Softshell ski jacket for the young competitor. Comfort and warmth during intensive training sessions.The lining, membrane and waterproof zip on this jacket keep you warm and dry. Elasticity for a slim fit and optimal freedom of movement.

What type of fit is the jacket?

Slim fit. The inner volume allows this jacket to be worn with back protection and with a ski suit with arm protection.

What is a membrane and what’s it for?

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 while wicking away the perspiration produced by the body. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to staying warm and dry.

How is the water resistance of a jacket measured?

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. For example, a component with 2000 mm waterproofing resists the pressure exercised by 2000 mm of water (which corresponds approximately to a two-hour shower).

Which parts of the jacket protect me from bad weather?

This jacket has been developed using a robust component and rigorous assembly process that limit wind chill and stop water seeping in.

Why is water-repellency needed?

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.

How to restore the water-repellent properties ?

Bear in mind that the water-repellent feature can be reactivated. To do this, put the jacket in the dryer on a synthetic programme for 10 to 15 minutes.
You can also use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores).
