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

From riding style to outerwear, the line between skatebrands and snowbrands have long been blurred. Vans is one such example that maintain a strong reputation for providing classy, stylish outerwear without a whiff of ostentation. Their Penken jacket (left) has a simple waterproof outerlayer with a rad grey marl hood. It can be paired with pretty much any colour pants but the Tangle pants here work well. For a matching suit, try the navy Upperdale jacket with giant pockets and rust-coloured panels to match the Archer pants.

ABOUT VANS SNOWBOARDING

Vans have one of the most prestigious pedigrees in boardsports. It stretches right back to 1966, when Paul Van Doren and three friends started making shoes and selling them out of their California store. As skateboarding took off in the 70s, Vans became a firm favourite thanks to their solid construction. When skaters began taking up snowboarding in the early 90s, Vans started making first boots and then outerwear. In fact, this winter, they’ll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their very first snowboard boot. Inspired by the same classic influences that shape their shoe and boot designs, their outerwear is classy, and stylish without ever being over the top.
