Design details

3D hood

We have added a hood to this One Piece with 3D tightening that’s easy to adjust in one movement. The fit of the hood is designed to follow your head movements without getting in your way. It is compatible with helmets. The hood is preformed with a high collar for protecting the face in case of intense cold or strong wind. The flap of the zip closure is micro-perforated to facilitate breathing while protecting the face.

Cuffs

Wide adjustable cuffs to wear over gloves to protect you from snow and keep you warm and dry. Elastane cuffs with a thumb loop providing a perfect seal between the gloves and the jacket.

Ventilation

To stay dry, it’s important to have a waterproof outfit. But you shouldn't end up wet with perspiration. The vents play an important role in wicking away perspiration. This is why we have equipped this one piece with 4 ventilation zips: two large zips under the arms (35 cm in size L). And 2 ventilation zips along the thighs.

Cut

The wide fit and pre-shaped sleeves are there to free up your movements so you can ski in complete freedom. The one piece design and light weight of the component guarantee fluidity and freedom of movement.

What should I wear under my One Piece?

To keep warm and dry, use the 3-breathable-layers rule: a ski base layer and a second layer liner jacket to retain warmth, a third layer to protect you from bad weather. The base layer keeps you dry by wicking away the perspiration from the skin to the other layers. The second layer provides warmth, as with down jackets or fleece sweaters. For the One Piece, this rule applies to both the top and the bottom.

Water repellency

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.

Component waterproofing

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 component with a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by 20,000 mm of water

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 akin to a paint applied inside the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that requires a lining to protect and make the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more robust and often more breathable than a coating.

How do we make a garment waterproof?

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

Waterproofness/Shower test

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.

How do we make a garment breathable?

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.

Your product is repairable

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.

What is the RECCO® system?

All our freeride ski 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.

To help you choose the right size

The model is wearing a size L and measures 180 cm. Measurements: Waist size: 85 cm Hip measurement: 100 cm Chest size: 100 cm

Tutorial on how to wash your waterproof garment

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/rh4GLwALgBM After three washes, restore the water repellent properties with a waterproof spray or wash-in product.

Mountain safety

Mountain safety for skiers and snowboarders who ride off-piste should not be taken lightly. It’s important to wear suitable safety equipment, such as a helmet, an avalanche transceiver, a shovel and a probe, and to practice using them regularly. Finally, it is important never to go off-piste on your own and to call on the services of a qualified mountain guide if necessary.
