Men's Ski Jacket 700

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 material containing polyester stores more or less air, depending on the size of the fibers, to protect you from the cold.

In addition to its filling, your jacket's waterproof zippers, snow skirt, collar and adjustable hood and cuffs offer better protection against the cold for a warmer feeling.

The membrane is a very fine component applied to the inner surface of the outer fabric. This hydrophilic component prevents water from seeping in while wicking away the perspiration produced by the body. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to staying warm and dry.

We measure a fabric's resistance to a water column, in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a water resistance of 8,000 mm therefore withstands the pressure exerted by 8,000 mm of water.

The 580 jacket has been developed with extremely sturdy fabric and assembly that prevent water getting in and reduce the sensation of wind to better help you face bad weather (rain, snow, wind). To check that it is waterproof, this jacket was placed in a special shower reproducing the conditions a skier has to cope with. 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 make 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.

Did you know that water-repellent properties can be reactivated? To do so, dry the jacket in a tumble dryer on a synthetic cycle 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 let it dry for 10-12 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 580 jacket has an RET of 11. However, it is the technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) that Wedze 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 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 snow skirt is a protection system at waist level that closes with press studs at the bottom of the ski jacket. The snow skirt (which is automatic), as well as the adjustable cuffs, prevent the entry of snow and drafts during practice and especially in case of a fall.

The product's environmental footprint is calculated for its entire life 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 data of its products.

This insert made of a soft and very absorbent high-tech fabric effectively wipes water drops from your ski goggles without scratching the lenses.

You no longer need to get your ski pass out because your sleeve has a ski pass pocket to allow you to access the cable cars quickly.

The snow skirt is a protection system at waist level that closes with press snaps at the bottom of the ski or snowboard jacket. It prevents snow and air from entering during practice and especially in case of falling.

The jacket features an Audio output in the inside pocket for passing a hands-free phone kit, audio cable for listening to music, etc.

To optimize your jacket's performance and durability, we advise the following: Machine wash separately at 86°F. Synthetic cycle. Turn inside out. Use a small amount of detergent. No softener. Wring out manually. Dry on a hanger in a warm, well-ventilated place. Do not dry clean. Do not place on a radiator. You can re-waterproof the outer fabric using an aerosol waterproofing spray for fabric. Read the care tag carefully.

Imported

All Wed'ze products are designed and developed in the Mont Blanc Valley. They are then tested under identical usage conditions to those you will encounter yourself (in the snow, cold and powder snow, etc.). The design teams make sure the program for which the product is designed and developed tallies perfectly with its real-world use.

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