The best snowboard jackets for staying warm while hitting the powder

The Manual Contributor

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.

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.

Dakine might not be the first brand you consider when purchasing snowboarding gear. Many associate the brand with surfing, where Dakine originally made its name known to the world. We’re here to tell you if you’ve been overlooking Dakine in the winter months – stop doing that.

On a frigid day in the Pacific Northwest, I gave Dakine’s Sender Stretch 3L jacket and pants a full review. I spent the day snowboarding on one of the coldest days of the season (which might have been the actual coldest day so far) to see if Dakine’s three-layer outerwear could keep me dry, warm, and comfortable for a full day of riding.
