Snowboard & Ski jackets?

Is there a difference ?

re: Snowboard & Ski jackets?

Short answer ... nah, not really

re: Snowboard & Ski jackets?

Aha thanks They just seem bulkier.

You do get the odd exception, like salopettes that are wider at the bottom to go over boots and the backs of bindings, or jackets that are a bit longer for a bit of padding when sitting down on the hill, but other than fashion and cosmetic stuff they both do exactly the same thing.

Ah right I see... That makes sense, cool.

Thanks for the info.

I ski but have bought what is essentially a boarding jacket this time - just 'cos I liked it!!

If anything, it seems a bit looser than a ski jacket, and I agree, maybe a bit longer - bonus is I have a funny rubbery waterproofy-type lining on the bottom of it, so when it's time for my chocolate break, I won't get a wet bum sitting on the snow!!

Probably deisgned specifically for all you boarders who seem to spend an enormous amount of time on your backsides!!

re: Snowboard & Ski jackets?

Haha great last sentence

re: Snowboard & Ski jackets?

Husband has just defected from skiing to boarding, not sure I can be associated with him anymore!!!

jocrad: But boarders make for good slalom practice markers when they are sitting about in daft places don't they?
