Volcom

Vernon Insulated Jacket - Boys'

V-Science is a proprietary technology developed by Volcom that features a 2-layer membrane designed to be both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat to escape, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during activities like skiing and snowboarding. Choosing gear with V-Science technology can enhance your performance and enjoyment in wet conditions.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a special coating applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This treatment causes water to bead up and roll off the surface of your jacket instead of soaking in. This is particularly beneficial in wet conditions, as it enhances the overall waterproof capabilities of the jacket, keeping you drier for longer.

Grow-Tech Construction is a feature in some of Volcom's kids' clothing that allows the garment to "grow" with your child. It typically includes adjustable hems or seams that can be let out as your child grows. This means you won’t have to buy new jackets every season, making it a more economical and sustainable choice for parents.

A powder skirt is an adjustable, built-in feature found in many ski and snowboard jackets that wraps around your waist. It helps prevent snow from entering the jacket, especially in deep snow conditions. This added protection keeps you warmer and drier, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time on the slopes.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over a ski or snowboard helmet without compromising safety or fit. This feature ensures that you can stay protected from the elements while wearing your helmet. The elastic gaiter helps keep the hood snug against the helmet, preventing wind and snow from getting in, which enhances your overall comfort during your outdoor adventures.

Jackets featuring V-Science technology and DWR treatment are specifically designed to keep you dry and comfortable in challenging weather conditions. The combination of waterproofing and breathability ensures that you stay warm without overheating, while the DWR treatment enhances water resistance. Investing in these features can significantly improve your skiing experience, allowing you to focus on the slopes rather than the weather.
