Outerwear will make or break your day out on the snow. It's important to know what you are looking for with the thousands of choices available to you. When choosing outerwear, there are a few things to consider: Waterproofing needs, warmness, fit, and price.
Waterproofing: Snowboard and ski outerwear waterproofness is rated by numbers, most commonly ranging from 3,000mm and 30,000mm. The higher the number the more waterproof. If you spend most your days riding on sunny days, a 10,000mm waterproofing will usually suffice. For more variance in conditions like rain and wet snow, you will want to move up the scale. Keep in mind that your pants will take most of the abuse in the weather. Higher waterproofing rating on pants is common.
Warmness: This depends a lot on the person and what makes them comfortable. Most outerwear, with or without insulation, is warmer then your average street jacket. If you ride in extremely cold temps, or your body runs cold, you'll want a jacket with insulation. For average days on the snow (32 degrees), a jacket or pant or with light insulation is usually suitable with a base layer. For people that run cold or temps 25 degrees and lower, insulation is advisable. On warm spring days, (40 degrees) shell jackets are sometimes just right or too warm. Of course, using proper layers is always key to staying warm, and only you can decide what works best for you.

Fit: The way your outerwear fits is mostly personal preference. Wear what size you are comfortable in and what you feel looks good. All brands fit differently and even have variance between their own product lines. If you cannot try on, please see our size charts,
sizing guides and user product reviews. Please add your assessment of how clothing fits by writing your own review!
Price: The cost of the outerwear in most cases, reflect the amount of waterproofing, insulation, features and types of material used in that jacket. A 20,000mm jacket, with 500 fill down, with herringbone plaid material is going to be pricey. A 8000mm shell jacket is going to be relatively inexpensive.
