We take great care in selecting all the components and assemblies that go to make up our ski and snowboard jackets, to guarantee the best possible resistance.
Am I sure my jacket will protect me from the elements?
To enable you to cope with the elements (rain, snow, wind, etc.), the jacket has been developed with a component and assembly that blocks the passage of water and limits the sensation of wind. To validate waterproofing, this product was placed under a specially designed shower, reproducing the conditions encountered by a snowboarder in the field. Finally, we carried out several days of snowboarding in all conditions to validate the product's waterproofness.
Water often gets in through the seams. Does my jacket have taped seams?
In addition to the waterproof fabric, we reinforce the waterproofness of the jacket with waterproof seams. These are heat-glued, waterproof strips affixed to the seams inside the garment to make it perfectly watertight. For this product, these waterproof seams are present on the areas most exposed to snow (hoods, shoulders).
Why is my jacket water-repellent?
The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it, thanks to a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. The fabric does not absorb water, and remains light and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the life of the product, after an average of 2 to 3 washes, using products available in our stores. All the waterproof jackets we offer snowboarders are water-repellent.
Coated" jacket: what are the advantages of coating?
A breathable coating consists of coating a textile support with a paste or liquid to create a protective film. A breathable coating is an impermeable barrier that allows water vapor emitted by the body during snowboarding to pass through.
How does my jacket keep me warm?
To keep you warm, we use wadding insulation. Wadding is a synthetic polyester-based component that stores more or less air, depending on the size of the fibers. There are standard, technical and siliconized wadding products with different properties (warmth, lightness, elasticity, etc.).
How should I dress to keep warm in the mountains?
To stay warm and dry, simply apply the 3-layer rule:
- Layer 1 or second skin, to stay dry.
- Layer 2 or insulating layer, to retain heat.
- Layer 3 or protective layer, to protect from the elements.
How do I wash my jacket?
To optimize the performance and durability of your jacket, we recommend:
* Machine wash at 30°, synthetic program.
* Turn inside out.
* Use very little detergent, no fabric softener. Do not use fabric softener.
* Manual spin-drying recommended.
* Hang to dry in a warm, well-ventilated place.
Do not dry-clean. Do not place on radiator.
Outer fabric can be waterproofed using a textile waterproofing spray. Read care label.
Why are the waterproof values on the Internet and those printed on the jacket different?
We've designed our jacket with a technical coating that guarantees 10000 mm waterproofness at the time of purchase. All coatings lose their effectiveness after each wash, which is why we also test the product to guarantee optimum waterproofing even after 5 washes. It's this value after 5 washes that's printed on the jacket, so that the information will be true even years from now when you resell your product.
