- Good waterproofing (10,000 mm Schmerber), 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).
- A jacket that provides just the right amount of warmth for a day on the slopes.In addition to the jacket's padding, the waterproof zips, snow skirt, collar, adjustable hood and adjustable cuffs provide extra insulation from the cold.
- A breathable jacket to evacuate heat during periods of exertion.The RET, or the evaporative resistance of the material (ISO 11092 standard), is 11. 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 500 jacket is designed with a membrane component.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.Beyond the warranty period (2 years), your product will still be repairable (seams, zips, etc.). During the warranty period, we will carry out repairs free of charge. These solutions are available at your nearest store.
- Weight.Between 0.9 kg for the S and 1.15 kg for the 2XL. 1.02 kg in size L.
- 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 though it remains waterproof thanks to the component, it 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. Use a tumble dryer set to a synthetic cycle to restore the fibres. If you don't have a tumble dryer, you can find tutorials on our YouTube channel or our after-sales website.

Ecodesign approach

Using this finishing process enables us to reduce CO2 emissions linked to the production of undyed textiles by at least 53% compared to conventional dyeing.

Using this mass-dyeing process enables us to reduce CO2 emissions linked to the production of dyed textiles by at least 17% compared to conventional dyeing.

Using recycled polyester rather than conventional polyester reduces the CO2 emissions linked to the material by at least 17%.
