FREERIDE 500 WOMEN'S SKI PANTS - PINK

Can I be sure my trousers will give me enough protection in bad weather?

The Free 700 trousers are rigorously developed and assembled to prevent water from entering, ensuring greater comfort in bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To check that they are waterproof and watertight, these trousers have been placed in a special shower reproducing the conditions a skier may have to cope with.

What's the point of having water-repellent trousers?

The water repellent properties of a fabric are what make water run off its surface without seeping in. Wed’ze trousers have water resistant materials to prolong their resistance to bad weather and prevent water from getting into the trousers. It is an additional technical solution to make sure you stay dry for as long as possible throughout the day. You should repeat this treatment regularly using products sold in our stores to maintain these properties.

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

The coating is an impermeable material that is spread on the inner face of the material. It prevents water from seeping into the garment but allows the water vapour produced by an active body to escape. So you will stay dry and comfortable while hitting the slopes

Water often gets in through the seams. Do my trousers have taped seams?

As well as the waterproof material, we use sealed seams to make Free 700 pants even more water-resistant. These are waterproof adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. These taped seams are present on the areas most exposed to snow.

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 the perspiration produced by the body. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to staying warm and dry.

How will my ski trousers keep me warm?

We use wadding for insulation to keep you warm. The wadding is a synthetic material with a polyester base that stores a greater or lesser quantity of air depending on the size of fibres used. There are different types of wadding, including standard, technical and siliconised, which all have different properties (for warmth, lightness and suppleness...)

What are "breathable" trousers?

This is the ski trousers' capacity to let the moisture produced during physical activity escape to the outside so that you stay dry. To find out if a fabric is breathable, its evaporative resistance, called RET (standardised test ISO 11092), is measured. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. Wedze uses technical components and solutions (zips, ventilation, mesh) preventing condensation inside the garment.

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

In order to stay warm and dry, we recommend that you wear 2 layers. Your skiing base layer and your trousers. Your ski trousers will protect you from the weather conditions. All these layers should be breathable in order to evacuate humidity.

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

Attach the jacket's snow skirt to your trousers. The trousers often have small eyelets at the waist to which you can attach the jacket's snow skirt. It prevents snow and air from entering during practice and especially in the event of a fall.

How can I be sure my trousers are 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.
