180, Ski Pants, Men's

To help keep you warm, we use recycled insulation (60 g/m²). This synthetic polyester-based padding traps more or less air, depending on the size of its fibers, to insulate you from the cold.

By recycling plastic bottles or textiles to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of petroleum-based resources while keeping the material's breathability in practice.

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.

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 is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Components with a 3,000 mm rating can withstand the pressure of a 3,000 mm column of water (which is equivalent to a rain shower lasting 2 hours).

These pants have been developed using a robust component and rigorous assembly that limit wind chill and prevent the passage of water to help you brave all weather (rain, snow, wind, etc). To check their water-resistance, the pants were placed under a special shower, to reproduce the conditions faced by a skier. We have checked the waterproofness of this product in use in various 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. These pants feature water-repellent components to improve their resistance to bad weather. 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 pants in the tumble dryer on a synthetics 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 and leave it to dry for 10 to 12 hours.

This garment wicks away the water vapor produced by your body when exercising. To see if a fabric is breathable, its resistance to evaporative heat (RET) is measured in a standardized ISO 11092 test. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. The 150 pants have an RET of 13. However, it's the technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) Wedze uses that reduce the condensation inside the garment and maximize breathability.

To keep your legs warm and dry, 2 layers of clothing are enough: - 1 ski base layer to wick away perspiration. - 1 ski pant to protect against bad weather and provide warmth.

The pants have elasticated gaiters at the ankles to cover the boots. If you fall or come into contact with fresh snow, the seal created by the gaiter keeps the snow out.

Regular fit with an internal volume that allows these pants to be combined with a technical base layer.

To optimize the performance and durability of your pants, we recommend: * Machine wash at 86°F, synthetics cycle. * Turn the product inside out. * Add a small amount of detergent. No fabric softener. * We recommend you wring it by hand. * Dry on a hanger in a warm, well-ventilated place. Do not dry-clean. Do not place on a radiator.

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire lifecycle and using various indicators. An overall ABCDE score is given to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.). Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products. 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 program for which the product is designed and developed, perfectly matches 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.
