I recently bought some 10,000mm pants at SD SnowJam and I’m looking for a jacket to match. I usually see 5,000mm jackets and some 10,000.
What’s the difference? Is it a bad idea to go with 10,000?
I have a jacket already that I think is 5,000 and it’s fine, I’m just buyin a new one.
I like volcom style jackets and pants.
Does anybody know the site where I can get this kind of styles with good price? Please let me know,,
I already been to volcom.com…
Right, here goes. I’ve been advised on getting a phenix jacket and pants but they are pretty ugly. They have a spec of:
•Waterproofness: 20,000mm
•Insulation: Thunderon Deginite thermo + Phenix nestlation
I haev no idea what this is and have no idea what other insulations are good. There’s down jackets, thermore insulation, warmcore, polyfill etc etc. what the hell is the difference? I need a jacket that I can wear for a season in canada so it will have to have insulation of some description. I saw one i liked the look of with ‘thermore insulation’ but have no idea how good it is at keeping you warm. Any insights? chars.
I am 6′2 and 170 pounds. I want an size:XL jacket, the only problem is most XL jackets are really wide and flair out towards the bottem in the back. I am kind of tall and skinny so i want a jacket thats longer than a Large but not quite as wide as XL jackets.
are there any brands that specificaly run tall and skinny? some suggestions would be nice, thanks and have a good season.
the collar (the part that goes over the mouth) of my snowboard jacket smells really bad from being wet all the time, and possibily from my spit.
i tried febreeze, that just made it smell like febreeze + the wet smell.
I dont want to use detergent on the whole jacket cuz i remember you are not suppose to because it would cut ruin the waterproofing.
So i used detergent on just the collar then rinsed it, but the weird smell still lingers.
is there any natural stuff i can use? like lemon mixed with water or something……….
also, if anyone know how to get rid of the smell of wet snowboard boot liners, please let me know.
thanks!
thanks for the answers…………I know about Nikwax and washing and all that, but my question is just about the COLLAR part.
I have tried washing the whole jacket but the collar still kinda smells.
to Nephroid:
its really wet here in the northwest, so we need the waterproofing 
I recently bought a winter jacket made by DC, the material is very water resistant but there isn’t much insulation, nor much room to layer underneath. What would you recommend to wear under the jacket to keep warm, I think a hoddie would be too big, and limit moving room.
Also, are jeans or sweats the best way to go under thin snowboard pants? I’m new to the mountain and need to know! Thanks!
Any other (useful) tips about snowboarding are welcome!
Hi my name is Lori. My sons birthday is in a few days and he wants a new snowboard jacket. He is really good at snowboarding and has been doing it for 11 years. I want to buy him top of the line quality. So can somebody please tell me who makes the best snowboarding jackets. Thanks.
Now we all hear that our jackets are good for 10 000mm 20 000mm etc. What exactly does this mean, and is it just standard, or better then the rest? If so, what is some of the best available ( X ) mm’s of protection?
I have a size large Bonfire snowboard jacket, I got it last winter and its like brand new. How much should I sell it for?
I have a white snowboard jacket and i dont want it to get stained, how can i keep it clean?
