TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
3D HOOD AND FACE PROTECTION
We added a 3D hood with automatic tightening to this ski jacket. It moves with your kids’ head without obstructing it to provide better protection against 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.
AIRTIGHT
AT THE CUFFS:
Wide, adjustable sleeves designed to fit over gloves. Elastane cuffs providing a perfect seal between the gloves and the jacket.
AT THE WAIST:
The automatic snow skirt prevents snow and draughts from entering when practising wintersports, and especially in the event of a fall. It is ideally combined with the BIB PROTECT salopettes to provide great protection for young freeriders.
Water repellency
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to allow water to run off its surface without seeping in. Our jackets have water-repellent components that prolong their bad weather resistance. This is an additional technical solution for staying dry for as long as possible! You should repeat this treatment regularly using the products sold in our stores to maintain these properties.
Component waterproofing
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 5000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 5000 mm column of water
Breathability of a component
To find out if a fabric is breathable, we measure its total evaporative resistance RET (test based on the ISO 11092 standard). This is the capacity of the ski jacket to allow the water vapour produced by the body to escape during physical activity so that you stay dry. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric.
For example:
RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric
/ 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric /
12 < RET
< 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 20 = little or no breathability
How do we make a garment waterproof?
The waterproof properties of the garment are related to its fabric, seam sealing and assembly design.
Using a waterproof ZIP or adding a flap to the zip (covers the zips with a waterproof fabric flap).
How do we make a garment breathable?
In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we employ technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh) improving the overall ventilation of our jackets and trousers designed for Freeride skiing. 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 difference between a membrane and a coating?
This jacket has a membrane: it’s a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. More flexible, lightweight, durable & often more breathable than a coating, which is similar to a layer of paint applied to the inside the fabric making the component waterproof while remaining breathable.It makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane and requires a lining for protection.
Your product is repairable
This product is repairable.
We commit to repairing your product free of charge for the duration of the warranty. Whatever it is, fixings, seams, zips, etc. This service is offered in your usual store.
If, however, we can’t repair your product (non-repairable production defect), you can exchange it or get a refund.
What is the RECCO® system?
With RECCO® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. Someone who is buried in the snow can be quickly and accurately located by the emergency services using the RECCO® tracker and reflectors. 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. All our Freeride jackets and trousers are equipped with the RECCO system.

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.
