Main Material

The waterproof zippers, snow skirt, high collar, and adjustable hood and cuffs offer superior insulation to keep you warm.

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.

How to dress to stay warm on the slopes

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.

A smart ski glove

These ski gloves have a water-resistant membrane (a 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. In extremely wet conditions, however, their waterproofing is limited. Membrane resists 10,000 mm water column.

Waterproof membrane

These gloves can be worn under the sleeves of your jacket thanks to a stretchy fabric.

The stretchy wrist lets you easily slide your gloves under your jacket.

If you perspire during the climb, use the back of your thumb to wipe away any sweat.

Special thumb material to catch perspiration

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? An outside temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) makes the temperature feel like -10°C.Windproof features reduce windchill due to wind speed or the relative speed of your activity.

Sizing information

Our water-repellent clothing protects you while cross-country skiing.
Water-repellent material means that water will run off it and won’t be absorbed. 
Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied over time (we recommend after every three washes). 

Water-repellent properties

We recommend the three-layer technique. 
Layer 1: A technical base layer that wicks away moisture to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: An insulating layer (T-shirt, fleece) that provides warmth and wicks moisture outward.
Layer 3: An outer layer (jacket) that protects against the elements (wind, snow, cold).

Adjust the number of layers to suit the intensity of your activity and the weather. Make sure your clothing is breathable.

How to stay warm and dry while cross-country skiing

To avoid feeling damp, wear breathable clothing that allows perspiration to evaporate. 
We measure our clothing’s evaporative resistance (RET) 
RET < 6: extremely breathable, ideal for high-intensity activity
 RET 6–12: very breathable, suitable for moderate-intensity activity
 RET 12–20: moderately breathable, not suitable for intense activity RET
 > 20: not very breathable and therefore not suitable for physical activity
 RET > 40: not breathable

Why is it important to wear breathable clothing when cross-country skiing?

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? An outdoor temperature of 0°C with a wind speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) feels like -10°C.Windproof features reduce windchill by blocking airflow and wind.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

The BL 580 Ski Base Layer Bottoms come in a slim fit. They stop at the knee to avoid overlapping layers (socks and base layer) and folds in your ski boot, which may affect comfort. 
They are like a second skin that hugs the body, reducing chafing and improving moisture wicking.

How do the BL 580 Ski Base Layer Bottoms fit?

Polyamide is the strongest of all raw textile materials, even when wet, and it is very stretchy.
This breathable fibre manages moisture very well and provides good temperature regulation.
These specially textured, super-soft yarns give the fabric a silky, natural feel. Ideal for tight, seamless clothing.

What are the benefits of polyamide?

Thanks to its bodymapping technology and brushed polyamide fibre created with I-Soft technology, this second skin will evenly distribute body heat.

Technical product structure

The I-Soft technology enhances the fabric’s performance, providing a variety of benefits: softness, warmth, and comfort. It also enhances garment performance, providing better heat regulation, humidity absorption, and thermal insulation. To achieve this softness, the base layer is brushed.
