| Stops snow from getting inside - generally |
This kids’ snowboard jacket (or kids’ ski jacket, that works too) is designed to stop snow getting inside:
_ on the back: snow skirt + longline cut,
_ at the cuffs (extremely exposed area): long sleeves + cuffs to protect the wrist,
_ the neck: collar with a high gusset / hood with velcro to keep it rolled in high position, to protect the neck under the helmet. |
| Stops snow from getting inside - focus on the very sensitive wrist area |
This jacket has been developed and tested with the MI 500 JR PROTECT snowboard mittens which go under the jacket so that kids can easily pass the mittens through the sleeve on their own (from 8 years upwards - at 6 years old it's still complicated).
Then there are a host of features to keep the snow out
1. jacket sleeve with thumb loop to prevent the sleeve riding up,
2. the mitten reaches high up the wrist
3. the jacket sleeve then covers everything. |
| Warmth |
This jacket has 100 g/sqm filling with a brushed polyester lining for warmth. |
| WATERPROOFING |
As well as the waterproof fabric, we enhance the waterproofing of our kids' snowboard jackets, or our kids’ ski jackets, with taped seams. These are heat-bonded waterproof strips placed on the seams inside the clothing to make it perfectly watertight.
Only the main seams on the shoulders are taped on this SNB JKT 100 jacket. |
| 4 pockets |
This Decathlon kids’ snowboard jacket is designed for occasional snowboarding, nevertheless it has 4 pockets:
_ 2 side pockets secured with a zip fastening,
_ 1 secured inside pocket with a velcro fastening
_ 1 skipass pocket on the left sleeve secured with a velcro fastening. |
| Hood rolled under the helmet |
When snowboarding, snow can get in the jacket during a fall. To limit this unpleasant experience, the collar and hood were designed together.
So that the hood can be used as a scarf and keep the snow out, fold the hood in 4 and velcro it so that it stays up and fills the gap under the helmet.
The collar should be closed normally, up to the top, to tighten the jacket. |
| Hood over the helmet |
The hoods of the Snb JKT 100 jackets is not designed to be worn over the helmet.
This function is available on Snb JKT 500 jackets. |
| How should you dress your kids to ensure they don't get cold on the slopes? |
To make sure you stay warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-technical-layer rule: - Layer 1 or a second skin, to stay dry.
- Layer 2 or an insulating layer, to keep the heat in.
- Layer 3 or a protective layer to protect against the elements. |

| Water often gets in through the seams. Does my jacket have taped seams? |
In addition to the waterproof fabric, we reinforce the waterproofing of the jacket with taped seams. These are heat-bonded waterproof strips placed on the seams inside the clothing to make it perfectly watertight.
On this product, these waterproof seams are used in the areas the most exposed to the snow (hoods, shoulders). |
| What is the water repellent feature of my jacket for? |
The water-repellent feature makes water run off the fabric without seeping in thanks to a treatment applied to its outer surface. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the life of the product, after 2 to 3 washes on average, using the products available in our stores. All the waterproof jackets that we design for snowboarders are water repellent. |
| How will my jacket keep me warm? |
To keep the kids warm, we use wadding insulation. Wadding is a synthetic component made from polyester which stores more or less air, depending on the length of the fibres. Wadding can be standard, hi-tech or silicone-coated, each with different properties (warmth, low weight, elasticity, etc.) |
