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.

What should a good snowboard jacket meet?

A good snowboard jacket is an essential part of your winter sports gear. It provides protection against the cold, wind, and snow, while also being breathable to vent excess heat and moisture. Here are some key features that a good snowboard jacket should have:

  1. Waterproofing: A high level of waterproofing is crucial to keep you dry in snow and rain. Look for the water column value; the higher the number, the more water-resistant the snowboard jacket is.
  2. Breathability: A good snowboard jacket should also be breathable, allowing excess heat and sweat to 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. Ensure the insulation provides sufficient warmth for the conditions in which you will be snowboarding.
  4. Windproofing: A windproof snowboard jacket protects you from cold winds while descending the mountain.
  5. Snow skirt: An integrated snow skirt prevents snow from getting into your jacket if you fall or go off-piste.
  6. Adjustable hood: A hood is handy for extra protection against wind and snow and should be adjustable so you can properly fit it to your helmet.
  7. Enough 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 can withstand wear and tear.

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

Waterproof snowboard jacket

The water column 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 regularly go into the powder, it is important to have a snowboard jacket with a minimum water column 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 good breathable snowboard jacket entail?

A good breathable snowboard jacket can effectively 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 makes use of 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 keep water molecules out while allowing water vapor (sweat) to escape.
A good breathable snowboard jacket thus prevents you from overheating and helps regulate your body temperature, allowing you to snowboard comfortably for longer, even in challenging conditions.
