TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Wadding thermal insulation
Thermal insulation will keep your young skiers at the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. The garment adapts to the body's physical activity and to the outside environment. Wedze uses wadding for insulation to keep the body warm. Wadding is a synthetic component made from polyester which stores more or less air, depending on the length of the fibres. The thicker the wadding, the more air it contains and the warmer it is.
Membrane
The membrane is a very fine component applied to the inner surface of the outer jacket fabric. This hydrophilic component prevents water from seeping in (snow, rain, etc.) while allowing the perspiration produced by the body to escape.
Fully taped seams
In addition to using a waterproof fabric, we have made this jacket even more watertight by taping the seams. Its adhesive and waterproof strips are affixed on all the seams of the product, inside the jacket, to make it perfectly watertight and guarantee complete water-resistance.
WATER-REPELLENT PROPERTIES
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.
Durability
Wedze knows how much energy is expended during a day's skiing. That’s why we take particular care when choosing all the elements that make up our products to guarantee the best possible resistance.
Snow skirt
The snow skirt is a protective system located at waist level. On this jacket, it closes automatically when the child fastens their ski jacket. It prevents snow and draughts from entering when practising winter sports, especially in the event of a fall.
Ski pass pocket
No need to get your ski pass out any longer! Your sleeve has a ski pass pocket so you can access the lifts quickly.
Customisation
There is a label at the top of the back lining on which you can write your child's name to personalise the product. Handy for finding their jacket after ski school, at the crèche or at school.
How should you dress your children to make sure they keep warm on the ski slopes?
To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-technical-layer rule: Layer 1 or 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 bad weather.

ProcessDope Dyed
Colour made by dyeing polyester chips, using less water than traditional methods
Dyeing textiles requires lots of water, whilst also generating water waste from the dyeing vats. To reduce the environmental impact this has, we have chosen solution dyeing, which integrates colour pigments when manufacturing the thread. This uses less water and therefore also leads to less water wastage.

MaterialRecycled polyester
Product is made of 69% recycled polyester
We have incorporated recycled polyester into this product (instead of conventional polyester, which is derived from petrochemical plastic). What does this mean? In addition to being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact: using recycled polyester means recovering and transforming products destined to be thrown away, such as production offcuts or plastic bottles, instead of using new oil resources.
