WEDZE Men’s Ski Salopettes – FR900

Our teams, supported by freeriders, developed these trousers to protect you from bad weather. Guaranteed comfort all season longMaximum protection with absolute airtightness and comfort. No tightening at the waistband for greater freedom. To try it is to love it!

Product information

This product is designed for maximum airtightness, which is why we decided to offer you salopettes.
Around the waist, we have added a stretch component that gives great fluidity and reduces the usual waistband overlap in the mid section (base layer, trouser elastic, snow skirt, etc.).
To try it is to love it!

Additional features

Large side zip that creates a wide opening at the back, useful when going to the toilet so that you don’t have to get completely undressed.
Edge reinforcements in ultra-resistant material.
Large side ventilation zip.
Adjustable straps.

Pockets

Three pockets:
Two pockets on the thighs secured with waterproof zips, including one with a mesh pocket for a mobile phone.
A large centre front pocket that can be used for your AVD.

Cut

Preformed knees free up movement.
We have designed these trousers with 2 components: one to guarantee good fluidity and freedom of movement, and the other for resistance to abrasion.

What should you wear under your ski trousers?

To keep warm and dry, use the 2 or 3 breathable-layers rule.
In warmer weather, a breathable ski base layer will be perfect for comfort, a bit of warmth and good perspiration wicking.
If it is a bit colder, our FR900 under-shorts will be perfect for a bit more warmth, especially in the right places.
In more intense cold, you can combine the two layers while retaining good breathability.

Water repellency

Water-repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from becoming waterlogged and remains light, breathable and warm. A fabric is made water-repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment (we recommend every 3 washes). All Wedze jackets have received a water-repellent treatment.

Component’s waterproof properties.

The resistance of a fabric is measured by the height of a water column in mm that can be supported by the fabric (test based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. A component with a waterproof rating of 15,000 mm is therefore resistant to the pressure exerted by 15,000 mm of water

Breathability of a component.

To find out whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard).
The lower the fabric’s resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity can escape and the higher the fabric’s breathability.
For example:
RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric
9 < RET < 12 = very breathable fabric
12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric
RET > 20 = little or no breathability.

What is a membrane or coated component?

The coating is akin to a paint applied inside the fabric that makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. The membrane is a kind of very thin plastic film (polyurethane) that requires a lining for protection and makes the component waterproof while remaining breathable. It has the advantage of being more flexible, lighter, more durable and often more breathable than a coating.

How do we make a garment waterproof?

The waterproofing of the garment is related to its fabric, seam sealing, and assembly design.
We then carry out shower tests on our garments.

Waterproofness/Shower test

This garment has been validated in a shower test under 100 L of water / sqm / hour for 3 hours. This test reproduces the conditions of a heavy mountain storm.

How do we make a garment breathable?

In addition to the breathability of the fabrics used, we employ technical solutions (zips, vents, mesh) improving the overall ventilation of our jackets and trousers designed for Freeride skiing. These ventilation systems regulate the temperature inside the garment while also helping to eliminate the perspiration generated by the body during physical activity.

Your product is repairable

This product is repairable.
We commit to repairing your product free of charge for the duration of the warranty. Whatever it is, fixings, seams, zips, etc. This service is offered in your usual store.
If, however, we can’t repair your product (non-repairable production defect), you can exchange it or get a refund.

What is the RECCO® system?

All our Freeride jackets and trousers are equipped with the RECCO® system.
With RECCO® technology, you can be located in the event of an avalanche. Someone who is buried in the snow can be quickly and accurately located by the emergency services using the RECCO® tracker and reflectors. RECCO reflectors are not a substitute for an AVD. The RECCO® technology works as a complementary measure, increasing the chances of being found in time.

Tutorial on how to wash your waterproof garment

We recommend that you follow these guidelines at every wash in order to retain all the technical features of your garment.
