L1 Outerwear

The L1 story

L1 (L1TA) came out of snowboarding's deep connection with street and skate culture, building a reputation for outerwear that nails fit and aesthetic without skimping on the technical side. Where some outerwear brands are purely function-first, L1 understood that riders care how their kit looks and fits, and built a range with proper waterproofing and breathability wrapped in cuts and styling that stand out on the hill. It has become a favourite among riders who want a distinct look.

Who is L1 for?

Riders who want outerwear with personality: strong fits, considered styling, and the technical performance to back it up. The range covers jackets and pants across a spread of waterproofing levels, leaning towards the freestyle and street-influenced rider. If you care about looking good and staying dry, and you want something less mainstream than the big brands, L1 is the pick. It works across ability levels, with particular appeal to park and all-mountain riders who value style.

What waterproof rating do you need?

Match the rating to how wet and hard you ride. Australian snow is often wet and heavy, so for regular riding you want 10K to 15K or better, and for wet days or heavy park use where you spend time sitting in the snow, go higher. The first number is waterproofing, the second is breathability, and both matter. Our ratings guide explains the numbers, and we will point you to the right piece for how you ride.

How does L1 fit?

L1 is known for distinctive cuts, from relaxed street fits to more technical shapes, so check the specific piece. Because the fits lean roomier and street-influenced, factor in the layers you will wear underneath, and size for how you like to layer rather than assuming your street size. If you are unsure, call us before ordering. Look for taped seams, pit zips, powder skirts and helmet-compatible hoods depending on the piece.
