Main Material

Body mapping to target stretch areas where you need to have good freedom of movement. Padded areas for warmth (125 g/m²).
Stretch zones to wick away perspiration, these areas match the vents on our FR 900 ski pants.

Design

To keep warm and dry, wear two or three breathable layers.
In warmer weather, a breathable base layer provides comfort, moderate warmth, and good perspiration wicking.
If it is colder, our FR 900 tights will be perfect for providing extra warmth.
In more intense cold, you can combine the two layers while retaining good breathability.

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.

No more compromising. This thermal base layer keeps you warm while also being breathable, even during intense skiing sessions.

The BL 980 Base Layer provides a slim fit.
It acts as a second skin that hugs the body, which reduces chafing and improves moisture wicking.

The knit texture of the wool creates air chambers in the fabric. These trap body heat to create a buffer against the cold.

Straps

For warmth, we used insulating fill (60 m²g/m²). This synthetic, polyester-based lining traps air according to the size of the fibres to keep you warm.

Which fabrics are used to make my pants warm?

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.

The regular fit allows the pants to be combined with a technical base layer.

What is the fit of the 100 Ski Pants?

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. Fabric with a waterproof rating of 5,000 mm is resistant to the pressure exerted by a 5,000 mm column of water.
For skiing, we recommend fabrics rated 5,000 to 20,000 mm. At Decathlon, we lab test all of our waterproof products. This product's rating is?/ 5 In a shower test.

How is your pants’ water resistance measured?

These pants have elastic gaiters at the ankles to cover your boots. The seal created by the gaiters keeps the snow out.

How can I prevent snow from getting in my pants?

To optimize your product’s performance and durability: 
*Machine wash at 30°C on a synthetics 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 radiator.
