Men's Ski Jacket First Heat

To help keep you warm, we use recycled padding insulation (3.5 oz/m² on the arms and 5.3 oz/m² on the body). 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 sealed 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 substance spread over the inside 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. You stay dry and more comfortable during your sporting activity.

We measure a fabric's resistance to a column of water expressed in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A fabric with a waterproof rating of 5000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 5000 mm column of water.

The 100 jacket was rigorously developed and assembled to prevent water from entering and reduce wind chill so that you can cope with bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.). We have checked the waterproofness of this product in use in various weather conditions over several days.

A fabric is water-repellent when it allows water to slide over its surface without seeping in. This jacket features water-repellent components that extend its resistance to bad weather. 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 synthetics program for 10 to 15 minutes. You can also use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly over the entire garment, then allow to dry for 10 to 12 hours).

It's a garment that is capable of wicking away 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 100 jacket has an RET of 12. However it is the technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) that Wedze uses, which limit the condensation inside the garment and maximize breathability.

Regular fit. The jacket has sides that fall straight and remain parallel without trying to follow the shape of the bust. The interior volume means this jacket can 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 product's environmental footprint 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, rucksacks, etc.) Decathlon actively promotes this environmental rating system.

Imported

All Wedze products are 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.
