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 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 trousers, like all Quechua / Wedze skiing and snowboarding trousers.
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. Warmseat technology provides an additional layer on the buttocks to keep the cold out when sitting on the snow.
Breathable fabric so you can really push yourself.
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 snowboard trousers are made with a membrane component.
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.
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 fabric used, 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 and/or dry your ski trousers: following a specific protocol, you can improve its lifespan.
Close the zips, loosen the ties and read the instructions on the label. You can use a tumble dryer or leave to air dry, and finish off by using the hair dryer for five minutes (the heat helps with waterproofing).
