The best snowboard jackets for staying warm while hitting the powder

By

Snowboarding jackets tend to be looser or baggier than ski jackets because the user spends more time sitting on and dealing with the snow. Ski clothes are tighter for better aerodynamics and speed. Snowboarding jackets also stress style and comfort as much as performance, which is evident with these leading and enticing jackets tailored for the sport.

Snowboarding jackets typically offer an exterior layer designed to guard against winter’s wrath. They can repel water from snow, sleet, or rain, block wind, and allow perspiration to evaporate. Although the jackets are highly functional, they’re usually highly attractive, too. To protect yourself well the next time you go snowboarding, wear one of these top-notch jackets.

Wantdo Men’s Mountain Waterproof Jacket

Best Weatherproof

Since warding off weather’s effects is a key quality, Wantdo Men’s Mountain Waterproof Ski Jacket is a top choice. The polyester jacket is engineered to be waterproof, windproof, durable, and stain repellent. It is made of a special high-density fabric and coating, and it employs a film composite process to obstruct air intrusion more effectively. An ergonomic-structured cutting and fuzzy lining boost warmth and improve movement.

MOERDENG Men’s Waterproof Ski Jacket

Best Lightweight

Stay warm but not weighed down when snowboarding by wearing MOERDENG Men’s Waterproof Ski Jacket and Snowboarding Jacket. The lightweight jacket is made of new high-quality polyester with a fiber-like micropore structure designed to let air move more freely to channel away body heat and sweat.

Ovrlnd gets “girthy” with the new, extra-wide Chubby truck camper package
With more sleeping and standing room, it's one of the most livable-yet-compact truck campers we've seen.

Truck campers are the ultimate streamlined solution for overlanders. But the svelte, trail-friendly form factor means trading agility for living space. Ovrlnd Campers wants to remedy the typically cramped living quarters of most truck campers with a wider, more livable interior.

New for 2025, the Flagstaff, Arizona-based brand is adding a Chubby package to its lineup. By extending the width of any of its existing truck camper models by 3.5 inches on either side, the interior width expands by a full seven inches. That might not seem like much. But if you've spent any time living in your car or out of the back of a pickup truck, those extra seven inches feel downright luxurious.
