How waterproof is a snowboard jacket?

The waterproofness of a snowboard jacket is measured in millimeters of water column (mm). The higher the number of mm, the more water pressure the jacket can withstand. Most snowboard jackets have a waterproof rating between 5,000 mm and 20,000 mm.

How can I check if my snowboard jacket is still waterproof?

To check if your snowboard jacket is still waterproof, you can drop a droplet of water on the outside of the jacket. If the water beads up and rolls off the jacket, the waterproof coating is still intact.

Are all snowboard jackets insulated?

No, not all snowboard jackets are insulated. There are insulated jackets with built-in warmth and shell jackets without insulation, which are ideal for use in warmer conditions or for those who prefer to choose their own layers.

Are snowboard jackets windproof?

Yes, most snowboard jackets have a windproof feature, which is essential to keep you warm and comfortable while snowboarding in cold and windy conditions.

What is the difference between a snowboard jacket and a ski jacket?

Although both jackets have similar features, snowboard jackets are usually slightly longer and looser in fit to provide more freedom of movement during snowboarding. Ski jackets are often more tailored and shorter in length.

Where should a good snowboard jacket meet?

A good snowboard jacket is an essential part of your winter sports equipment. It provides protection against the cold, wind and snow, while also needing to be breathable to wick away excess heat and moisture. Here are some important features a good snowboard jacket should have:

  1. Waterproofing: A high level of waterproofing is crucial to keep you dry in snow and rain. Look at the hydrostatic head (water column) value — the higher the number, the better the snowboard jacket resists water.
  2. Breathability: A good snowboard jacket should also be breathable so excess heat and sweat can escape. This keeps you comfortable and dry while snowboarding.
  3. Insulation: Depending on the climate and your personal preferences, you can choose a jacket with synthetic or down insulation. Make sure the insulation provides enough warmth for the conditions in which you will be snowboarding.
  4. Windproofing: A windproof snowboard jacket protects you from cold wind while descending the mountain.
  5. Snow skirt: A built-in powder skirt prevents snow from getting into your jacket if you fall or go off-piste.
  6. Adjustable hood: A hood is useful for extra protection against wind and snow and should be adjustable so you can fit it well over your helmet.
  7. Adequate pockets: Handy zippered pockets are ideal for storing your lift pass, phone, money and other small essentials.
  8. Durability: Choose a snowboard jacket made from high-quality materials that withstand wear and tears.

By paying attention to these features you can find a good snowboard jacket that protects you from the elements and provides a comfortable and enjoyable snowboarding experience.

Waterproof snowboard jacket

The hydrostatic head of a snowboard jacket indicates how waterproof the jacket is. The higher the value in 'mm', the more waterproof the fabric of the jacket is. Especially if you frequently ride in powder, it is important to have a snowboard jacket with a minimum hydrostatic head of 10,000 mm. Also check whether the seams of the jacket are fully taped. This prevents water or moisture from seeping in through the seams. A good waterproof snowboard jacket is also recognizable by waterproof zippers.

What does a well-breathing snowboard jacket mean?

A well-breathing snowboard jacket is able to transport moisture and heat from the inside to the outside, keeping your body dry and comfortable while snowboarding. This is especially important because you often sweat and produce excess heat while snowboarding, which can lead to a clammy and uncomfortable feeling if the moisture cannot escape.
A jacket with high breathability uses advanced materials and technologies to promote this moisture management. Usually a waterproof and breathable membrane, such as Gore-Tex, is used to construct the outer layer of the jacket. This membrane has microscopic pores that block liquid water molecules while allowing water vapor (sweat) to pass through.
A well-breathing snowboard jacket therefore prevents you from overheating and helps regulate your body temperature, allowing you to snowboard comfortably for longer, even in challenging conditions.
