Snowboard Jacket : What is it?
| Snowboard jackets are protective clothing used in snowboarding. They are layered over underwear or sweaters to provide warmth, wind-resistance, and moisture wicking. They are usually supported by other clothing worn under them since they are loose and do not hug the skin. Snowboard jackets are also worn for protection against snow and scratches in the event of a fall. |
