Men's Downhill Ski Jacket 180

We use recycled padding (2.1 oz/sqm on the arms and 3.5 oz/sqm on the body) for insulation to help keep you warm. This synthetic polyester-based padding traps more or less air, depending on the size of its fibers, to insulate you from the cold.

In addition to the padding of your jacket, the partially taped seams, the sleeve adjustment and the collar offer even more insulation from the cold and wet, for a greater feeling of warmth.

The coating is a waterproofing material spread over the inner surface of a fabric. It prevents water from seeping into the garment but allows the water vapor produced by the body's physical activity to escape. So you stay dry for greater comfort while practicing your sport.

The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is expressed in terms of the height in mm of a water column that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a water resistance of 3,000 mm therefore withstands the pressure exerted by 3,000 mm of water.

The 180 jacket was rigorously developed and assembled to stop water from getting in and to prevent wind chill, so you can brave bad weather on the slopes (rain, snow, wind, etc). We have checked the watertightness of this product in practice during different weather conditions over several days.

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to allow water to run off its surface without seeping in. This jacket features water-repellent components that extend its weather resistance. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface. However, this property may deteriorate with use.

Remember that water repellency can be restored. To do this, put the jacket in the dryer on a synthetic program for 10 to 15 minutes. You can also use a waterproofing spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly over the entire garment, then allow to dry for 10 to 12 hours).

This is a product that can release the water vapor produced by your body when exercising. To see if a fabric is breathable, we measure its resistance to evaporative heat (RET) in a standardized ISO 11092 test. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. The 180 jacket has an RET of 9. However, it is the technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) that Wed'ze uses that limit the condensation inside the garment and maximize breathability.

Regular fit. The jacket has sides that fall straight and remain parallel rather than trying to follow the shape of your body. The interior volume enables this jacket to be worn in combination with a first and second technical layer.

To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-technical-layer rule: layer 1 or second skin, to stay dry. Layer 2 or the insulating layer, to keep the heat in. Layer 3 or the protective layer, to protect against bad weather.

The adjustable jacket hem and the elasticated cuffs help to prevent snow and drafts from getting in during practice and particularly in case of a fall.

The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifecycle using different indicators. An overall ABCDE rating is given to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing and contrasting products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon actively promotes this environmental rating initiative. For more information: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/

Imported

All Wedze products are conceived, designed and developed in the Mont Blanc Valley. They are then tested under the same conditions as you would experience in real-life use (snow, cold, powder snow, etc). The design teams make sure that the cycle for which the product is designed and developed corresponds perfectly to its use in the field.

Store on a hanger and do not fold, as this can damage the fabric coating. Dry thoroughly before storing in a dry and well-ventilated place.
