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 movement and the outside environment. Wed'ze uses wadding for insulation to keep the body warm. This synthetic wadding containing polyester stores more or less air, depending on the size of the fibres. So the thicker the wadding, the more air it contains, and the warmer it is.
What is water repellency?
A water repellent fabric allows water to glide over its surface without absorbing it: so the textile does not absorb water and remains light and breathable. You will see water droplets form and stream off the fabric’s surface. The water repellent properties are obtained by treating the outer surface of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed during the garment’s lifetime (every 3 washes). All Wed'ze ski jackets have a water repellent treatment.
How to reactivate the water-repellent properties of a ski jacket/trousers?
To reactivate the water repellency of a ski jacket, we recommend you wash your garment inside out on a synthetic cycle at 30°C with abundant rinsing. You can use your usual washing powder but no fabric softener. Then let your jacket dry completely in the open air, flat on a drying rack. Finally, turn your garment the right way around, and put it in the tumble dryer, on low heat for 10 minutes. The heat will reactivate the fabric’s water repellent properties.
Ski pass pocket
You no longer need to get out your ski pass! Your sleeve has a ski pass pocket so you can access the lifts quickly.
Customisation
There's a label at the top of the back lining on which you can write your child's name to personalise the product. A useful tip to help find your jacket when attending skiing lessons, nursery or school.
A score to compare products' environmental footprint
The product's environmental footprint is calculated for its entire life and with various indicators. An overall score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the most eco-friendly products by comparing products of the same type (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.).
