Main Material

Heat pads are positioned for good thermal protection while freeriding.
This means the membrane can wick away your perspiration from a wide area.
A perfect compromise between a completely padded jacket and 3-layer jacket with no extra warmth. 
Modularity is the key word for this jacket. It’s important to add a warmer or cooler second layer, depending on the conditions.

Warm with breathable technology

Helmet hood offers maximum protection and freedom of movement.
A single tightening toggle behind the head lets you adjust to three sizes in a single movement.

Cinchable wrist and cuffs with thumb loops block air and snow.
The snow skirt also reduces drafts and keeps snow out.

Additional features

To stay dry, it’s important to wear a waterproof jacket. But you shouldn’t end up wet with perspiration.
Vents are key for letting perspiration evaporate.
That’s why this jacket has two large, zippered vents under the arms (35 cm/13.8” in size L).

The loose fit and preformed sleeves free up your movements and let you ski in complete freedom.
This jacket was designed with a mechanical stretch component. You can move freely while skiing.

2 hand pockets with a waterproof zipper.
1 inside chest pocket with a watertight zipper.
1 outside chest pocket with a watertight zipper.
1 ski pass pocket on the left pocket with a watertight zipper.
1 easy-access inner mesh pocket.

To stay warm and dry, use the 3-layer rule: A ski base layer and a second layer liner jacket to retain warmth, while a third layer ski jacket protects you from bad weather.
Keeps you dry by wicking perspiration from the skin to the other layers.
The second layer provides warmth and can include jackets or fleece sweaters.

What should you wear under your ski jacket?

This layer provides protection from the outdoor elements (snow, rain, and wind) while still letting perspiration escape so you don’t feel wet. Ideally, it should be waterproof and breathable. The third layer can also provide insulation, like lined pants or a jacket, and complements the second layer.

The third layer

Water-repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This helps the fabric stay light, breathable, and warm. 
Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. 
This treatment needs to be reapplied during the life of the garment (recommended every three washes). All Wedze jackets are treated for water repellency.

Water repellency

A fabric’s water resistance is measured by the height of a water column in mm it can support (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Fabric with a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm is resistant to the pressure exerted by a 10,000 mm column of water

Component waterproofing

The component of this jacket has a RET of 12.
To determine a fabric’s breathability, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). A lower evaporative resistance means more perspiration can escape, increasing 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 coating is like a paint applied to the inside of the fabric, making it waterproof yet breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane and requires a liner to protect it.  A membrane, a very thin plastic film (polyurethane), makes the material waterproof yet breathable. Flexible, lighter, and more durable than a coating, it is often also more breathable.

What is a membrane or coating?

The fabric, seam sealing, and composition determine a fabric’s waterproofness.
Then shower tests are conducted.

How do we make a garment waterproof?

This garment was shower-tested under 100 L (26.5 gal) of water/m²/hour for 3 hours. 
This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy storm.

Waterproofness/Shower test

In addition to breathable materials, other technical features (zippers, vents, mesh) improve the overall ventilation of our Freeride ski jackets and pants. These ventilation features regulate the temperature inside the garment and help to eliminate perspiration.

Zipper Type

What is the fit of the 900 Midlayer Jacket?

* Close all the zippers on the jacket
* Turn it inside out
* Machine wash at 30°C, delicate cycle with little detergent and no fabric softener.Important:set to a very gently spin cycle (less than 800 rev/min): too strong a spin could create feather balls that are difficult to undo.
* Perform a second or third rinse cycle to make sure that any remaining detergent from the previous wash has been eliminated.

How to wash your midlayer jacket

Tumble dry (strongly recommended) 
* Gentle or delicate cycle. 
* Dry on several long cycles to dry completely. 
* Shake the down between cycles to break up any clumps that formed during washing.
If you do not have a dryer, the process is longer (drying flat can take one to two weeks). Make sure you pat the jacket to avoid clumps (at least 4–5 times).

How to dry your midlayer jacket

Our traceability system guarantees the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers are committed to using only feathers that come from ducks that are raised for their meat and plucked after slaughter.

Where do the feathers come from?

This 85% down/15% feather jacket has a guaranteed fill power of 600 cuin (European standard).
Fill power is a measure of the down’s thermal insulation capacity through its ability to trap a specific amount of air. Down with a higher fill power (higher cuin number) takes up more space, traps more air, and provides greater thermal insulation.

The fill power of a jacket: what is it? (cuin)

The down’s long-lasting fill power gives it three important qualities for winter sports:
- Thermal insulation, because of the air trapped in the down and feathers
- Lightness, because down is lighter than synthetic fill and offers the same degree of warmth 
- Compressibility

Ease of use

Do you ski regularly? This jacket’s down padding provides plenty of warmth.

Recognized for their excellent thermal insulation, down and feathers also offer a great warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility. However, the warmth provided is a combination of the weight of down and feathers and the jacket’s expansion capacity. Together, they provide warmth and insulation from the cold. (Padding: 50% down and 50% feathers in the body, recycled wadding 100 g/m² at the bottom of jacket and arms, 60 g/m² on the collar).

What type of padding is used for warmth?

Your jacket’s waterproof zippers, snow skirt, high collar, and adjustable hood and cuffs offer superior insulation to keep you warm.

In addition to the fill, which components provide warmth?

We lab-test each of our products so that we can provide you with a value indicating the item’s comfort temperature. This comfort indicator is measured without tights for pants, and with a thermal T-shirt and a fleece for jackets. The measurement indicated is that of the external temperature at which the testers were neither warm, nor cold. Of course, this perceived temperature varies depending on the intensity of the activity and the metabolism of the individual.

How is comfort temperature measured?

To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-layer technique: 
- Layer 1 or base layer, to stay dry. 
- Layer 2 or insulating layer, to keep the heat in.
- Layer 3 to protect against the elements.

Staying warm on the slopes

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. This component has a waterproofing resistance of 10,000 mm resists the pressure of 10,000 mm of water.
For skiing, we advise components rated 3,000 mm to 20,000 mm. 
Plus, here at Decathlon, we lab-test all of our waterproof products. This product has a score of 3/5

How is the water resistance of a jacket measured?

The membrane is a very fine component applied to the inner surface of the outer jacket fabric. This component prevents water from seeping in while wicking away perspiration. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to keeping you warm and dry.

What is a membrane and what’s it for?

The 500 Ski Jacket is made of sturdy, water-resistant materials that reduce wind chill for better protection against the elements (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To check its waterproof rating, this jacket was tested under a special shower test that replicates the conditions skiers have to face. This jacket’s waterproofing was field-tested in various weather conditions for several days.

Which parts of the jacket protect me from bad weather?

Water repellency is a material’s ability to let water bead off the surface without being absorbed. This jacket features water-repellent components that improve its weather resistance. The exterior surface of the fabric is treated to make it water-repellent.

Why does my jacket need water repellency?

Bear in mind that the water repellency can be reactivated. To do this, you can use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores): spray evenly over the entire garment, then allow to dry for 10 to 12 hours.

How to reactivate your jacket’s water repellency

This jacket wicks perspiration away. To determine a fabric’s breathability, we measure its resistance to evaporative heat (RET) based on a standardized ISO 11092 test. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. The 500 Ski Jacket has a RET of 11. However, it is Wedze’s technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh) that reduce condensation and maximize breathability.

What is a breathable jacket?

Regular fit The jacket’s sides are straight rather than fitted. This jacket is roomy enough to be worn over a first and second technical layer.

How does the 500 Ski Jacket fit?

The snow skirt adjusts automatically, and adjustable cuffs block drafts and snow, especially in the event of a fall.

Keeping snow out if you fall

* Close all the zippers on the jacket
* Turn it inside out
* Machine wash at 30°C, delicate cycle with little detergent and no fabric softener.
Important: set to a very gently spin cycle (less than 800 rpm): too strong a spin could create feather balls that are difficult to undo.
 * Perform a second or third rinse cycle to make sure that any remaining detergent from the previous wash has been eliminated.

How do I wash my jacket?

Tumble dry (strongly recommended) 
* Gentle or delicate cycle. * Put 2 clean, ideally white, tennis balls in the drum of the dryer. 
* Dry on several long cycles to dry completely. 
* Shake the down between cycles to break up any clumps that formed during washing.
If you do not have a dryer, the process is longer (drying flat can take one to two weeks). Make sure you pat the jacket to avoid clumps (at least 4–5 times).

How to dry my jacket

The cut of a textile garment inevitably produces waste as different pieces do not always fit together. 
With this product, we used a minimal waste design method, which consists of piecing together the parts like a jigsaw puzzle to waste as little material as possible. We are now proud to offer our first jacket resulting from this method, with a 36% gain.

Regular fit. The jacket’s sides are straight rather than fitted. This jacket is roomy enough to be worn over a first and second technical layer.

What is the fit of the 100 Ski Jacket?

A fabric’s water resistance is measured by the height of a water column in mm it can support (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A water-resistance rating of 10,000 mm means the fabric can resist 10,000 mm of water pressure.
For skiing, we advise components rated between 3,000 mm and 20,000 mm. 

How is waterproofing of the fabric measured?

The 100 Ski Jacket was rigorously developed to keep water out and prevent wind chill, so you can brave bad weather. We tested this product’s waterproofness in use over several days in various weather conditions. Using this test, we can confirm that the jacket protects you from snowfall or a light rain shower (30 mm/1.2”) for half an hour.

We lab test each of our products to provide you with a comfort indicator. This comfort indicator is measured without tights for pants, and with a thermal T-shirt and a fleece for jackets. The measurement indicated is that of the external temperature in which the testers are neither warm nor cold. Of course, the perceived temperature varies in line with the intensity of the activity and the metabolism of the individual.

To stay warm and dry, use the 3-layer rule:- Layer 1, a base layer to keep you dry. - Layer 2, an insulating layer to keep you warm. - Layer 3, a protective layer against the elements.

During intense physical exertion, being dressed too warmly can actually make you feel cold. Unable to escape, perspiration stays on your skin. A midlayer jacket you can remove in milder temperatures is practical. Try to anticipate when you might get too hot or too cold, and open or close the vents accordingly. Sitting on the ski lift, for example, is a good time to close the vents to stay warm.

Directions

To stay warm and dry, use the 3-layer rule: 1 skiing base layer, 1 midlayer jacket to retain warmth, and 1 outer layer ski jacket to protect you from the elements.
Layer 1: keeps you dry by wicking perspiration from the skin to the other layers.
Layer 2: provides warmth and includes down jackets or fleece pullovers.

For this 90% down/10% feather jacket
 The fill power is the capacity of the down to insulate by trapping a certain volume of air. Down has more fill power (a higher cuin number) and takes up more space, trapping more air and providing greater insulation.

Down/feather fill power

The down’s long-lasting fill power gives it three important qualities for freeriding:
- Thermal insulation, thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers
- Ultra-lightweight: down is lighter than synthetic fill and offers the same degree of warmth it’s even lighter in your backpack
- Ultra-compressible

Some tips: close all the zippers on your down jacket and put it in the washing machine (synthetic cycle at 30°C). 

Set on a gentle spin cycle: a fast spin cycle creates clumps that are difficult to break up.
