Additional features
Adjustable waistband tightening with rip-tab.
Belt loop for added a belt if needed.
Elasticated snow gaiter.
2 large ventilation zips.
All the zips are waterproof.
3 pockets including one at the thigh with a mini pocket inside for your phone.
Water repellency
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 becoming waterlogged and remains light, 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.
Component's waterproof properties.
The resistance of a fabric is measured using water pressure expressed in water column mm (test based on ISO 811). 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

After three washes we recommend that you renew water repellence using either a spray or soaking treatment.
