Men's Ski Jacket Ski-P Jkt 900

How can I be sure my jacket will give me proper protection in bad weather?

The 900 jacket has been developed using fabric and a rigorous assembly to prevent water from entering and limit wind chill, to help you cope with bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To check that it is waterproof, this jacket was placed in a special shower reproducing the conditions a skier has to cope with. We checked this product's waterproofing by skiing in different weather conditions for several days.

What is the point of the water repellent feature of my jacket?

The water repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. The 900 jacket is equipped with water-repellent components that prolong its resistance to bad weather. This is an additional technical solution for staying dry for as long possible on the ski slopes. In order to remain effective, this treatment must be regularly restored using products sold in our stores.

"Coated" jacket: what are the advantages of this coating?

The coating is a waterproofing material spread over the inner surface of a fabric. It prevents water from seeping into the garment but allows the water vapor produced by the body's physical activity to escape. So you stay dry for greater comfort while practicing your sport.

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

As well as the waterproof material, sealed seams are incorporated to strengthen the waterproofing of the Slide 900 jacket. These are waterproof adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. All the seams on the product are taped seams. They guarantee complete waterproofing in the snow.

How will my ski jacket keep me warm?

We use padding for insulation to help keep you warm. This polyester-based synthetic material traps air, the quantity of which will depend on the size of the fibers. Padding can be standard, high-tech or siliconized, each with different properties: warmth, lightness, flexibility, etc.

What do we mean by ‘breathable’ jacket?

It is a product that lets the water vapor produced by the body during exercise escape, keeping you dry. To see if a fabric is breathable, we measure its resistance to evaporative heat (RET) in a standardized ISO 11092 test. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. Wed'ze uses high-tech materials and solutions (zippers, ventilation, mesh) that help prevent condensation inside the garment. 900 component RET < 12

How should I dress to avoid feeling cold on the slopes?

To keep warm and dry, use the 3-breathable-layers rule: 1 skiing base layer, 1 liner jacket to keep warm and 1 ski jacket to protect you from bad weather.

How can I prevent snow from getting in when I fall?

The snow skirt is a protection system at waist level that closes with press studs at the bottom of the ski or snowboard jacket. It prevents snow and air from entering when on the slopes, especially in the event of a fall.

Where can I put my ski pass when taking ski lifts?

You no longer need to get out your ski pass! Your sleeve has a ski pass pocket, allowing you to access lifts quickly.
