Volcom

Stone.91 Insulated Jacket - Boys'

V-Science technology is a proprietary fabric construction developed by Volcom that combines waterproof and breathable properties. This means that while the fabric keeps water out, it also allows moisture from sweat to escape. This is essential for outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding, as it helps you stay dry and comfortable, enhancing your overall experience on the slopes.

PFC-free DWR treatment stands for Durable Water Repellent that does not contain harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This treatment makes the fabric water-resistant, causing water to bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. Choosing PFC-free options is significant for eco-conscious consumers who want to minimize their environmental impact while still enjoying high-performance outdoor gear.

Synthetic insulation is made from man-made materials and is designed to retain warmth even when wet, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Unlike down, which can lose its insulating properties when damp, synthetic insulation remains effective and is generally easier to care for. In our jackets, we use different amounts of insulation in the body and sleeves to provide warmth where it's needed most without adding unnecessary bulk.

An adjustable powder skirt is a feature in snow jackets that helps prevent snow from entering the jacket during skiing or snowboarding. By allowing you to modify its fit around the waist, it ensures a snug seal that keeps snow out, especially during falls or in deep powder conditions. This feature enhances your comfort and keeps you dry, allowing you to focus on your performance.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over a ski or snowboard helmet, providing warmth and protection from the elements without compromising safety. This feature includes elastic internal hood gaiters that help keep the hood snug, preventing wind and snow from entering. This ensures that you stay warm and protected while enjoying your winter sports activities.

Choosing gear with features like V-Science technology, PFC-free DWR treatment, synthetic insulation, adjustable powder skirts, and helmet-compatible hoods ensures that you are well-equipped for outdoor adventures. These technologies enhance your comfort, keep you dry and warm, and provide the necessary protection against the elements, allowing you to fully enjoy your time on the slopes or in the snow.
