❄️ John Snow Jacket Built for the Elements: Why Layers Matter
In skiing and snowboarding, layers are everything. John Snow offers both 2-layer (2L) and 3-layer (3L) shell jackets to match different riding styles and conditions.
What’s the Difference of John Snow Jackets Between 2L and 3L?
2L Jackets : These are ideal for recreational riders and those who frequent ski resorts. They include a separate mesh or taffeta lining and offer reliable waterproofing while remaining comfortable and affordable.
3L Jackets : Designed for more technical use — such as backcountry tours or long, wet days on the hill — these jackets feature three bonded layers for ultimate protection, breathability, and durability. Less bulk, more performance.
💦 Waterproof Where It Counts: 10K–15K Baggy Ski Pants
Let’s talk pants — because no one likes a soggy bottom halfway through their day. John Snow’s baggy snow pants are engineered with waterproof ratings from 10,000 mm to 15,000 mm , providing protection against snow, slush, and even light rain.
What Do Waterproof Ratings Mean?
10K waterproof : Handles light to moderate snow and rain — perfect for typical resort days.
15K waterproof : Higher-level protection ideal for wet powder, deep days, or riders who spend hours on the hill.
These pants don’t just keep you dry — they let you move. The loose, functional fit gives you freedom for jumps, grabs, and tweaks without restriction. Plus, the design is inspired by streetwear, so you’ll look as fresh at the lodge as you do mid-run.
🏂 Snowboarding or Skiing — Style Matters
Function is critical. But form? Just as important. John Snow was created for riders who want it all: performance gear that doesn’t look like your dad’s hand-me-downs.
