Good waterproofing (15,000 mm Schmerbers), 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.

During the two-year guarantee period, if your product can be repaired (hooks, seams, zips, etc.), the repairs are done free of charge. Beyond this time period, they can still be done for a fee, locally in your usual shop.

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 if it remains waterproof thanks to its material, the jacket 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.

Wash alone.

Wash as delicate.

Wash inside out.

Do not use fabric softener.

Wash with zip closed.

Storage advice

Store on a hanger and do not fold, as this can damage the fabric's water-resistance. Dry thoroughly before storing in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Test

All Quechua / Wedze products are tested in the laboratory, as well as in the real-life conditions for which they were designed: in the snow, in the cold, and in all possible conditions you may come across when skiing and snowboarding.
