Limiting snow entry
This snowboard jacket is designed to limit the entry of snow:
_ in the back: snow skirt + long cut so you can sit on it,
_ at the wrists (very exposed area): long sleeves + sleeves equipped with thumb loops to prevent the entry of snow,
_ the neck: collar with a gusset that goes up high / hood with a Velcro fastening to keep it rolled up in a high position, and protecting the neck
The hood can also be put over the helmet.
Heat
For warmth, this jacket has 2 different waddings to perfectly meet the need for warmth:
_ 150 g/m² for the body, with an additional fleece lining,
_ 100 g/m² for the sleeves.
Waterproofing
In addition to the waterproof fabric, we reinforce the waterproofing of this 500 snowboard jacket with waterproof seams. These are heat-glued, waterproof strips applied to the seams inside the garment to make it perfectly waterproof. For this product, 100% of the seams are waterproof.
Why is my jacket water-repellent?
The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it, thanks to a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. The fabric does not become waterlogged, and remains light and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the product's lifetime, after an average of 2 to 3 washes, using products available in our stores. All the waterproof jackets we offer snowboarders are water-repellent.
5 pockets
This snowboard jacket is designed for regular to intensive snowboarding, so it has all the necessary pockets:
_ 2 side pockets secured by zip fastener,
_ 1 outside chest pocket secured by zip fastener,
_ 1 inside chest pocket secured by zip fastener, equipped with an output for headphones,
_ 1 ski pass pocket on left sleeve secured by zip fastener.
Hood rolled up under helmet
When snowboarding, snow can get inside the jacket. To keep this unpleasant experience to a minimum, the collar and hood have been designed to work together.
For the hood to act as a scarf and prevent snow from entering, the hood must be folded in 4 and the Velcro fastened so that it stays upright and fills the gap under the helmet.
The collar should be closed normally, all the way to the top to tighten the whole thing.
Hood over helmet
The hood of this jacket is designed to be placed over the helmet, in case of strong winds, heavy snowfall, etc.
In this position, open the collar of the jacket by about 10 cm, place the hood over the helmet and simply close the collar with the gusset (Velcro fastening). The gusset creates a sheltered area for the mouth and nose.
