About waterproof function

Water resistance / Water pressure

This is a function that prevents water and snow from penetrating into the garment, and is expressed in [water pressure resistance].
Water pressure resistance is measured by stretching the fabric at the bottom of a tube, filling it with water, and measuring the height of the water surface when water droplets ooze out.
The unit is expressed in "mm".
The higher this number is, the more waterproof it is.
For men's ski wear, it can be said to be comfortable and safe to wear if it is more than 10.000mm.
In fact, there are some high performance products available from various manufacturers that are 10,000-20,000mm, but you should consider that the number is proportional to the price.
The higher the price, the better the functionality.
It is very simple.

 

 

Importance of moisture permeability & heat retention

Moisture permeability

Moisture permeability is the ability to expel moisture such as sweat and water vapor to the outside.
Moisture permeability is a numerical value that measures how many grams of water can be let out per square meter of fabric in 24 hours.
Sweat and steam are very hard on the body.
Removing this burden and discomfort is a very important point.
It is said that if there is at least 5,000 to 8,000 g/square meter for 24 hours, it is difficult to get steamed.
If it is not sticky and it aims at the level of further comfort, 10,000g or more is wanted.

Heat retention

Heat retention is the property of retaining temperature, which prevents the body heat from escaping.
There are two ways to retain heat in ski wear.
There are two ways to retain heat in ski wear: one using a material that generates heat in response to sweat or body heat, and the other using a heat retention effect that traps body heat inside the wear.
There is a slight difference in heat retention, so if you check carefully before purchasing, you will be able to stay warm longer.

 

 

How to choose the right size (the size that fits your body)

Always try on ski wear before you buy it.
This is the key to choosing the right size.
Please refer to the following for a brief summary.

How to choose Ski jackets

When choosing ski wear, you can use the same size as your regular wear.
The sportswear standard JASPO, which was revised in 1996, stipulates that men's and unisex sizes M should be 167-173cm[65-68inch].
The recommended length is such that the wrists do not stick out when the hands are stretched out, and the back side does not get pinched when the hands are crossed in front.
For men, make sure the chest area is not too tight.
The coldness varies depending on the weather and the location of the slope, so be sure to choose a size that is easy to layer and that allows you to wear one extra layer!

How to choose Ski pants

Choosing a pant size requires a bit of fine-tuning.
The hem should be long enough to cover your ankles and just above your heels, but not so long that it catches on your bindings.
If you have boots to try on, please use them.
If you have boots to try on, use them.
