Snowboard outerwear is the gear that stands between you and Australian winter. And Australian winter on the mountain — wet, variable, slushy by midday, icy by morning — asks more of a jacket and pant than most conditions in the world. This is not the dry Colorado pow where 5,000mm waterproofing is fine. You need real kit here.
We carry outerwear from L1, Yuki Threads, Burton, Airblaster and more — brands that understand function, fit and style in equal measure. Not department store waterproofing numbers — actual riding outerwear designed by people who snowboard in it.
Waterproofing rating is where to start. 10,000mm is the minimum we'd recommend for regular Australian riding — it handles the typical mix of groomed runs, chair rides and the occasional sit-down in the slush. 15,000mm–20,000mm is where you want to be if you're riding through variable conditions, sitting in the snow working on tricks, or doing full days in rain. Premium membranes like Gore-Tex sit at the top of the scale for maximum protection.
Breathability matters as much as waterproofing. On a warm Australian spring day, a jacket that doesn't breathe turns into a sauna. Look for the breathability rating alongside the waterproofing number — they work together. High-output riders need high breathability. Lift-and-cruise riders can get away with less.
Fit comes down to riding style. A baggy, relaxed jacket — L1's signature aesthetic, Yuki Threads' streetwear-influenced cuts — gives freedom of movement, works over layers, and looks right on and off the hill. A technical fitted shell suits high-output riders who layer hard. We stock both.
Yuki Threads is proudly Australian — designed for Australian conditions and sizing, and we're one of their key Melbourne stockists. L1 brings Pacific Northwest snowboard culture with outerwear built to last multiple seasons. Airblaster keeps it functional and fun without compromising on performance.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
Incredible company, my Burton Swash jacket was exactly as advertised, great website, good post purchase communication and fast postage. Overall, a perfect experience!
Been able to fit them to my new Jones splitboard now that it has arrived. Bindings look great, attachment was easy. Cannot wait to try them out. Just need some new skins!
the comfiest & cutest snow pants ever ! theyre super baggy so size down 1-2 sizes. best worn with some thermals under as they dont provide much warmth.
