Roxy Snowboarding Jacket Review

By Peter Long 18 June, 2023 2 mins read

Founded in 1990, Roxy has become one of the biggest brands in snowboarding and skiing. Roxy has been committed to women in board sport and has led the way in bringing fashionable and functional products to market.

Having started in snow gear, the company now offers clothing for both winter sports with an extensive range of ski jackets that are built to be waterproof and have plenty of features to help you stay warm and dry on the slopes. Its snowboarding gear is equally as impressive with a wide range of bold modern patterns that will keep you looking cool on the mountain.

Waterproof/Breathable Fabrics

A snowboard jacket should have a waterproof, breathable fabric. It keeps you dry and prevents moisture building up. There are premium shells such GORETEX fabric that you will see, but other options with similar performance are available (especially for those on a tight budget).

Insulated Shells

Synthetic insulation is used in the majority of snowboarding jackets. The fill weights are usually indicated on the jacket's back with "g" and "gr". The jacket will insulate more effectively if it is heavier than its fill weight. For extreme cold areas, a fill of 80 to 100 grams will work best.

3-in-1 Designs

A lightweight shell combined with an insulated layer is the best way to purchase a snowboarding jacket. This will usually be cheaper than buying separate pieces. These shells can be detached so that you can remove or add the jacket as your day progresses.

The most sought-after models include those from Patagonia and Volcom. Although each model is unique in design and fit they all offer excellent protection against the elements.

They come in a variety styles and colors. They also come in a few different sizes to ensure you get the perfect fit.

Powder Skirts and Jacket-to-Pant Attachment Systems

Some jackets for snowboarding have powder skirts. These skirts can be sized to fit around your waist, and are designed to keep the snow out of your cuffs in case you take a tumble. These can be attached using zippers or built into the pants, like Volcom's Zip Tech.

These jackets can be very useful, but they are also bulkier and less breathable that a shell or insulated jacket. The jacket-to-pant attachment connects your snowboard jacket and your snowboard pant, allowing for greater airflow and sealing out the cold and damp weather. It also maximizes protection against the elements.

The best snowboarding jackets should have everything you need to cope with any weather conditions on the slopes. They should have a high water-resistance rating, a good level of breathability, and an adjustable hood to ensure your head stays dry. They should be made of durable material with a small amount of synthetic fill to keep your head warm in moderately cold temperatures. There should also be plenty of ventilation to remove heat from the garment.
