Women's Very Waterproof Salopette Ski Trousers FR900-Light Blue

This product is designed for maximum airtightness, which is why we decided to offer you salopettes.Around the waist, we have added a stretch component that gives great fluidity and reduces the usual waistband overlap in the mid section (base layer, trouser elastic, snow skirt, etc.)

Large side zip with special strap fitting on the women's model, to create a wide opening at the back for going to the bathroom so there is no need to touch the straps.No more trouble taking off a second layer jacket to go to the bathroom.Edge reinforcements in ultra-resistant material.Large side ventilation zip.Adjustable straps.

Three pockets: two pockets on the thighs secured with waterproof zips, including one with a mesh pocket for a mobile phone.A large centre front pocket that can be used for your AVD.

Preformed knees free up movement.We have designed these trousers with 2 components. One to guarantee good fluidity and freedom of movement, and the other for resistance to abrasion.

To keep warm and dry, use the 2 or 3 breathable-layers rule.In warmer weather, 1 breathable skiing base layer is perfect to provide comfort, a bit of warmth and good perspiration wicking.If it’s a bit colder, our FR900 lower base-layer is perfect to provide a bit more warmth, especially in the right places.In colder weather, you can combine several layers, while retaining good breathability

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its ability to make water run off its surface without absorbing it. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged and remains light, breathable and warm. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes). All Wedze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.

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. For example, a fabric with a waterproof rating of 15000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 15000 mm column of water

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 fabric9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabricRET > 20 = little or no breathability.

The coating is akin to a paint applied inside the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane and requires a liner to protect it. 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 resistant and often more breathable than a coating.

The waterproof properties of the garment are related to its fabric, seam sealing and assembly design.We then carry out shower tests on our garments.

This garment has been validated in a shower test under 100 L of water / sqm / hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain storm.

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.

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.

All our Freeride 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 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.

We recommend that you follow these guidelines at every wash in order to retain all the technical features of your garment.Link: https://youtu.be/rh4GLwALgBMAfter three washes, restore the water repellent properties with a waterproof spray or wash-in product.
