Product feature

What is the purpose of the water repellent treatment?
The water repellent property of a fabric is its ability to enable water to run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from absorbing water so that it stays lightweight, breathable and warm. The water-repellent property is obtained by applying a treatment to the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be reactivated during the lifetime of the garment when it is washed. All Wed’ze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.
Tutorial on how to wash your waterproof garment
At each wash, we recommend that you follow these guidelines to maintain the technical characteristics of your clothing. https://youtu.be/rh4GLwALgBM After three washes we recommend that you renew water repellence using either a spray or soaking treatment.
What is a membrane or coated component?
The coating is like paint applied to the inside of the fabric making the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less costly than a membrane, and requires a lining for protection. 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 durable and often more breathable than a coating.
What is the 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.
How is the waterproofness of the fabric measured?
The resistance of a fabric to water pressure is expressed in mm of a water column (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 8000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 8000 mm column of water
How do we make a garment waterproof?
In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we use technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh, etc.) that improve the overall ventilation 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.
How do I know if my clothing is breathable?
In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we use technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh, etc.) that improve the overall ventilation our jackets and trousers designed for Freeriding 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.
Product environmental impact comparison score
The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifespan, using various indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks etc.) Decathlon is committed to displaying the environmental information of its products.

What is the RECCO system®?
All our Freeride and All-Mountain jackets and trousers are equipped with the RECCO® system. With 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 works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time.
