Description

Design details

The FR500 jacket features RECCO® technology, which makes it easier to locate you in the event of an avalanche.
RECCO® technology is used in the majority of ski resorts and increases the chances of being located in the event of an avalanche. The reflector, which is built into the jacket, can be located by rescue services via a detector. This should not replace responsible behaviour or the use of an avalanche transceiver.
Practical and comprehensive accessories for all your outings.
- 2 hand pockets - 2 chest pockets (inside and outside) - 1 inside mesh pocket - Goggle wipe - 1 ski pass pocket - Snow skirt - Adjustable cuffs - Ventilation zips - Wristbands - 3D adjustable hood, compatible with helmet
Very good waterproofing (15,000mm Schmerber) and tested in real-life conditions.
The waterproof component and the assembly prevent water getting in. The seams are waterproof, and the zips are also waterproof and under a protective flap. This jacket has been tested in a special shower that reproduces the conditions of the ski resorts, and in the field for several days in different weather conditions.
Water repellent jacket, like all Quechua jackets.
A fabric's water-repellent property is its ability to let water slide off its surface without soaking in. The fabric doesn’t soak up water and so remains lightweight, breathable and warm. It is made from a treatment on the outside of the fabric, which must be renewed (every 3 washes).
This jacket provides warmth where you need it and when you need it.
Its 3-layer material features lightweight padding that provides warmth only where it's needed. This jacket is still lightweight: in very cold weather, wear a padded jacket or fleece underneath.
A breathable jacket to evacuate heat during periods of exertion.
The RET, or the evaporative resistance of the material (ISO 11092 standard), is 12. The lower this rating, the more water vapour generated by the body evaporates. RET < 9 = extremely breathable 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable 12 < RET < 20 = breathable RET > 20 = little or no breathability.
The FR500 FR jacket is designed with a 3-layer membrane.
This is a very thin polyurethane film that makes the material waterproof while remaining breathable. More flexible, lightweight, resistant and often more breathable than coating, which is less expensive and requires a protective lining, similar to paint applied to the inside of the fabric.
This product is repairable.
For the two years of guarantee, if your product can be repaired, the repairs (hooks, seams, zips, etc.) are done free of charge. Beyond this period, they can still be done for a fee, locally at your usual shop.
Weight.
Between 0.56 kg for the 2XS and 0.91 for the 2XKL. 0.71 kg in size M.
How should you dress under your ski jacket?
When skiing, we talk about the three-layer rule: A first thermal layer (ski base layer), a second layer (fleece or down jacket) and a third layer, your jacket. Adapt the second layer to suit the conditions, or take along a bag so you can take it off during the day.
How to restore the jacket's water-repellent properties?
The water-repellency of your jacket must be regularly reactivated (every three washes): over time, even if it remains waterproof thanks to its material, the jacket seems to start absorbing water. To do this, use a reactivating spray or a treatment reapplication product, and follow the tutorial in the customer service section of our website.
Wash and/or dry your ski/snowboard jacket: following a specific protocol, you can improve its lifespan.
Close the zips, loosen the ties and read the instructions on the label. You can use a tumble dryer or leave to air dry, and finish off by using the hair dryer for five minutes (the heat helps with waterproofing). Find tutorials on our YouTube channel or our after-sales service website.
