Water repellency
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged and remains light, breathable and warm. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes). All Wedze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.
Breathability of a component
To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity can escape and the higher the fabric's breathability.
For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability.
Component's waterproof properties.
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. For example, a fabric with a waterproof rating of 10000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 10000 mm column of water
What is a membrane or coated component?
The coating is akin to a paint applied inside the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane and requires a liner to protect it. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more resistant and often more breathable than a coating.
Waterproofness/Shower test
This garment has been validated in a shower test under 60 L of water / sqm / hour for 2 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a rain shower in the mountains.
How do we make a garment waterproof?
The waterproof properties of the garment are related to its fabric, seam sealing and assembly design.
We then conduct shower tests on our clothing
Tutorial on how to wash your waterproof garment
We recommend that you follow these guidelines at every wash in order to retain all the technical features of your garment.

After three washes, restore the water repellent properties with a waterproof spray or wash-in product.
How do I know if my clothing is breathable?
In addition to the breathability of the fabrics, we use technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh, etc.) that improve the overall air cooling of our jackets and trousers designed for Freeride skiing or All-mountain use. These ventilation systems regulate the temperature inside the garment while also helping to eliminate the perspiration generated by the body during physical activity.
What is the RECCO® system?
All our Freeride and All-Mountain jackets and trousers are equipped with the RECCO® system.
With 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 AVD. The RECCO® technology works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
Our team of designers is based at the foot of the Mont-Blanc, near many ski resorts in Haute-Savoie (France). All year round, we create and develop products that are simple and technologically advanced. These are then ruthlessly tested in the field, because we believe that the only way to continuously improve our products is to test them under the real-life conditions that you will experience in use.
