What features should I look for in a snowboard jacket?

Look for waterproofing, breathability, and insulation suited to your climate. Key features include adjustable cuffs, snow skirts, underarm vents, helmet-compatible hoods, and plenty of pockets for essentials. Jacket-to-pant attachment systems and durable zippers also enhance comfort and protection on the slopes.

How is a snowboard jacket different from a ski jacket?

Snowboard jackets often have a looser, longer fit for freedom of movement and extra coverage when sitting in the snow. They typically feature snow skirts, stretch fabrics, and more pockets for convenience, while ski jackets tend to be slimmer and more tailored for speed and aerodynamics.

Should I choose an insulated or shell snowboard jacket?

Insulated jackets provide built-in warmth and are ideal for colder days or those who prefer fewer layers. Shell jackets are lighter and more versatile, offering protection from wind and snow while allowing you to layer underneath for customisable warmth, making them suitable for varying conditions.

How important is breathability in a snowboard jacket?

Breathability is crucial, as snowboarding is physically demanding and can cause you to overheat. A breathable jacket helps release excess heat and moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the day. Look for jackets with underarm vents and high breathability ratings for optimal performance.

What waterproof rating should a snowboard jacket have?

A good snowboard jacket should have a waterproof rating of at least 10,000mm to protect against snow, rain, and wet conditions. Higher ratings offer better protection, especially in extreme weather. Breathability should also be above 10,000g to ensure moisture can escape while keeping you dry.

Why is the fit of a snowboard jacket important?

A regular to loose fit allows for layering and unrestricted movement, which is essential for comfort and flexibility on the mountain. Longer jackets provide added protection when sitting in snow, while adjustable features ensure a secure, personalised fit for all-day riding.

What are snow skirts and jacket-to-pant attachments?

Snow skirts (powder skirts) are internal barriers that prevent snow from entering the bottom of your jacket. Jacket-to-pant attachments connect your jacket to your pants, creating a seal that keeps warmth in and snow out, especially useful in deep powder conditions.
