JACKET

You’ll want a different jacket depending on the temperature of the environment you’re boarding in. If you’re on a colder mountain you’ll want to get an insulated jacket. An insulated jacket is typically a hard shell with built in layers of insulation (like thinsulate, or primaloft).

If you’re going to be riding in warmer temperatures getting a hard shell jacket will give you waterproof protection, space to build layers if you do need extra warmth, and have breathability.
