ThirtyTwo and Snowboard Outerwear

ThirtyTwo is a snowboard brand through and through, and its jackets are designed by people who ride. That shows in the details: cuts that move well on a board, features placed where snowboarders actually need them, and a style that fits the culture rather than chasing high-street fashion. The jackets are built to perform and to last a real season of riding.

Because the brand understands the demands of the mountain, its outerwear balances weather protection, warmth, and freedom of movement. Whether you want a warm insulated jacket or a versatile shell, ThirtyTwo brings a rider's eye to the design.

How a Snowboard Jacket Keeps You Comfortable

A snowboard jacket is the outer layer of a system. A base layer moves sweat off your skin, a mid layer traps warmth, and the jacket forms the shell that blocks snow, wind, and water while letting moisture escape. Get the layering right and the jacket keeps you dry inside and out, so you stay comfortable through a long day.

The jacket's job is weather protection and warmth management, which is why waterproofing, breathability, and insulation are the features that matter most. Below we explain each so you can choose the right ThirtyTwo jacket for your riding.

Insulated or Shell?

The first choice is between an insulated jacket and a shell. Insulated jackets have built-in warmth, which makes them simple to wear and ideal for colder resorts and riders who feel the cold. Shell jackets carry little or no insulation, so you control warmth with the layers you wear underneath, which makes them more versatile across changing conditions and spring riding.

If you ride consistently cold days, an insulated jacket is warm and fuss-free. If you ride a range of conditions or run warm, a shell with adjustable layering gives you more flexibility. ThirtyTwo offers both across its range.

Understanding Waterproof Ratings

Waterproofing is measured in millimetres, shown as a figure such as 10,000mm or 15,000mm. The higher the number, the more water pressure the fabric resists before it lets water through. Breathability is measured separately and tells you how well the fabric releases the moisture you generate riding.

As a general guide, around 10,000 to 15,000mm suits most riders and conditions, with higher ratings best for wet, heavy snow and all-weather riding. Taped seams and a durable water-repellent finish add to the protection by stopping water sneaking through stitching and soaking the outer fabric.

Features Worth Looking For

Snowboard-specific details make a jacket far more useful on the mountain.

• Powder skirt: a sealed inner cuff that stops snow riding up your back when you fall or ride deep snow
• Pit zips: underarm vents that dump heat quickly on warmer days
• Pass and goggle pockets: handy storage for lift passes and spare lenses
• Adjustable hood and cuffs: seal out wind and snow in bad weather
• A helmet-compatible hood: fits over a helmet for full coverage

For changeable conditions, pit zips and a good powder skirt are especially worth having.

How Should a Snowboard Jacket Fit?

A snowboard jacket should leave room to layer underneath without being so baggy that cold air gets in. You want to move, reach, and crouch freely without the jacket riding up, and the sleeves should stay in place when you lift your arms. Many snowboarders prefer a slightly roomier, relaxed fit for freedom of movement and style, while a trimmer fit sheds bulk.

ThirtyTwo offers jackets cut for men and women, so choose the fit designed for your shape. Sizing varies between styles, so check the size guide, and our team in Poole can help you find the right fit.

Caring for Your Jacket

Looking after outerwear keeps it waterproof and warm for longer.

• Follow the care label and use a technical wash made for waterproof fabrics
• Avoid normal detergents and fabric softener, which clog the fabric
• Reproof the water-repellent finish when water stops beading on the surface
• Dry it thoroughly and store it clean and dry at the end of the season

Reproofing once or twice a season brings a tired jacket back to life and saves buying new before you need to.

How Much Do ThirtyTwo Jackets Cost?

Prices depend on the waterproof rating, the construction, and whether the jacket is insulated or a shell. Entry-level jackets cover the basics, mid-range pieces offer a better balance of waterproofing, breathability, and features, and premium jackets use higher ratings, fully taped seams, and more technical fabrics. A more expensive jacket usually means better weather protection and durability.

If you ride regularly or in wet conditions, a mid-range or premium jacket is often worth the investment, while an entry-level jacket suits a first season or the occasional trip. You'll find a spread of budgets across the range.

Frequently Asked Questions About ThirtyTwo Jackets

What is the difference between an insulated jacket and a shell?

An insulated jacket has built-in warmth, while a shell has little or none and relies on the layers you wear underneath. Shells are more versatile; insulated jackets are warmer out of the bag.

What waterproof rating do I need?

Around 10,000 to 15,000mm suits most riders and conditions. Choose higher for wet, heavy snow and all-weather riding, and lower only for dry, cold resorts or occasional use.

How should a snowboard jacket fit?

It should leave room to layer underneath while still letting you move freely, with sleeves that stay in place when you lift your arms. Many riders prefer a slightly roomier fit.

What is a powder skirt?

A sealed inner cuff around the waist that stops snow pushing up your back when you fall or ride deep snow, keeping you drier and warmer.

Can I wear a ThirtyTwo jacket for skiing too?

Yes. The weather protection works for both skiing and snowboarding, though snowboard jackets often have a slightly roomier, more relaxed cut.

Does ThirtyTwo make women's jackets?

Yes. The range includes jackets cut for women alongside the men's styles, so you can choose the fit designed for your shape.
