Patagonia Sidewall Snowboarding Shell and Insulated Jacket Review

$300 2 Layer Shell
$325 2 Layer Insulated
A high end company that caters to Snowboarders almost as much as Skiiers. They even mention the word riding in the company line. It's a well made 2 Layer Shell with significant water proofing and a life time warranty. It is definitely in line with the Burton AK 2L and other jackets like it. Unlike a lot of technical shells it is baggy and friendly to most snowboarding clothing.  Yeah Patagonia isn't the first choice for snowboard clothing and is often called Pataguchi but hell they makes clothes that last forever.  Another thing we like about Patagonia is they are the only clothing company that is closest to zero enviormental impact in the action sports industry.  Supporting them is like investing long term in the snow we ride.

The Good Ride Take


Patagonia is all about well made long lasting products that are tested extensively before selling. It has a pretty good fit and is a little more baggy than most Patagonia clothing. It is a perfect on the mountain kind of jacket but if you need to go hiking or lap a warm park the jacket won't overheat you. The pit zips are enormous, don't have mesh to hold them closed and can vent you out in seconds. As you can see the company info and reviews about this jacket almost help you decide on your own. A day was spent on the mountain where the weather didn't know weather to snow or rain. After 7 hours of wet snow & rain the jacket was only wet on the outside of the sleeves where they rested on the body. Patagonia doen't rate their water proofing but H2NO survived all that was thrown at it.

Company Info

On cliff-lined steeps, you can't risk holding back – your thoughts have to play on fast-forward. This motion-inspired jacket complements the animation of hard riding and aerials with a durable yet limber 2-layer 100% polyester (50% recycled) shell, a slippery mesh-lined interior and a liberating cut to serve your freeriding needs. A waterproof/breathable barrier and a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish stop snow and spindrift. The removable, 2-way-adjustable, helmet-compatible hood and neck gasket keep your heat well-preserved; pit zips let it out again. For parks and pipes, articulated arms allow freedom of movement. Details: an adjustable powder skirt with webbing loops that connect to any Patagonia® Ski/Snowboard pants, a fleece-lined collar, weather-sealing storm flap and a drawcorded hem. Pockets: four handwarmers, two chest pockets (one holds your soundtrack), a bicep pocket with integrated pass holder, one interior stretch-mesh pocket and one interior zippered stash.

Material

2-layer H2No® shell fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof and breathable. They utilize an internal mesh or a wicking, hanging fabric liner to protect the waterproof barrier making them very comfortable and warm, even against the skin. 2-layer shell fabrics are versatile alternatives when you don't need the lightest or most durable shell available.

Technology

h2no
H2No® is Patagonia's standard for 100% waterproof and breathable protection in our shell garments. H2No is created by adding a waterproof and breathable laminate or coating to a high performance protective fabric. This fabric package blocks wind and water on the outside while allowing water vapor generated by your body to escape – keeping you warm, dry and comfortable. Learn more
