WATERPROOF COMPONENT

We measure a fabric's resistance to a water column, in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the water pressure withstood, the more watertight the fabric. Components scoring 2000 mm can resist the pressure from 2000 mm of water (roughly equivalent to a rain shower lasting 2 hours).

WATERPROOF MEMBRANE

This ski glove integrates a waterproof membrane which consists of a very thin film of polymer placed between the lining and the part of the glove which is in contact with the outside. This membrane is a barrier to water and makes the product fully waterproof. Complimenting this, the external materials of the product benefit from a water-repellent treatment, limiting water absorption.

BREATHABLE COATING

A breathable coating means that the surface is coated with a paste or liquid. Once applied to a fabric, it creates a protective layer often used as a waterproof barrier that wicks away water vapour.

WATER REPELLENT COMPONENT

All Wed'ze gloves have a water-resistant feature that prevents the fabric from absorbing water, but to let it slide over the surface. Consequently, the fabric does not soak up the water. It remains lightweight and warm. The fabric is made water repellent by treating its outer surface. This treatment must be restored every 2 to 3 washes with the waterproofing products available in our stores.

WINDPROOF

All Wed’ze gloves are “wind-breaking”. Did you know that wind makes you feel colder? With an outside temperature of 0°C and a wind of 20 km/h, the sensed temperature is -10°C. The ""windbreaker"" components reduce the cooling effects related to wind or the relative speed of sporting activity.

EASY ON

Simply pull the wrist-strap inwards for speedy adjustment. All of the Wed’ze glove and mitten models for children have this strap, except for the FIRSTHEAT mittens.

LOSS PREVENTION

An elastic strap, called a “leash”, goes around the wrist, allowing you to remove your gloves or mittens on the ski lifts without the risk of losing them.

A preformed glove that offers both optimum grip and comfort. Thanks to its waterproof insert you will be able to go skiing with total peace of mind!
