Women’s Freeride SKI JACKET FR100 - Grey

Hood over helmet designed to offer maximum protection ensuring freedom of movement.Adjustable to fit 3 sizes in a single movement, using a single tightening toggle located behind the head.Tightening on the wrist and cuffs to prevent air and snow from getting in.Tightening at the bottom of the jacket and snow skirt to also prevent air and snow from getting in.

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 remain light, breathable and warm.A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment needs to be reactivated during the lifetime of the garment when it is washed. 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. A fabric with a waterproof rating of 5000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by a 5000 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 fabric / 9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric / 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric / RET > 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 durable and often more breathable than a coating.

The waterproof properties of the garment are related to its fabric, seam sealing and assembly design.Using a waterproof ZIP or adding a flap to the zip (covers the zips with a waterproof fabric flap).

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.

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.

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 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.

At each wash, we recommend that you follow these guidelines to maintain the technical characteristics of your clothing.https://youtu.be/rh4GLwALgBMAfter three washes we recommend that you renew water repellence using either a spray or soaking treatment.
