At Decathlon, we make it a priority to offer you products that will make your children’s lives easier. Ziprotec lets you combine the jacket with the DBCK 500 Back Protector (ref: 8585102).
It’s simple! Ziprotec is: 
 - An additional zipper on the inside of the jacket 
- A hook at the top of the back of the jacket.
If your child has their jacket on, they are protected from bumps.

What is Ziprotec?

- Freedom: You can attach the back protector to your child’s jacket before leaving on a ski trip or in the evening before a day of skiing, and they’ll stay protected.
- Comfort: They’ll forget they’re wearing the back protector, as it is ergonomic and doesn’t ride up.
- Easy to remove: If they take off their jacket, the back protector stays attached to it.

Benefits of Ziprotec

This jacket is designed to prevent snow from getting inside: 
- at the back: snow skirt + long cut
- at the wrists (very exposed area): long sleeves and cuffs with thumb holes
- at the neck: collar with a high gusset and a hood with hook-and-loop tabs keep it in a vertical position, protecting the neck
The hood can also be worn over a helmet.

Snow protection

This jacket has been designed, developed, and tested with the 500 mittens that go under the jacket so that kids can put the mittens through the sleeve on their own (ages 8 and up). There are several features to keep the snow out. 
1. Jacket sleeve thumb loop prevents sleeves from riding up
2. Mittens reach high up the wrist
3. Jacket sleeves cover everything

Keeps snow out

This jacket has two different types of insulation to keep you warm:
- 150 g/m² for the body, with a fleece lining
- 100 g/m² on the sleeves

In addition to the waterproof fabric, we have enhanced the waterproofing of the jacket with taped seams. These heat-bonded waterproof strips are placed on the inside seams to make it perfectly watertight. On the SNB 500 Snowboard Jacket, 100% of the seams are taped.

Waterproofing

This Decathlon kids’ snowboard jacket was designed for regular to intensive snowboarding, so it has all the required pockets: 
- 2 side pockets with a zipper
- 1 external chest pocket with a zipper
- 1 interior mesh pocket for a neck warmer, goggles, etc.
- 1 ski pass pocket on the left sleeve with a zipper

5 pockets

When snowboarding, snow can get inside the jacket during a fall. The collar and hood were designed to limit this unpleasant experience.
The hood keeps the snow out. Fold the hood in 4 and attach it with the hook-and-loop tab it so it stays up and fills the gap under the helmet.
The collar must be fastened up to the top to keep everything tight.

Hood rolls under the helmet

The hood is designed to fit over a helmet in case of strong winds or heavy snowfall. 
Simply open the collar of the jacket by about 10 cm (3.94”), pull the hood over the helmet, and close the collar with the gusset (hook-and-loop tab closure). The gusset creates a well-protected area for the mouth and nose.

Hood over the helmet

To make sure you 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 your children so they stay warm on the slopes

Our snowboard jackets are guaranteed for five years. Contact us via our website to find out how to have your product repaired.

We opt for components and assembly processes that make our ski and snowboard jackets as durable as possible.

How can I be sure that my jacket is strong and durable?

The jacket’s waterproof fabric is reinforced with taped seams. These heat-bonded waterproof strips are placed on the seams inside the clothing to make it perfectly watertight. All seams on this product are taped.

Water often gets in through seams. Does my jacket have taped seams?

The water-repellent treatment applied to the outer surface makes water run off the fabric without seeping in. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light and warm. This treatment must be renewed over time, typically after 2 or 3 washes, using products available in our stores. All the waterproof jackets that we design for snowboarders and skiers are water-repellent.

What is the water-repellent feature of my jacket for?

To keep the kids warm, we use wadding insulation. Wadding is a synthetic component made from polyester that stores air depending on the length of the fibres. Wadding can be standard, hi-tech, or silicone-coated, and each type has different properties (warmth, low weight, elasticity, etc.). 

How does my jacket keep me warm?

To optimize your product’s performance and durability, we recommend: Machine wash separately at 30°C. Synthetic cycle. Turn the product inside out. Use a small amount of detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Wring by hand. Dry on a hanger in a warm, well-ventilated place. Do not dry clean. Do not place on a heater or radiator. You can restore the water resistance of the outer fabric with a fabric waterproofing spray. 

How do I look after my product?

This product is repairable.
