Ziprotec technology allows you to zip the back protector directly to your jacket.
Protection that isn’t worn is protection that isn’t doing its job: that’s why we create technologies that make them less cumbersome, more comfortable and practical. This is the case with the Ziprotec system, which allows you to zip your back protector directly to your jacket.

Highly waterproof (10,000 mm Schmerbers) 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 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 warm jacket without compromising on breathability.
Warmth is delivered where and when it's needed. It has 80 g/sqm of wadding on the body section and 60 g/sqm on the arms and the hood. There are tightenings at the hem of the jacket, around the cuffs and by the hood, which prevents air, and therefore the cold, from getting in.
A breathable jacket to evacuate heat during periods of exertion.
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 SNB 100 jacket is made with a coated material.
The coating is similar to that of a paint applied inside the fabric that makes the fabric waterproof, while still remaining breathable. It is often less expensive than a membrane and requires a liner to protect it.
This product is repairable.
For the two years of guarantee, if your product can be repaired, the repairs (hooks, seams, zips, etc.) are done free of charge. Beyond this period, they can still be done for a fee, locally at your usual shop.

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.
