Men's Freeride Ski 3-in-1 Jacket SFR 900

Built-in removable layer 2.

Built-in padded jacket:

4.1 oz/m² recycled padding on the back and chest for good insulation.

Ergonomic cut. Fleece insert for warmth and freedom of movement.

2 wide air vents at the front to provide good ventilation.

The padded fleece collar makes the neck feel very comfortable.

2 side pockets

3D hood

Wed'ze has added a hood with a 3-way tightening system to this ski jacket. It is designed to move with your head without any discomfort and provide superior protection from bad weather. It is compatible with helmets.

The hood is preformed with a high collar for protecting the face in case of intense cold or strong wind. The flap of the zipper closure is micro-perforated to facilitate breathing while protecting the face.

Sleeves and cuffs

Very wide and adjustable sleeves that fit over the gloves to protect you from the snow and keep you dry and warm in case of a snow shower or a fall. Spandex cuffs with a stuck thumb hole. The resulting assembly has a more slim fit so that the connection between the gloves and jacket is completely airtight.

Pockets

1 waterproof and insulated pocket for a phone (right chest) with headphone/microphone outlet so that you can still take calls.

2 hand pockets with a waterproof zipper.

1 inside mesh pocket with a zipper.

1 pocket on the left shoulder for the ski pass

All the pockets have waterproof zippers

What should you wear under your skiing jacket?

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

The first layer

This keeps you dry by wicking away the perspiration from the skin to the other layers.

The second layer

To provide warmth, you need to wear a second layer that insulates you from the cold. This function can be provided by a sweater, fleece or down jacket.

Built-in padded jacket:

4.1 oz/m² recycled padding on the back and chest for good insulation.

Ergonomic cut. Fleece insert for warmth and freedom of movement.

2 wide air vents at the front to provide good ventilation.

The padded fleece collar makes the neck feel very comfortable.

2 side pockets

The third layer

Protection from the outdoor elements (snow, rain and wind) by preventing them from entering (while still allowing perspiration to escape so that you do not feel "wet inside"). It should therefore ideally be waterproof and breathable. The third layer can also provide insulation in the case of lined pants or jackets. This complements the properties of the second layer.

How can I best insulate my hands and feet?

Thanks to the trim of the cuffs that can be adjusted with velcro over or under the gloves, snow or unpleasant drafts are prevented from entering in the event of a fall. What's more, given that the cold is a source of irritation, Wedze has added a soft fleece chin guard that protects your face to avoid any risk of neck and chin irritation.

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

To tackle bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.), the FREE 900 jacket was developed with a sophisticated component and assembly that prevents water from getting in and reduces wind chill. To validate the waterproof rating, the jacket was placed under a special shower to replicate the conditions that a skier may face. We finally went skiing for several days in all types of conditions to validate the waterproofing of the product

What's the point of having a water-repellent jacket?

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. The FREERIDE 900 jacket has water-repellent components to enhance its resistance to inclement weather. This is an additional technical solution for staying dry for as long as possible on the ski slopes. You should repeat this treatment regularly using the products sold in our stores to maintain these properties.

Tutorial on how to wash 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, we recommend reactivating the water-repellent properties with a waterproof spray or waterproof impregnation treatment.

I often hear people talk about "coated" jackets. What are the advantages of the coating?

The coating is a waterproof "substance" that is spread on the inner side of the fabric. It prevents water from seeping into the garment but allows the water vapor produced by an active body to escape. So you will stay dry and comfortable while hitting the slopes

What is a membrane and what's it for?

The membrane is a very fine component applied to the inner surface of the outer fabric. This hydrophilic component prevents water from seeping in while wicking away perspiration. The membrane is an essential feature when it comes to staying warm and dry.

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

In addition to the waterproof fabric, we enhance the waterproofing of our FREERIDE 900 jacket by taping the seams. These are waterproof adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight.

How will my ski jacket keep me warm?

We use padding for insulation to keep you warm. The padding is a synthetic material with a polyester base that traps more or less air according to the size of fibers. There are standard, high-tech and silicone coated padding materials that each provide different properties (insulation, low weight, elasticity, etc.)

What is a "breathable" jacket?

This is the capacity of the ski jacket to allow the water vapor produced by the body to escape during physical activity so that you stay dry. To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its total evaporative resistance RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. Wedze uses technical components and solutions (zippers, ventilation, mesh) that prevent condensation inside the garment.

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

You no longer need to get your ski pass out because your sleeve has a ski pass pocket to allow you to access the ski lifts quickly

A score for comparing the products’ environmental impact

The product's environmental footprint is calculated for its entire life and with 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.

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. This prevents snow and drafts from entering when skiing and particularly in the event of a fall. It can be fastened to the pants with the 3 loops and a press stud.

How can I be sure my jacket is strong enough?

We know how much energy is expended during a day's skiing or snowboarding. That’s why we take particular care in choosing all the elements that make up our products to guarantee the best possible protection.

What is the RECCO system?

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

With the 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.
