Volcom L GORE-TEX JACKET - 2027

The Volcom L GORE-TEX Jacket is one of those shells that's pretty hard to go wrong with. It's simple, proven, and built for snowboarders who want real GORE-TEX protection without a bunch of unnecessary bells and whistles.

This is an uninsulated shell, which is exactly why we like it. Layer it up when it's dumping and cold, run something light underneath on warmer days, and keep riding the same jacket all season. The recycled 2-layer GORE-TEX construction, fully taped seams and YKK® AquaGuard® zippers are built to keep the weather on the outside where it belongs.

The fit is relaxed with enough room to actually snowboard and layer underneath without feeling like you're swimming in your jacket. Mesh-lined vents let you dump heat when you're riding hard, while the adjustable powder skirt and Volcom's Zip Tech® jacket-to-pant interface help seal everything up when the snow gets deep.

It's also loaded with the little features that matter after you've spent enough days on the mountain—handwarmer pockets, pass pocket, goggle pocket, adjustable hood and cuffs, hem cinch and even a whistle built into the zipper pull.

Buzz's Take: If you're looking for one shell to ride all season, the L GORE-TEX is tough to beat. It's waterproof, breathable, easy to layer and doesn't try to reinvent the snowboard jacket. Pair it with the L GORE-TEX Pant and Zip Tech® the two together for a setup that's ready for pretty much whatever Vail throws at you.
