TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What type of padding is used to provide warmth?
To make this jacket 100% stretch, we also used stretch wadding that doesn't tear. (60 g/m²). Wadding that tears will create a "cold bridge" in that area.The same wadding is used in the liner jacket. We didn't incorporate it into the chest section so that fresh air can pass through when the zip vents are open. The same applies to the back where we prioritised the transfer of moisture away from the body.
Which components are added to the padding give it warmth?
In addition to your jacket's lining, the cuffs, snow skirt, waterproof zips, high collar and hood adjustments keep the warm air inside and prevent cold air from getting inside.
What is a membrane and what's it for?
The membrane is a very thin 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 is the water resistance of a jacket measured?
The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A fabric with a waterproof rating of 12,000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 12,000 mm column of water.
Which parts of the jacket protect me from bad weather?
The 980 jacket has been developed with a sophisticated component and assembly that prevent water from entering and reduce wind chill to help you cope with the weather conditions (rain, snow, wind, etc.) . To validate its waterproof rating, this jacket was tested under a special shower that replicates the conditions skiers have to face. We validated the waterproofing of this product in the field in various weather conditions for several days.
Why is water-repellency needed for my jacket?
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to allow water to run off its surface without seeping in. This jacket features water-repellent components that extend its weather resistance. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface. However, this property may deteriorate with use.
How to restore the jacket's water-repellent properties?
Bear in mind that the water-repellent feature can be reactivated. To do this, put the jacket in the dryer on a synthetic programme for 10 to 15 minutes.
You can also use a waterproofing spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly over the entire garment, then leave it to dry for 10 to 12 hours).
What is a "breathable" jacket?
This garment wicks away the water vapour produced by your body when exercising. To see if a fabric is breathable, its resistance to evaporative heat (RET) is measured in a standardised ISO 11092 test. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. The 980 jacket has an RET of 8. However, it is the technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh) that Wedze uses, which reduce the condensation inside the garment and maximise breathability.
Easy tracking
The 980 jacket is fitted with a Recco system at the back of the neck for easy tracking in an avalanche.
What is the fit of the 980 jacket?
Slim fit. The jacket and liner jacket are slim fitting to enhance aerodynamics. They are 100% stretch so they still adapt to different body shapes.
How to dress to stay warm on the slopes?
To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-technical-layer rule:
- Layer 1 or a second skin, to stay dry.
- Layer 2 or an insulating layer, to keep the heat in.
- Layer 3 or a protective layer to protect against the elements.
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. The snow skirt (which is automatic), as well as the adjustable cuffs, prevent the entry of snow and draughts during practice and especially in case of a fall.
