You need three technical layers to keep warm on the slopes:
- Layer 1 or second skin, to stay dry.
- Layer 2 or insulating layer, to keep the heat in. 
- Layer 3 to protect against the elements.

How to dress to stay warm on the slopes

Polyester is the most commonly-used fibre for base garments because it is relatively inexpensive and offers excellent performance in various respects, and especially because the fibres can be knitted to obtain a very lightweight and durable fabric. It actively absorbs moisture but does not dry particularly well when wet.

What are the benefits of polyester?

In addition to the padding, which components provide warmth?

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

How is comfort temperature measured?

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

The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of the water column (measured in mm) that the fabric can withstand (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.
At Decathlon, we lab test all of our waterproof products. This product scores 3/5.

How is the water resistance 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 does it do?

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

Which parts of the jacket protect me in 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-repellent feature can be reactivated. To do this, you can use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly over the entire item, then allow to dry for 10 to 12 hours.

How to reactivate 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.

Regular fit

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

Keeps snow out if you fall

* Close all the zippers on the jacket.
* Turn it inside out.
* Machine wash at 30°C on the delicate cycle with little detergent and no fabric softener. 
Important: Use a gentle/delicate spin cycle (less than 800 rpm). Spinning too fast may create clumps that are difficult to undo.

Care

Tumble dry (strongly recommended). 
* Gentle or delicate cycle. 
* Dry on several long cycles to dry completely. * If you do not have a dryer, it will take longer to dry (drying flat can take 1 to 2 weeks). Make sure you pat the jacket to avoid any lumps.

How to dry your jacket

We commit to repairing your product free of charge for the duration of the warranty. If you need the seams, zippers, or another element repaired, contact your store. However, if we can’t repair your product (production defect), we will exchange it or reimburse you.

With Wrist Strap

Do you want a solid, durable pole that guarantees your safety in the event of a fall or if the pole gets stuck (on a net, tree, mechanical ascent, etc.)? 
Wedze has an ingenious ejection system of the strap to stop the thumb from turning inside out.
The preformed strap is clipped to the top of the handle and can be unclipped in case of stress. It can be re-clipped without any problem.

 In case of a fall, the hand does not get stuck like in a standard strap (8% of trauma cases).

Experience

To determine the correct size, bend forward slightly while wearing your ski boots. Then hold your poles upside down with your hand under the basket so that your forearm forms a 90° angle.

How should you choose your ski poles?

The baskets prevent the poles from sinking too far into the snow.
Split-sized screw baskets. Ideal for ensuring optimal thrust in all kinds of snow.
Clip together to make them easier to carry.

The basket is removable and compatible with all our baskets if you want a wider basket (freeride).

If a basket gets lost or broken, a replacement is available at our after-sales service.

Because UV rays are harmful to eyes, all our goggles are certified 100% anti-UV in accordance with the EN 174 standard. Goggles, which perfectly enclose the eyes and prevent any direct or reflected UV light from entering, provide the best protection.

UV Protection

Ski goggles with interchangeable lens for all-weather use. 
S1 Fog is a light lens offering improved vision of terrain in bad weather.
S3 Sun is a dark lens that protects you from bright sunlight. 
Lenses are not scratch-resistant.

Interchangeable lens

Essential anti-fogging is a dual lens with treatment on the inside of the inner lens.
To ensure effective ventilation, do not block the vent with a neck warmer, for example.
Be careful not to rub the inside of the lens, but carefully dab the surface to maintain the effectiveness of the anti-fogging treatment for as long as possible

Essential Anti-fog

Goggles with dual screen reduce condensation. The air trapped between the lenses creates a layer of thermal insulation. The thermal shock between the inside and the outside of the goggles is lower, limiting fogging on the goggles’ inner lens. The inner lens also has an anti-fog treatment.

Double lens

The cylindrical double lens is made of polycarbonate (outer lens) and cellulose polycarbonate (inner lens) cut to fit the goggles.

Wraparound lens

There is a vertical and a horizontal visual field. The G 100 has an Essential field of vision, providing good, safe visibility on the sides.

Essential Field of Vision

All Wedze ski goggles are designed to fit perfectly with Wedze ski helmets.

The padded sides and the shape of the goggle skirt leave space for the stems of eyeglasses. The 100 ski goggles in size L can be worn with eyeglasses no wider than 145 mm. 

Compatibility with prescription glasses

40 mm-high polyamide, polyester, and rubber strap.

Strap

The EN 174 standard is a European standard applied to goggles used for eye protection when downhill skiing or during similar activities, such as snowboarding. The ANSI standard, the American standard, has more stringent requirements for resistance to shocks and impact.
These ski goggles comply with both of these standards.

CE - EN 174 Standard

Moisture causes fogging. To prevent this, ensure the foam does not get damp, for example by placing the goggles on a wet helmet or a hat. Falling face down in the snow can also cause your goggles to fog up. Always dry your ski goggles overnight to get rid of any dampness so you can return to the slopes the following day with bone-dry goggles.

To Avoid Fogging

The size of the goggles is based on head size
Up to 55 cm, choose size S (formerly S/M); from 56 cm up, choose size L (formerly L/XL)

All Wedze gloves and mittens have a water-repellent treatment that makes water slide across the fabric’s surface instead of being absorbed. This means the fabric does not become saturated. It remains light and warm. A treatment applied to the outer surface makes the fabric water repellent. To remain effective, this treatment must be renewed every 2 to 3 washes with specific products that are available in our stores.

Water repellency of the component

These ski gloves have a water-resistant membrane (a very thin polymer film) between the lining and the outer part of the glove. This membrane acts as a barrier to make the product waterproof. The product’s exterior materials are also treated for water repellency. Only a rubber-type glove is watertight. Under extremely wet conditions, a glove with a membrane will have limited waterproofness.

Waterproof membrane

All Wedze gloves and mittens are windproof. Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? At an outside temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 20 km/h (12 mph), the temperature will feel like -10°C.Windproof fabrics limit wind chill and cold caused by the speed of the sport.

Windproofing

Simply pull the wrist strap with the opposite hand.

Easy to put on

An elastic drawstring that goes around the wrist can be used to remove the gloves on ski lifts without losing them.

Anti-loss system

It reflects how easily you can handle objects while wearing the glove. All our gloves are field-tested and given a dexterity score on a scale of 1 to 5. Gloves with a dexterity score of 5 allow you to handle objects just as you would with bare hands. 
The dexterity score is based on how well we could remove and put on ski goggles, adjust the hooks on a ski boot, and open and close a jacket.
