Main Material

A hood you can tighten in one move. The hood moves with your head without getting in the way. It is compatible with helmets.
The preformed hood has a high collar to protect your face in intense cold or strong winds. The micro-perforated zipper flap makes breathing easier while keeping your face protected.

3D hood

Wide, adjustable cuffs cover your gloves to protect you from snow and keep you warm and dry. Elastane cuffs with a thumb loop provide a perfect seal between your gloves and the jacket.

Cuffs

To stay dry, it is important to wear a waterproof jacket. But you shouldn’t end up soaked with sweat.
Vents play a key role in wicking away perspiration.
This is why this jacket has 3 ventilation zippers: two large zippers under the arms (35 cm/13.78“ in size L). The ventilation zipper in front can be opened and closed very quickly.

Ventilation

- 2 hand pockets with a waterproof zipper.
- 1 inside chest pocket with a watertight zipper.
- 1 outside chest pocket with a watertight zipper.
- 1 pocket on the left shoulder with a watertight zipper, for your ski pass.
- 2 inside quick-access mesh pockets.

The wide fit and pre-shaped sleeves let you move so you can ski freely.
This jacket has two components: one to guarantee freedom of movement, and the other for resistance to abrasion.

To stay warm and dry, use the 3-layer rule:1 skiing base layer, 1 intermediate layer liner jacket to retain warmth, and 1 outer layer ski jacket to protect you from the elements.
Keeps you dry by wicking perspiration from the skin to the other layers.
The second layer, such as a down jacket or fleece sweater, provides warmth.

What should you wear under your ski jacket?

Keeps the elements out while allowing perspiration to escape, preventing condensation. Ideally, it should be waterproof and breathable. The third layer can also provide insulation, in the case of lined pants or jackets. This complements the properties of the second layer.

The third layer

The snow skirt is a protection system at waist level that closes with snaps at the bottom of a ski or snowboard jacket. It blocks snow and drafts, especially in the event of a fall. It can be fastened to pants using the three loops with snaps.

Keeping snow out if you fall

A fabric’s water repellency is its ability to make water bead off its surface without being absorbed. This helps the fabric stay light, breathable, and warm. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied during the life of the garment (recommended every three washes). All Wedze jackets are treated for water repellency.

Water repellency

A fabric’s water resistance is measured by the height of a water column in mm it can support (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more watertight the fabric. Waterproof material with a rating of 15,000 mm withstands the pressure exerted by a 15,000 mm column of water, roughly equivalent to a two-hour shower.

Component waterproofing

To determine a fabric’s breathability, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more perspiration can escape, and the higher the fabric’s breathability.  For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric/9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric/12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric/RET > 20 = little or no breathability.

The coating is like paint applied to the inside of the fabric, which makes it waterproof yet breathable.A membrane is a very thin plastic (polyurethane) film that makes the material waterproof while remaining breathable. Flexible, lighter, and more durable than a coating, it is often also more breathable.

What is a membrane or coating?

A garment’s waterproofness depends on its fabric, seam sealing, and design.
Then shower tests are conducted.

How do we make a garment waterproof?

This garment was shower-tested under 100 L of water/m²/hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy storm.

Waterproofness/shower test

In addition to breathable materials, other technical features (zippers, vents, mesh) improve the overall ventilation of our ski jackets and pants. These ventilation features regulate the temperature inside the garment and help to eliminate perspiration.

All our freeride jackets and pants are equipped with the Recco® system.
With Recco® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. Anyone buried in the snow equipped with Recco® reflectors can be quickly and accurately located by emergency services using the Recco® tracker. Recco® reflectors are not a substitute for an avalanche beacon. Recco® technology works as an additional safeguard, increasing the chances of being found in time.

What is the Recco® system?

Follow these instructions at every washing to preserve all the technical features.
  After three washes, restore the water-repellent properties with a waterproof spray or wash-in product.
