Warmth and breathability concept
Warmth pads have been placed to give you good thermal protection during your freeride skiing days.
This concept keeps large zones where the 3-layer membrane component can best evacuate your perspiration.
A perfect compromise between a fully wadded jacket and a 3-layer jacket without any warmth contribution.
Modularity is the key word for this jacket. So it's important to include a layer 2 that's warmer or cooler depending on conditions.
Additional functions
Hood over helmet designed to give you maximum protection, while maintaining your freedom of movement.
Adjustable in 3 dimensions in a single movement, thanks to a tightening system located behind the head.
Wrist tightening and thumb cuffs to limit air and snow ingress.
Snow skirt also to limit air and snow ingress.
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 wicking away perspiration.
That's why we've equipped this jacket with 2 ventilation zips, two large zips under the arms (35cm in size L).
Cut
The loose fit and preformed sleeves are there to free your movements and allow you to ski in complete freedom.
We designed this jacket with a component that features mechanical stretch. You'll be able to move freely as you ski.
Pockets
2 hand pockets with watertight zip.
1 inside breast pocket with watertight zip.
1 outside breast pocket with watertight zip.
1 pocket on left shoulder for ski pass with watertight zip.
1 inside net pocket with quick access.
What should I wear under my ski jacket?
To stay warm and dry, apply the 3-layer rule:
ski underwear and an undershirt layer 2 to keep warm, a ski jacket layer 3 to protect against the elements.
Layer 1 keeps you dry by transferring perspiration from your skin to the other layers.
Layer 2 provides warmth. This is the case with down jackets or fleece pullovers.
The third layer
This layer protects against the outside elements (snow, rain and wind) by keeping them out (while still allowing perspiration to escape, so you don't get "wet from the inside"). So, ideally, it's waterproof AND breathable. The third layer (or layer 3) can also help insulate lined pants or jackets, thus complementing the action of the second layer (or layer 2).
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 10,000 mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 10,000 mm of water.
Component breathability
Le composant de cette veste a un RET à 12.
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 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. RECCO® technology is complementary in function, but increases the chances of being found in time.
Washing your waterproof garment tutorial
We advise you to follow this protocol every time you wash your garment, in order to preserve all its technical characteristics.

After three washes, we recommend reactivating the water-repellency by spray or impregnation treatment.
