Skiing Salopettes with Built-in Back Protector Bib Protect Freeride 900

This is the biggest benefit of these Freeride salopettes. This back protector is compliant with PPE standards. It is made of soft PU foam to not hinder movements and it has micro-perforations for good back ventilation. As it slots into the salopettes, it stays securely in position whatever the situation. At last, a solution to having a back protector that keeps coming out of the pants or one that is poorly positioned! When washing the salopettes, simply remove it beforehand.

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to allow water to run off its surface without seeping in. Our FREERIDE pants and salopettes are equipped with water-repellent components that prolong their resistance to the weather. This is an additional technical solution for staying dry for as long as possible! Regularly restore this treatment using the products sold in our stores to maintain these properties.

These pants have a membrane. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the benefit of being more flexible, lightweight, durable and often more breathable than a coating, which is similar to having a layer of paint applied to the inside the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane and requires a lining for protection.

A component with a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by a 10,000 mm column of water. In addition to the waterproof fabric, the waterproofing of these salopettes is enhanced with taped seams. These are waterproof adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight.

With each wash, we recommend that you follow the protocol in the video below to preserve all the technical features of your garment.

To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its total evaporative resistance RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). This is the capacity of the ski jacket to allow the water vapor produced by the body to escape during physical activity so that you stay dry. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability

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 avalanche beacon. The RECCO technology works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time. All our Freeride jackets and pants are equipped with the RECCO system.

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.

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.
