Wedze 500 Downhill Ski Pants Women's

Main fabric: 94.4% Polyester, 5.6% Elastane ; Lining: 100.0% Polyester ; Membrane/coating: 100.0% Polyurethane

By recycling [plastic bottles or partially recycled fabrics] to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of petrol-based resources while keeping the material's breathability in practice.

The membrane is a very thin 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 essential when it comes to staying warm and dry.

These pants were rigorously developed and assembled to stop water from getting in and to prevent wind chill, so you can brave the bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To check its water-resistance, these pants was placed under a special shower, to reproduce the conditions faced by a skier. We have checked the waterproofness of this product when skiing in various conditions over several days.

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. These pants feature water-repellent components that extend their weather resistance. 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 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, then allow 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 500 pants have a RET of 6. However, it is the technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) that Wed'ze uses, which 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.

Our pants have elasticated gaiters at the bottom that cover the shoes. If you fall or are in contact with fresh snow, the seal created by the gaiter keeps the snow out.

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

All Wed'ze products are created, 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 matches perfectly with 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.
