Description

Design details

Warm with breathable technology
Heat pads are positioned for good thermal protection while freeriding. This means the membrane can wick away your perspiration from a wide area. A perfect compromise between a completely padded jacket and 3-layer jacket with no extra warmth. Modularity is the key word for this jacket. It’s important to add a warmer or cooler second layer, depending on the conditions.
Additional features
Helmet hood offers maximum protection and freedom of movement. A single tightening toggle behind the head lets you adjust to three sizes in a single movement. Cinchable wrist and cuffs with thumb loops block air and snow. The snow skirt also reduces drafts and keeps snow out.
Ventilation
To stay dry, it’s important to wear a waterproof jacket. But you shouldn’t end up wet with perspiration. Vents are key for letting perspiration evaporate. That’s why this jacket has two large, zippered vents under the arms (35 cm/13.8” in size L).
Cut
The loose fit and preformed sleeves free up your movements and let you ski in complete freedom. This jacket was designed with a mechanical stretchy component. You can move freely while skiing.
Pockets
2 hand pockets with a waterproof zipper. 1 inside chest pocket with a watertight zipper. 1 outside chest pocket with a watertight zipper. 1 ski pass pocket on the left pocket with a watertight zipper. 1 easy-access inner mesh pocket.
What should you wear under your ski jacket?
To stay warm and dry, use the 3-layer rule: A ski base layer and a second layer liner jacket to retain warmth, while a third layer ski jacket protects you from bad weather. Keeps you dry by wicking perspiration from the skin to the other layers. The second layer provides warmth and can include jackets or fleece sweaters.
The third layer
This layer provides protection from the outdoor elements (snow, rain, and wind) while still letting perspiration escape so you don’t feel wet. Ideally, it should be waterproof and breathable. The third layer can also provide insulation, like lined pants or a jacket, and complements the second layer.
Water repellency
Water-repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This helps the fabric stay light, breathable, and warm. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied during the life of the garment (recommended every three washes). All Wedze jackets are treated for water repellency.
Component waterproofing
A fabric’s water resistance is measured by the height of a water column in mm it can support (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Fabric with a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm is resistant to the pressure exerted by a 10,000 mm column of water.
Breathability
The component of this jacket has a RET of 12. To determine a fabric’s breathability, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). A lower evaporative resistance means more perspiration can escape, increasing the fabric’s breathability. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric RET > 20 = little or no breathability
What is a membrane or coating?
The coating is like a paint applied to the inside of the fabric, making it waterproof yet breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane and requires a liner to protect it. A membrane, which is a very thin plastic film (polyurethane), makes the material waterproof yet breathable. Flexible, lighter, and more durable than a coating, it is often also more breathable.
How do we make a garment waterproof?
The fabric, seam sealing, and composition determine a fabric’s waterproofness. The garment undergoes shower tests.
Waterproofness/shower test
This garment was shower-tested under 100 L (26.5 gal) of water/m²/hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy storm.
How do you make a garment breathable?
In addition to breathable materials, other technical features (zippers, vents, mesh) improve the overall ventilation of our Freeride ski jackets and pants. These ventilation features regulate the temperature inside the garment and help to eliminate perspiration.
Your product is repairable.
This product is repairable. 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. If we can’t repair your product due to a production defect, you can exchange it or get a refund.
What is the Recco® system?
All our Freeride jackets and pants are equipped with the Recco® system. With Recco® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. Anyone buried in the snow equipped with Recco® reflectors can be quickly and accurately located by emergency services using the Recco® tracker. Recco® reflectors are not a substitute for an avalanche beacon. Recco® technology works as an additional safeguard, increasing the chances of being found in time.
Restoring the water-repellent properties
Follow care instructions when washing to preserve all the technical features. Link: After three washes, restore the water-repellent properties with a waterproof spray or wash-in product.
