What is the purpose of water repellency?

Water-repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged and remains light, breathable and warm. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be restored during the lifetime of the garment (every 3 washes). All the Wedze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.

What is the breathability of a component?

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapor generated by the body can escape and the higher 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 coated component?

The coating is like paint applied to the inside of the fabric making the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane and requires a lining for protection. The membrane is like a very fine plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while keeping it breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more durable and often more breathable than a coating.

How is the waterproofness of the fabric measured?

The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is expressed in mm of a water column (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 2000 mm can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by a 2000 mm column of water

Waterproofness/Shower test

This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 L of water / sqm / hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.

How do we make a garment waterproof?

The waterproof properties of the garment are related to its fabric, seam sealing and assembly design.

We then carry out a shower test on our garments.

How do I know if my clothing is breathable?

In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we use technical solutions (zippers, vents, mesh, etc.) that improve the overall ventilation of our jackets and pants designed for Freeride skiing or All-mountain use. These ventilation systems regulate the temperature inside the garment while also helping to eliminate the perspiration generated by the body during physical activity.

Product environmental impact comparison score

The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifespan, using various indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.) Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products.

What is the RECCO system®?

All our Freeride and All-Mountain jackets and pants are equipped with the RECCO system®.

With RECCO® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. Someone who is equipped with RECCO® reflectors and is buried in the snow can be quickly and accurately located by the emergency services using the RECCO® tracker. RECCO® reflectors are not a substitute for an avalanche beacon. The RECCO® technology works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time.

Flexibility

3 pockets, including 1 on the thigh with a phone pocket

Tutorial on washing your waterproof garment

With each wash, we recommend that you follow the set protocol to preserve all the technical features of your garment.

After 3 washes, restore the water-repellent properties with a waterproof spray or wash-in product.
