Snowboarding Jacket Vs. Skiing jackets. What is really the difference and can I wear ski jackets for snowboarding?
1. Different movement properties lead to different designs.
Snowboarding has a much larger range of motion than skiing, and has more tricks. Therefore, in comparison to the design of ski suits, snowboard suits are loose and fat to facilitate the completion of large movements. Ski suits, on the other hand, are designed to fit the skier's body better.
2. Different designs due to thermal requirements.
Snowboarding have a larger amount of exercise than skiing. Generally, only a thermal layer is added to the front of the snowboarding suit, and a special ventilation area is designed on the back; while ski suits add a thermal layer to the whole piece of jacket without separate ventilation.
There are still many common points among ski and snowboard jackets: Snow card pocket, waterproof zippers, DWR treatments, snow skirts, goggle wipe/pocket/hooks, etc etc. So, can you wear ski jackets snowboarding, or vice versa? Yes, needless to say lots of people don't really care.
