Men's Ski Jacket - FR500

Warmth and breathability technology

Positioned warm pads provide good thermal protection for your Freeride skiing days.This concept means you keep a wide area where the 3 layer can wick away your perspiration.A perfect compromise between a completely padded jacket and 3 layer jacket with no extra warmth.Modularity is the key word for this jacket. It's important to add a warmer or cooler second layer depending on the conditions.,

Additional features

Helmet hood designed to offer maximum protection with freedom of movement.Adjustable to fit 3 sizes in a single movement, using a tightening system located behind the head.Tightening on the wrist and cuffs with thumb loop to prevent air and snow from getting in.Snow skirt that also reduces draughts and prevents snow from getting inside.,

Ventilation

To stay dry, it is important to wear a waterproof jacket. But you shouldn't end up wet with perspiration.The vents play an important role in wicking away perspiration.This is why we have equipped this jacket with two zipped air vents with two large zipped under the arms (35 cm in size L).,

Cut

The loose fit and preformed sleeves free up your movements and let you ski in complete freedom.We designed this jacket with a component that has mechanical stretch. You can move freely while skiing.,

Pockets

2 hand pockets with a waterproof zip.1 inside chest pocket with watertight zip.1 outer chest pocket with watertight zip.1 pocket on the left pocket for your skipass with watertight zip.1 quick access inner mesh pocket.,

What should you wear under your skiing jacket?

To keep warm and dry, use the 3-breathable-layers ruleA ski base later and a second layer liner jacket to retain warmth, a third layer ski jacket to protect you from bad weather.The base layer keeps you dry by wicking away the perspiration from the skin to the other layers.The second layer provides warmth. Such as padded jackets or fleece sweaters.,

The third layer

This layer provides protection from the outdoor elements (snow, rain and wind) by keeping them out (while still letting perspiration escape from inside so you don't feel wet). It should therefore ideally be waterproof AND breathable. The third layer (or layer 3) can also provide insulation in the case of lined trousers or jacket and complement the second layer (or layer 2).,

Water repellency

Water-repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged and remains light, breathable and warm. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes). All Wedze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.,

Component waterproofing

The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A fabric with a waterproof rating of 10000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 10000 mm column of water,0

Breathability of a component

The component of this jacket has a RET of 12.To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity can escape and the higher the fabric's breathability.For exampleRET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabricRET > 20 = little or no breathability.,1

What is a or coated component?

The coating is akin to a paint applied inside the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less expensive than a and requires a liner to protect it. The is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more resistant and often more breathable than a coating.,2

How do we make a garment waterproof?

The waterproof properties of the garment are related to its fabric, seam sealing and assembly design.We then carry out shower tests on our garments.,3

Waterproofness/Shower test

This garment has been validated in a shower test under 100 L of water / sqm / hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain storm.,4

How do we make a garment breathable?

In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we employ technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh, etc.) improving the overall ventilation of our jackets and trousers designed for Freeride skiing. These ventilation systems regulate the temperature inside the garment while also helping to eliminate the perspiration generated by the body during physical activity.,5

Your product is repairable

This product is repairable.We commit to repairing your product free of charge for the duration of the warranty. Whatever it is, fixings, seams, zips, etc. This service is offered in your usual store.If, however, we can't repair your product (non-repairable production defect), you can exchange it or get a refund.,6

What is the RECCOآ® system?

All our freeride ski jackets and trousers are equipped with the RECCOآ® system.With RECCOآ® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. Someone who is buried in the snow can be quickly and accurately located by the emergency services using the RECCOآ® tracker and reflectors. RECCOآ® reflectors are not a substitute for an AVD. The RECCOآ® technology works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time.,7
