a avalanche beacon. While 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.
