Can I be sure my trousers will protect me well in bad weather?To face different weather (rain, snow, wind...), the FREE 900 trousers have been developed and produced using a special component to prevent water from entering. To check that they are efficiently 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?Water repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. Wed’ze trousers have water resistant materials to prolong their resistance to bad weather and to prevent water from getting into the trousers. It is an additional technical solution to make sure you stay dry 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 a waterproof "substance" that is spread on the inner side of the fabric. 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 the Free 900 jacket more waterproof. 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 perspiration. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to staying warm and dry.
-
How will my ski trousers keep me warm?We use feather insulation to maintain heat in the integrated shorts. Feathers are a natural material with superior warming properties
-
What are "breathable" trousers?It's the ski trousers' ability to let moisture produced during exercise escape to the outside, in order to keep you dry. To find out if a fabric is breathable, its evaporative resistance, called RET (standardized 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 (+ the down shorts). Your ski undergarment and your trousers. Your ski trousers protect you from bad weather. 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. Trousers often have small eyelets at the waist to which you can attach the jacket's snow skirt. So you will prevent snow and air from entering during practice and especially in case of falling.
-
Can I compare the products' environmental impact?"The product's environmental impacts are calculated across its entire life cycle using various indicators. A score of A, B, C, D or E is made to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of a similar type (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks). For Decathlon, this initiative to display environmental data is a priority. Explanatory video: https://youtu.be/8t63KkRwn_8 sustainability.decathlon.com"

Built-in Recco systemWith the 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 avalanche beacon. The RECCO technology has a complementary function, thereby increasing the chances of being found in time.
