Wedze 180, Ski Jacket, Men's

To help keep you warm, we use recycled padding insulation (2.1 oz/m² on the arms and 3.5 oz/m² on the body). This synthetic polyester-based fill traps more or less air, depending on the size of its fibers, in order to insulate you from the cold.

By recycling [bottles made of plastic or partly recycled textiles] to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of fossil fuel resources while preserving the material's breathability in use.

Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce this environmental impact, we opted for a bulk dyeing process that involves adding the color pigments when the yarn itself is being produced.

As well as its filling, your jacket's partially taped seams, collar and cuff tightening offer better protection against the cold and damp for a warmer feeling.

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 fabric with a waterproof rating of 3,000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 3,000 mm column of water.

The 180 jacket has been developed with a sophisticated component and assembly that prevent water from entering and reduce wind chill to help you cope with the weather conditions (rain, snow, wind, etc.). We validated the waterproofing of this product in the field in various weather conditions for several days.

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. 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.

Bear in mind that the water-repellent feature can be reactivated. To do this, put the jacket in the dryer on a synthetic cycle for 10 to 15 minutes. You can also use a waterproofing spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly over the entire garment and allow to dry for 10 to 12 hours.

This garment wicks away the water vapor produced by your body when exercising. To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its total evaporative resistance RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. The 180 jacket has an RET of 9. However, it's the technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) Wed’ze uses that reduce the condensation inside the garment and maximize breathability.

Regular fit. The sides of the jacket hang down straight and remain parallel without conforming to the shape of your bust. The interior volume means this jacket can be worn in combination with a 1st and 2nd technical layer.

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

The adjustable jacket hem and elastic sleeve cuffs keep out snow and drafts while skiing, and especially in case of a fall.

The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifecycle using different 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.

Imported

All Wed'ze products are created, 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.
