Can I be sure my jacket will properly protect me in bad weather?

To cope with inclement weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.), the jacket was developed with a component and assembly that prevents water from getting inside and reduces wind chill. To validate the waterproofing, the product was placed under a specially designed shower that reproduces the conditions encountered by a snowboarder in the field. Finally, we spent a few days snowboarding, in all conditions, to validate the waterproofing of the product.

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

As well as the waterproof fabric, we enhance the waterproofing of the jacket with taped seams. These are waterproof, adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. All the product's seams are taped.

What is the water-repellent feature of my jacket for?

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it thanks to a treatment applied to the outer surface of the fabric. The fabric doesn't soak up water and therefore remains lightweight and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the life of the product – after 2 to 3 washes on average – using the products available in our stores. All the waterproof jackets that we design for snowboarders are water-repellent.

What is a membrane and what's it for?

A membrane is a very thin component (between 5 and 25 micrometers) applied to the internal surface of a textile substrate to give it excellent waterproof and breathable capabilities. Our membrane components stop water from getting inside while allowing the water vapor generated by your body to pass through, when snowboarding.

How will my jacket keep me warm?

To keep you warm, we use faux-down padding insulation. Padding is a synthetic component made from polyester, which stores more or less air, depending on the length of the fibers. Padding can be standard, hi-tech or silicone-coated, each with different properties (warmth, low weight, elasticity, etc.).

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

In order to keep warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-layer rule. The principle is simple: wear 3 layers of clothing, each one of which has a specific function. Your underwear must produce and retain warmth. Your hoodie or sweatshirt keeps you warm while the jacket protects you from the weather. All these layers should be breathable in order to eliminate humidity.

How can you stop snow from getting into your jacket?

Our jackets have elasticated snow skirts that can be adjusted at the waist. If you fall or ski in fresh snow, the seal keeps the snow out.

How do I look after my product?

To optimize the performance and durability of your product, we recommend: Machine wash separately at 86°F. Synthetics cycle. Turn the product inside out. Use a small amount of detergent. No 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. You can restore the water-resistance of the outer fabric using a fabric waterproofing spray. Read the care label.
