Collection: Snowboard Jackets

When you're carving down the mountain, your jacket is your first line of defense against wind, snow, and cold. ERIK'S carries a comprehensive selection of snowboard jackets engineered to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable no matter what the conditions throw at you. From technical shells for backcountry exploration to insulated options for resort days, you'll find jackets designed for every riding style and weather scenario.

What to Look for When Buying Snowboard Jackets

Waterproofing and Breathability
Look for jackets with high waterproof ratings (measured in millimeters) and breathable membranes like GORE-TEX or similar technology. These keep moisture out while allowing perspiration to escape, preventing that clammy feeling during intense riding sessions.

Insulation Type
Decide between insulated jackets with built-in warmth or shell jackets that you can layer beneath. Insulated options work well for cold resort days, while shells offer versatility for changing conditions and varying activity levels.

Fit and Mobility
Choose between regular, relaxed, or slim fits based on your layering needs and style preference. Look for articulated sleeves and stretch panels that allow full range of motion without restriction when reaching for grabs or adjusting bindings.

Ventilation
Pit zips and chest vents are essential for temperature regulation during warmer spring days or when you're working up a sweat on challenging terrain.

Powder Skirt and Cuffs
An integrated powder skirt seals out snow during falls and deep days. Adjustable cuffs with inner gaiters keep snow from creeping up your sleeves.

Pockets and Features
Consider media pockets, goggle wipes, pass holders, and helmet-compatible hoods. These details enhance convenience and keep essentials secure and accessible.

FAQs

What's the difference between a snowboard jacket and a ski jacket?
While many jackets work for both sports, snowboard jackets often feature a longer cut for better coverage during falls and sitting in the snow. They also tend to have a more relaxed fit to accommodate the wider range of motion needed for snowboarding tricks and grabs.

How do I choose between an insulated jacket and a shell?

Insulated jackets provide warmth in a single piece, ideal if you prefer simplicity and ride in consistently cold conditions. Shells offer maximum versatility—layer up for cold days or strip down for spring riding. Consider your local climate and whether you prefer one jacket or a layering system.

How should a snowboard jacket fit?
Your jacket should allow comfortable movement without excess fabric bunching up. Leave room for base and mid layers underneath. Sleeves should extend past your wrists when arms are extended, and the hem should cover your waist with overlap for your powder skirt.
