Design details

What type of padding is used to provide warmth?

Recognised for their excellent thermal insulation, down and feathers also offer an excellent ratio of warmth to weight and compression. The warmth comes from the combination of the weight of the down/feathers and the fill power of the jacket. This helps to trap air and insulate you from the cold. (Padding 75% down and 25% feathers in the body, recycled 200g/sqm wadding on the shoulders).

Which components are added to the padding give it warmth?

In addition to your jacket's lining, the cuffs, snow skirt, waterproof zips, high collar and hood adjustments keep the warm air inside and prevent cold air from getting inside.

What is a membrane and what's it for?

The membrane is a very thin component applied to the inner surface of the outer fabric. This hydrophilic component prevents water from seeping in while wicking away the perspiration produced by the body. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to staying warm and dry.

How is the water resistance of a jacket measured?

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 the fabric is waterproof. A component with a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm can therefore withstand the pressure exerted by a 10,000 mm column of water.

Which parts of the jacket protect me from bad weather?

The jacket 900 has been developed with a rigorous component and assembly, which block the passage of water and limit the wind chill factor so that you can better cope with bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To validate its waterproof rating, this jacket was tested under a special shower that replicates the conditions skiers have to face. We validated the waterproofing of this product in the field in various weather conditions for several days.

What is the water repellent feature of my jacket for?

The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to allow water to run off its surface without seeping in. This jacket features water-repellent components that extend its weather resistance. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface. However, this property may deteriorate with use.

How can you reactivate the water-repellency of your jacket?

Bear in mind that the water repellent feature can be reactivated. To do this, you can use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly over the entire garment, then leave it to dry for 10 to 12 hours).

What is a "breathable" jacket?

This garment wicks away the water vapour produced by your body when exercising. To see if a fabric is breathable, its resistance to evaporative heat (RET) is measured in a standardised ISO 11092 test. The lower the RET, the more breathable the fabric. The 900 jacket has an RET of 12. However, it is the technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh) that Wedze uses, which reduce the condensation inside the garment and maximise breathability.

What is the fit of the 900 jacket?

REGULAR fit. The jacket has sides that fall straight and remain parallel rather than trying to follow the shape of your body. The interior volume means this jacket can be worn in combination with a first and second technical layer.

How to dress to stay warm on the slopes?

To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-technical-layer rule: - Layer 1 or a second skin, to stay dry. - Layer 2 or an insulating layer, to keep the heat in. - Layer 3 or a protective layer to protect against the elements. Because the 900 Warm jacket is very warm, we would only advise you to wear it with a second layer in case of extreme cold.

How can I prevent snow from getting in when I fall?

The snow skirt is a protection system at waist level that closes with press studs at the bottom of the ski or snowboard jacket. The snow skirt (which is automatic), as well as the adjustable cuffs, prevent the entry of snow and draughts during practice and especially in case of a fall.

How to wash my jacket?

* Close all the zips on the quilted jacket * Turn it inside out * Machine wash at 30°, delicate programme with little detergent & without fabric softener. Important: set to a very gently spin cycle (less than 800 rev/min): too strong a spin could create feather balls that are difficult to undo * Put 2 clean, ideally white, tennis balls in the drum of the washing machine. * Perform a 2nd or 3rd rinse cycle to make sure that any washing product that remains from the previous wash has been eliminated

How to dry my jacket?

Dry in a tumble dryer (strongly recommended) * Use a gentle or delicate programme. * Dry on several long cycles to dry completely. * Between 2 cycles, shake the down to break up the clumps of feathers which form during washing. If you do not have a tumble dryer, the process is longer. (drying can take 1 to 2 weeks on a dry and flat place). Make sure you pat the jacket to avoid feather balls (at least 4-5 times)

Where do the feathers come from?

Thanks to our traceability system, we can guarantee the origin of the feathers in accordance with our commitment to use responsible materials. Our suppliers are committed to using only feathers that come from ducks that are raised for their meat and plucked after slaughter. http://developpement-durable.decathlon.com/faq/
