Fit and Features
New for this season Volcom introduces the new 91 Fit for jackets, which they describe as “relaxed but not oversized, featuring a slightly larger chest, drop shoulder, and slightly shorter length.” To complement the style, the pants too are designed in a loose fit, making them feel nice and roomy around your waist and legs.
As for features, the jacket comes with a removable hinged hood, a suede chin guard on the inside of the collar to prevent chafing to your face and chin, new oversized hand pockets, mesh-lined zippered vents and a side opening with a 2-way-zipper for added airflow.
Not falling short on features either, the Arthur pants too come with mesh-lined zippered vents, an adjustable inner waistband to make it easier to customise the fit without a belt, handwarmer pockets, back pockets, a boot gaiter with lace hook and plenty more.
The jacket and pants also feature a “jacket to pant interface” allowing you to attach them to one another thus preventing any excess snow from getting in.

Roundup
In true Arthur style, his outerwear comes with an “easy-on-the-eye” look combined with a handful of technical features that make you appreciate the whole look even more. It’s got comfort, style, and just the right amount of tech you’ll need from an outfit to bring your a-game in the resort – this is a steal.
Pros:
- Style and comfort meets quality
- We’re super stoked on the colour and design of this outfit – it stands out whilst still staying neutral enough to not be too aggressive on the eye
Cons:
- The design and fit are appealing to females as well – why not make the whole look unisex?

“Arthur Longo is one of the most skilled riders of this generation. A true force of calm, his mellow power manifests in precise board control that makes tough terrain look effortless. We worked meticulously with Arthur to develop a signature pant to match his versatile style. The result is a snowboard pant that can hang in any terrain or locale. A V-Science 2-Layer Supreme Twill outer is backed by our Breathable Lining System and critically taped seams to create a retro-inspired pant for the future. The loose Ergo Fit is complemented by gathered bottoms that set Arthur’s pant apart.
The Longo Pullover is a timeless snowboard jacket that nods to retro Volcom aesthetics with iconic style for the future. The V-Science 2-Layer Supreme Twill fabric is backed with our Breathable Lining System intended for maximized comfort and moisture management, while a removable hood bolsters the streetwear appeal of this pullover jacket.”
