What are the dimensions of the shovel?

Once the victim has been located with the ARB and the probe, unfold the telescopic handle and start digging to clear the snow that covers the victim.
On average, the shovelling lasts longer than the search for the victim. It must therefore be effective.

How do you use the compact Wilder avalanche shovel?

The mountains offer a scenic playground of adventure, but they also require a great deal of caution.
The use of the shovel/probe/ARB (avalanche rescue beacon) set is essential for locating and rescuing avalanche victims.
Please note that these three items are not intended to provide a feeling of absolute protection.

The 110 mm (4.3”) width is compatible with many skis.

70% mohair and 30% synthetic skins; the perfect blend for good glide performance

Glide performance

Mid-length hair skins offer excellent grip when climbing.

Traction

The glue over the entire surface of the skin sticks perfectly to the ski.

Grip

These cut-to-fit skins are designed to replace your old backcountry ski skins for a good grip when climbing.

In response to customer reviews on our website, we decided to add skin netting in September 2020. Store the skins on the net to keep the glue fresh.

Product upgrade: ski skin netting

The skin is 110 mm (4.3”) wide and 185 cm (72.8”) long and is suitable for skis up to 95 mm (3.7”) underfoot for an ideal trim.
Kit supplied with cutter to trim and adjust the skins to fit the width and length of your skis.

Trimming skins

Front clip system can be used on all ski tips.
The cam lock system at the back allows for fine adjustments and excellent skin-to-ski hold.

Fastening system

Wedze backcountry ski skins are designed so you can repair them if needed. Please note that you can replace the front and rear sections of our skins. To do this, simply consult a Decathlon assistant, who’ll be able to explain what you need to do.

Repairs

It’s also possible that after several seasons of use, the glue underneath the skin has worn away (creating little glue clusters). You can find DIY glue repair kits in our stores or on our website.

With Wrist Strap

When cross-country skiing or skiing off-piste, it has been shown that wrist straps increase the risk of injury in the event of a fall.
In the event of an avalanche, the pole and its wrist strap can also act as an anchor and increase the risk of becoming buried under the snow.
To reduce these risks, we have developed a removable wrist strap that detaches in the event of a fall.

Why use a removable wrist strap?

The poles have 95 mm wide baskets for good lift on soft snow.
They are designed to improve thrust on flat terrain thanks to the softer section. This makes it easier for you to progress during your cross-country skiing approaches.

Features of the baskets

The tungsten tip allows you to sink the pole into all types of snow, even the hardest.

What material is the tip of the poles made of?

Several parts of the pole are repairable and available at Decathlon: 
- The lower section, also called the tube or segment
- The baskets that screw in
- The wrist strap
You can get more information in the shop.

Are the poles repairable?

With Recco® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. A person with RECCO® reflectors buried in snow can be quickly and accurately located by emergency services using a RECCO® tracker. It is useful at ski resorts as ski patrollers are also equipped with them. 
WARNING: Under no circumstances do RECCO® reflectors replace the use of the avalanche victim detector, shovel, probe. These three devices allow you to search for someone, or be searched for, if buried in snow.

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?

Detachable Visor

Wedze/Quechua helmets and goggles are designed to form an complete unit and prevent gaps between the top of the helmet and the goggles.

Use the adjustment dial to secure your helmet. The dial can be easily adjusted while wearing gloves. It also provides comfort and maximum safety. Turn the dial to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen.

Tightening dial

This type of structure, known as In-Mould, features a polycarbonate outer shell that is moulded directly to the EPS liner. The inner EPS liner absorbs shocks in the event of a collision. The whole thing is extremely lightweight. The In-Mould construction is more sensitive to everyday impacts. We recommend changing your ski helmet at least every five years or if it has sustained a significant impact.

In-Mold construction

Measure the circumference of your head (from the middle of your forehead to the top of your ears) and choose the right size. When trying on the helmet, you should not feel any discomfort. If the helmet does not have a visor, try it on with a pair of goggles: There should be no gaps between the two.

How to choose the right size and trying on your helmet

For your safety, your ski helmet must be properly adjusted:
- The head circumference must be adjusted using the tightening dial.
- The chin strap must be correctly adjusted. You should be able to fit two fingers between the strap and your skin. If it is not adjusted properly, the helmet will not protect you as it should.

Adjust your helmet once you have the right size

We recommend replacing your ski helmet at least every five years unless it has sustained a significant impact in the meantime. In the event of a strong impact, the helmet must be replaced: even if it is not visible, the internal material may be damaged and your helmet will provide less protection.

When should you replace your ski helmet?

Avoid wearing a hat, as this will create a gap between your head and your helmet and reduce your protection. If necessary, opt for a very thin balaclava designed for this purpose. 
Avoid putting a camera on the helmet, as this will compromise your safety. The standard does not take into account any elements added to the helmet.

A helmet keeps you warm: it is not necessary, and even discouraged, to wear a hat underneath

Helmets used for head protection when downhill skiing and snowboarding are required to meet the European standard EN 1077:2007. This standard ensures that helmets absorb shocks and are resistant to penetration. There are two categories:
- Class A: protects the top and back of the head, as well as the ears and the side of the head.
- Class B: Protects the top and back of the head but does not cover the ears.
