FR 900, Ski and Snowboard Bib, Women's

This product is designed for maximum airtightness, which is why we decided to offer you bibs. Around the waist, we have added a stretch component that enables great fluidity and limits waistband overlap in the midsection (underwear, base layer, pants elastic, snow skirt, etc)

Large side zipper with special strap fitting on the women's model, to create a wide opening at the back for when you go to the toilet, no need to touch the straps. No more trouble taking off your layer 2 jacket to go to the toilet. Edge reinforced in an ultra-resistant material Large side zipper for ventilation. Adjustable straps

3 pockets. 2 pockets on the thighs secured with waterproof zippers. Including 1 with a mesh pocket for a mobile phone. A large center front pocket that can be used for your AVD.

The pre-formed knees free movements We have designed these pants with 2 components. To guarantee good fluidity and freedom of movement, as well as resistance to abrasion.

To keep warm and dry, use the 2 or 3 breathable-layers rule. In warmer weather, 1 breathable ski base layer will be perfect to provide comfort, a bit of warmth, and good perspiration wicking. If it is a bit colder, our undershorts FR900 will be perfect to provide a bit more warmth in the right places. In colder weather, you can combine several layers, while retaining good breathability

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to enable water to run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged and remains light, breathable, and warm. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes). All Wedze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.

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. For example, a fabric with a waterproof rating of 15,000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 15,000 mm column of water

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 vapor generated by physical activity 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 akin to a paint applied inside the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane and requires a liner to protect it. The membrane 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 durable, and often more breathable than a coating.

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.

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 violent storm in the mountains.

In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we employ technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) to improve the overall ventilation of our jackets and pants 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.

The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifespan, using various indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks etc.). Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products. For more information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/

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. Someone who is equipped with RECCO® reflectors and is buried in the snow can be quickly and accurately located by the emergency services using the RECCO® tracker. RECCO® reflectors are not a substitute for an AVD. The RECCO® technology works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time.

We recommend that you follow these guidelines at every wash in order to retain all the technical features of your garment. Link: https://youtu.be/rh4GLwALgBM After 3 washes, restore the water-repellent properties with a waterproof spray or wash-in product.

Imported

Our team of designers is based at the foot of the Mont-Blanc, near many ski resorts in Haute-Savoie (France). All year round, we create and develop products that are simple and technologically advanced. These are then ruthlessly tested in the field, because we believe that the only way to continuously improve our products is to test them under the real-life conditions that you will experience in use.

Dry this waterproof protective garment thoroughly before storing it.
