Wedze FR100, Freeride Ski Jacket, Women’s

Hood over helmet designed to offer maximum protection ensuring freedom of movement. Adjustable to fit 3 sizes in a single movement, using a single tightening toggle located behind the head. Tightening on the wrist and cuffs to prevent air and snow from getting in. Tightening at the bottom of the jacket and snow skirt to also prevent air and snow from getting in.

This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 L of water / sqm / hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.

Water-repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged and remains light, breathable and warm. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be reactivated during the lifetime of the garment when it is washed. All Wed’ze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.

At each wash, we recommend that you follow these guidelines to maintain the technical characteristics of your clothing. https://youtu.be/rh4GLwALgBM After 3 washes, we recommend that you renew water repellency using either a spray or soaking treatment.

The coating is like paint applied to the inside of the fabric making the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane, and requires a lining for protection. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more durable and often more breathable than a coating.

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapor generated by physical activity can escape, and the higher the fabric's breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability.

The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is expressed in mm of a water column (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. For example, a fabric with a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 5,000 mm column of water

In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we employ technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) improving the overall ventilation of our jackets and pants designed for Freeriding ski use. These ventilation systems regulate the temperature inside the garment while also helping to eliminate the perspiration generated by the body during physical activity.

The waterproof properties of the garment are related to its fabric, seam sealing and assembly design. Using a waterproof ZIPPER or adding a flap to the zipper (covers the zippers with a waterproof fabric flap).

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.

All our Freeride jackets and pants are equipped with the RECCO system®. 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.

Imported

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 continually improve is to test the products under the real-life conditions that you will experience.

Dry this waterproof protective garment thoroughly before storing it.
