Women's snowboard jackets that are actually designed for women — not just downsized men's cuts in different colourways. Women's-specific outerwear accounts for fit through the hips, shorter torso lengths, narrower shoulders and the proportions that make a jacket actually feel right when you're riding in it. On the mountain, that difference is immediately obvious.

We carry women's snowboard jackets from Burton, L1, Airblaster, Yuki Threads and more — covering technical performance shells through to lifestyle snow jackets that look great off the hill too. Authorised Australian dealer, all current season stock in our Richmond showroom.

For Australian conditions, waterproofing is non-negotiable. Australian mountain snow is some of the wettest in the world — heavy, dense and soaking. A 10,000mm jacket handles regular riding. If you're in the park sitting in snow or riding through rain, go 15,000mm or higher. The breathability rating matters equally: a warm spring day in a poorly ventilated jacket is miserable.

Fit has two layers of consideration: the cut for your body, and the system for your layers. You want to be able to fit a mid-layer underneath without the jacket pulling across the back when you reach forward — that reach-forward check is something we do in-store every time. A powder skirt to seal out the snow and underarm vents for hot days round out the features that actually get used on the mountain.

Not sure on sizing? Brands run differently — Burton fits differently to L1 which fits differently to Airblaster. Come in to our Richmond showroom and try them on, or give us a call before ordering online. Free shipping Australia-wide, same and next-day dispatch from Melbourne.
