How can I be sure that my jacket is strong and durable?
We guarantee our products for 5 years and, if you are unlucky enough to damage them, offer a repair service through local service providers. Contact us on our website for further information and details about product repairs.
When selecting the components and assembly processes used for our products, we take particular care to ensure they are sufficiently durable to withstand the rigours of snowboarding.
How can I compare the environmental impact of different products?
The product's environmental footprint is calculated over its entire lifespan using various indicators. A score is assigned, from A to E, to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing similar types of products. Decathlon is committed to this approach:

Can I be sure my jacket will properly protect me in bad weather?
The material and assembly processes used to produce the jacket are designed to keep out water and reduce wind chill to help you cope with adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, wind, etc.). The waterproof rating is measured by placing the product in a special shower that replicates real-life conditions encountered by snowboarders. Finally, to validate the product's waterproof properties, we tested the jacket in action, spending several days snowboarding in a range of weather conditions.
Water often gets in through the seams. Does my jacket have taped seams?
In addition to the waterproof fabric, we further enhance the jacket's water resistance with taped seams. These are waterproof adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. For this product, all seams are waterproof.
What is the purpose of my jacket's water-repellent feature?
The water-repellent feature makes water run off the fabric without seeping in thanks to a treatment applied to its outer surface. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light and warm. This treatment must be restored during the product’s lifespan, every 2 to 3 washes on average, using products that are available in our stores. All our waterproof snowboard jackets have a water-repellent treatment.
What is a membrane and what is it for?
A membrane is a very fine component (between 5 and 25 micrometres) applied on the inner surface of a textile base to provide it with the great qualities of waterproofing and breathability. Our membranous components stop water from seeping in while still letting out the water vapour generated by your body during your snowboarding session.
How will my ski jacket keep me warm?
To keep you warm, we use wadding insulation. Wadding is a synthetic component made from polyester that stores variable amounts of air, depending on the length of the fibres. Standard, technical, and siliconized wadding exist with distinct properties (warmth, light weight, elasticity, etc.). We use 100% recycled wadding to reduce this product's environmental impact.
How to dress to avoid feeling cold on the slopes
In order to keep warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-layer rule. The principle is simple: you need 3 layers of fabric, each of which serves a specific purpose. Your base layer should produce and retain heat. Your hoodie or sweatshirt provides you with warmth while the jacket protects you from the elements. All these layers should be breathable for optimal moisture wicking.
How to look after the product
To optimize your product's performance and durability, we recommend the following: Machine wash separately at 30°C. Synthetic cycle. Turn product inside out. Use a small amount of detergent. No softener. Wring out by hand. Dry on a hanger in a warm, well-ventilated place. Do not dry clean. Do not place on a radiator. You can restore the water resistance of the outer fabric using a fabric waterproofing spray. Read the care label.
