The higher the rating number, the more waterproof a fabric will be. Gore Tex do not use the same system as everyone else - they quote single, double (2L) and triple layers (3L) of waterproof membrane. To be waterproof, an item of clothing needs more than a waterproof fabric - you also need to consider the seams.
We only quote the waterproof rating of a garment when it is backed up by information displayed on either a garment tag/label or the manufacturers website/brochure. We have not, therefore, quoted ratings for all our garments. This does not, however, mean they are not waterproof but it is a fairly reliable indicator that the waterproof rating is likely to be under 5,000.
Seams
Clothing seams are almost always sewn together. Sewing leaves holes, holes leak and you could get wet! To counter this manufacturers tape the seams to keep the water out.
We quote a garment as having taped seams when this information is confirmed by information displayed on either a garment tag/label or the manufacturers website/brochure. In all other instances, we have chosen to list the product as 'not quoted'.
Insulation
You do not necessarily need insulated garments for snowboarding or skiing. It depends on whether you tend to suffer from the cold more than others - this tends to be the case for children, women and smaller men. It also depends on how much energy you exert - the more active you are , the hotter you will become. Beginners tend to exert far more energy than do experts. The final factor is the weather - which in turn is dependent on the time of year and location of your resort. People ski in temperatures ranging from -35 to +10 degrees celsius - so choosing the correct degree of insulation is very important.
Exactly the same as 'Lined Shell' garments - only without any lining!
Some of the highest specification most technical and breathable snowboard and ski garments use an unlined shell construction.
Technically, there is little difference between a snowboard jacket and a ski jacket. Both would work perfectly well for either sport. Many freestyle skiers wear clothing styles more traditionally associated with snowboarding. Differences relate to the style, the colours, the cut or look or simply the brand name.
Listed here are snowboard jackets with a strong snowboard pedigree or heritage which tend not to be worn by skiers - unless you are a skier who likes the snowboard look - and many younger skiers do! The snowboard look is also popular amongst freestyle skiers.
