Men's 500 AM waterproof and breathable ski and snowboard trousers - brown

These ski trousers are designed for opportunistic skiers who never miss a chance to hit the slopes after fresh flurry of snow.

waterproof

15,000 mm waterproof fabric, waterproof zips, 100% waterproof seams.

warmth

60g/m² wadding, comfort temperature rating of -6°.

breathability

The RET < 12 and large ventilation zips make the trousers very breathable.

The 500 AM trousers are equipped with RECCO® technology to improve search and rescue in the event of an avalanche.

RECCO® technology is used in the majority of ski resorts and increases the chances of being located in the event of an avalanche. The reflector, which is built into the jacket, can be located by rescue services via a detector. Although they do the same job, they should not replace an avalanche transceiver.

Highly waterproof (15,000mm Schmerber) and 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 pants, like all Quechua / Wedze ski and snowboard pants.

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).

Warm trousers without compromising on breathability.

The trousers are padded with 60g/m² wadding: just enough to keep you warm without being too thick.

Breathable fabric and ventilation (essential for good breathability).

The RET, or the evaporative resistance of the material (ISO 11092 standard), is 12. 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 AM ski trousers are made 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.

What should you wear under your ski trousers?

You don't need to wear anything under these padded trousers. However, in very cold weather, you can wear a breathable thermal base layer (known as a layer 1).

How can you reactivate the water repellency of your ski trousers?

The water repellency of your trousers should be reactivated regularly (every 3 washes): over time, even though they remain waterproof thanks to the component, they seem 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 at 30°C.

Wash as delicate.

Wash inside out.

Do not use fabric softener.

Wash with zip closed.

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.
