Our actions towards more environmentally-friendly design
We know the impact our sport has on the environment and we are dedicated to reducing the impact of our products as much as possible in order to protect our playing field. This vest was developed with the following features:
- 100% recycled outer component (except coating)
- 70% recycled wadding
- Fluoride-free main material
-Dope-dyed yarn lining
What is Dope Dyeing?
Dyeing textiles uses lots of water, chemical products and energy. However, we enjoy wearing colour. To reduce this impact, we use the “Dope Dyed” technique where powder colour pigments are added when the yarn is produced (and not by soaking it in dye baths as is usually the case). This reduces consumption and the discharge of waste water from colouring our fabrics.
What we're not doing so well when it comes to our environmental impact
Despite our efforts, it's not always easy to reduce our impact as much as we would like. For this product, we are striving to:
- Use a dope dyeing process for all components.
- Finding out how to waterproof a product using a lower impact solution
- Making the coating separable (or the same chemical composition) to facilitate recycling of the product
Can I compare the products' environmental impact?
The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle and using various indicators. A score from A to E is given to help you easily identify the more eco-friendly products by comparing products of a similar type. Decathlon actively promotes this initiative:

Can I be sure my jacket will give me proper protection in bad weather?
To withstand bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.), the jacket has been developed with a component and assembly that keep the water out and reduce wind chill. The waterproof rating is measured by placing the product in a special shower that replicates the real-life conditions encountered by snowboarders during use. Finally, we have spent a few days snowboarding, in all conditions, to validate the waterproofing of the product.
Water often gets in through the seams. Does my jacket have taped seams?
In addition to the waterproof fabric, we reinforce the waterproofing of the jacket with taped seams. These are waterproof, adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. All the product's seams are taped.
What is the water repellent feature of my jacket for?
The water-repellent feature makes water run off the fabric without seeping in thanks to a treatment applied to its outer surface. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the life of the product, after 2 to 3 washes on average, using the products available in our stores. All the waterproof jackets that we design for snowboarders are water-repellent.
"Coated" jacket: what are the advantages of this coating?
A breathable coating is a coating applied to a fabric in the form of a paste or liquid which creates a protective film. The breathable coating is a waterproof barrier that lets through water vapour produced by the body when snowboarding.
How will my jacket keep me warm?
To keep you warm, we use wadding insulation. Wadding is a synthetic component made from polyester which stores more or less air, depending on the length of the fibres. Wadding can be standard, hi-tech or silicone-coated, each with different properties (warmth, low weight, elasticity, etc.)
How should I dress to avoid getting cold in the mountains?
To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-technical-layer rule:
- Layer 1 or a second skin, to stay dry.
- Layer 2 or an insulating layer, to keep the heat in.
- Layer 3 or a protective layer to protect against the elements.
How can I stop snow from getting in my jacket?
Our jackets have elasticated snow skirts that can be adjusted at the waist. If you fall or are in fresh snow, the seal keeps the snow out.
How to wash my jacket?
To optimise your jacket's performance and durability, we advise the following:
* Machine wash at 30°, synthetic programme.
* Turn the product inside out.
* Add a small amount of detergent. No softener.
* We recommend you wring it by hand.
* Dry on a hanger in a warm, well-ventilated place.
Do not dry clean. Do not place on a radiator.
You can restore the water resistance of the outer fabric using a fabric waterproofing spray. Read the care label.
Tips for storage and maintenance
Machine wash - 30° max - gentle
Do not bleach
Tumble dry - low heat
Do not iron
Do not dry-clean
Storage tips
Store on a hanger and do not fold, as this can damage the fabric coating. Dry thoroughly before storing in a dry and well-ventilated place.
