Which filling will keep my jacket warm?
To make this jacket 100% stretchable, we used stretch wadding that doesn't tear (60g/m²). However, wadding that tears creates a "cold bridge" in this area.
The same wadding is used in the under-jacket. We didn't include any on the chest to let in cool air when the ventilation zips are open. The same goes for the back, where we've prioritized moisture transfer to the outside.
Which components added to the filling keep you warm?
In addition to your jacket's padding, the muffs, snow skirt, waterproof zips, stand-up collar and hood adjustment allow warm air to stay inside and prevent cold air from entering.
What is a membrane and what is it used for?
The membrane is a very thin component applied to the inside of the outer fabric. Hydrophilic, it blocks water coming from the outside and also evacuates perspiration produced by the body from the inside. To stay warm and dry, a membrane is a must.
How is waterproofness measured?
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. The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric: a component with a waterproof rating of 12,000mm will therefore withstand the pressure exerted by 12,000mm of water.
What parts of the jacket protect me from the elements?
The 980 jacket has been developed with a rigorous component and assembly that blocks the passage of water and limits the sensation of wind, to help you cope with the elements (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To validate its waterproofness, this jacket was placed under a special shower reproducing the conditions a skier would encounter. We validated the waterproofness of this product in practice over several days in different weather conditions.
What is the purpose of water-repellent jackets?
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. This jacket is equipped with water-repellent components that prolong its resistance to the elements. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but in use these properties can be altered.
How do you reactivate the water-repellency of your jacket?
Note that the water-repellency can be reactivated. To do this, tumble-dry the jacket on the synthetic program for 10 to 15 minutes.
You can also use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly all over the garment, then leave to dry for 10 to 12 hours.)
What does a "breathable" jacket mean?
It's a product that lets the water vapor produced by your body during exercise escape. To determine whether a fabric is breathable, its evaporative resistance (RET) is measured in an ISO 11092 standard test. The lower the RET value, the more breathable the fabric. The 980 jacket has an RET of 8. However, it's the technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh) used by Wedze that limit condensation inside the garment and maximize breathability.
Easy to find
The 980 jacket features a Recco system on the back of the collar to facilitate avalanche search.
What is the cut of the 980 jacket?
Slim fit. The jacket and undershirt are cut close to the body to promote aerodynamics. 100% stretchable, they can nevertheless accommodate different body shapes.
How should you dress to stay warm on the slopes?
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 you prevent snow from falling in?
The snow skirt is a waist protection system that snaps onto the bottom of the ski jacket. The snow skirt, together with the adjustable sleeve cuffs, prevents snow and air from entering the jacket during practice, particularly in the event of a fall.
