Top 44 Snowboard Jackets (and Pants) of 2013/2014

Ride’s Laurelhurst jacket and Phinney pants (left) are solid all-rounders for beginners to advanced mountain riders. They’re not the most high-tech of kit but if you’re looking for something sturdy from a trusted manufacturer, then Ride’s for you. Cappel feature more classic styling and thicker, better quality fabrics for the top end of the market, as shown here in their women’s Cappel Thunder jacket and Wasted trousers (right). We like the duffel coat approach they’ve taken here, which you can rock on the town and on the slopes.

ABOUT RIDE & CAPPEL SNOWBOARDING

As well as being one of the world’s best-known board manufacturers, Ride have been producing high-quality outerwear for years. In fact, they’ve been making jackets and pants almost since they started, in 1992. As well as the regular Ride range, the company also makes Cappel kit (see the women’s outfit here) which they famously advertised using scantily-clad ladies. Cappel stuff tends to feature more classic styling, and thicker, better quality fabrics catering for the top end of the market, while Ride-branded stuff is worn by everyone from snotty park rats all the way up to backcountry badasses like Hana Beaman.
