Women's Ski Jacket 100

The Slide 300 jacket was designed to withstand half a day's skiing in snow (about 4 hours). To easily cope with bad weather (rain, snow, wind...), this jacket has been developed using a component and treatment that prevent water getting in. In order to validate the waterproof rating, the jacket was placed under a special shower that replicates the real-life conditions faced by skiers."

Water repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. The SLIDE 300 jacket is equipped with water repellent components which prolong the resistance to bad weather. This is an additional technical solution for staying dry for as long as possible on the ski slopes. You should repeat this treatment regularly using products sold in our stores to maintain these properties.

The coating is a waterproof "substance" that is spread on the inner side of the fabric. It prevents water from seeping into the garment but allows the water vapour produced by an active body to escape. So you will stay dry and comfortable while hitting the slopes

In addition to the waterproof fabric, we have enhanced the waterproof rating of the Slide 300 jacket with taped seams. These are waterproof adhesive strips fixed to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. These taped seams are present on the areas most exposed to snow. These are usually located on the shoulders and chest.

So that skiers feel "neither too hot, nor too cold", the garment must be able to adapt to the body's physical movement and the outside environment. We use wadding for insulation to keep you warm.The wadding is a synthetic material with a polyester base that stores a greater or lesser quantity of air depending on the size of fibers used.There are different types of wadding, including standard, technical and siliconized, which all have different properties (for warmth, lightness and suppleness...)

The cuffs have adjustable velcro tabs that go on or underneath the gloves providing a better seal so that snow or unpleasant cold draughts cannot get in. In addition, because the cold can cause irritations, Wedze has incorporated a soft fleece chin protection that protects your face and prevents irritations to your neck and chin.”

We recommend using the 3-layer rule. The principle is simple: Use 3 layers of fabric, each having a particular function. Your skiing base-layer and your liner jacket must produce and retain warmth. Your ski jacket will protect you from the weather conditions. All these layers should be breathable in order to evacuate humidity.

It’s the ski jacket’s ability to allow moisture produced during exercise to escape to the outside, keeping you dry. To find out if a fabric is breathable, its evaporative resistance, called RET (standardized test ISO 11092), is measured. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. Wedze uses technical components and solutions (zips, ventilation, mesh) preventing condensation inside the garment. RET of the Slide 300 jacket: 12

The fabric is made windproof with a coating or by applying a membrane on the inside. When skiing on the slopes or resting on the ski lifts, protect yourself from the wind to prevent chills and make you as comfortable as possible.

We know how much energy is expended during a day's skiing or snowboarding. That’s why we take particular care in choosing all the elements that make up our products to guarantee the best possible protection.

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.

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.

The product's environmental footprint is calculated for its entire life and with various indicators. A score of A, B, C, D or E is made to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of a similar type (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks). For Decathlon, this initiative to display environmental data is a priority. Video explanation: https://youtu.be/8t63KkRwn_8 sustainability.decathlon.com

Imported

All Wed'ze products are designed and developed in the Mont Blanc Valley. They are then tested in conditions identical to those you encounter in use (in all kinds of snow, in the cold etc.) The design teams make sure the program the product was designed and developed for matches its use in the field.

Store on a hanger and do not fold, as this can damage the fabric coating. Make sure that the garment is completely dry before storing in a dry and well-ventilated place.
