A WAXÉ component to look different to all other riders
The main component of the jacket is called WAXÉ. Like denim, this component wears over time depending on how you use it. Your jacket will reflect your style that will be different from that of other riders. The color and wear of the new component may vary from that shown on the photo.
Versatile and clever product.
This jacket was designed and co-created by and for snowboard enthusiasts. As well as the lines and backpack components designed for a more durable product, we have designed an automatic adjustment system for your mittens or gloves. You will no longer need to spend time tightening your cuffs, and there will be no more cold snow stopping the velcro from closing. Finally, the inside of the jacket has breathable 3D mesh and is very comfortable.
Can I be sure my jacket will give me proper protection in bad weather?
To withstand bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.), the jacket has been developed with a component and assembly that keep the water out and reduce wind chill. The waterproof rating is measured by placing the product in a special shower that replicates the real-life conditions encountered by snowboarders during use. Finally, we have 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 waterproof seams?
As well as the waterproof fabric, we enhance the waterproofing of the bib 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.
Why is water-repellency needed for my jacket?
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability for water to form on the surface without being absorbed thanks to a treatment applied to the outer surface of the fabric. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the life of the product, after 2 to 3 washes on average, using 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 does 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 I dress to avoid getting cold in the mountains?
In order to keep warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-layer rule. The principle is simple: wear 3 layers of clothing, which each have a specific function. Your base layer 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 evacuate humidity.
How can I stop snow from getting in my jacket?
Our jackets have elasticated snow skirts that can be adjusted at the waist. If you fall or are 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 softener. We recommend you wring it 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.
