KIDS’ SNOWBOARD SNB 500 JACKET – yellow

5 pockets

This Decathlon kids’ snowboard jacket is designed for regular to intensive snowboarding, so it has all the pockets required:

_ 2 side pockets closed with a zip,

_ 1 external chest pocket closed with a zip,

_ 1 interior mesh pocket for a buff, goggles, etc

_ 1 ski pass pocket on the left sleeve closed with a zip.

Hood over the helmet

The hood of this jacket is designed to fit over a helmet, in case of strong winds, heavy snowfall, etc.

In this position, open the collar of the jacket by about 10 cm, pull the hood over the helmet and simply close the collar with the gusset (rip-tab closure). The gusset creates a well-protected area for the mouth and nose.

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 must be closed normally, up to the top to keep everything tight.

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.

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 with thumb loops to stop snow from entering,

_ at the neck: collar with a high gusset / hood with rip-tab to keep it rolled in high position and protect the neck.

The hood can also be worn over a helmet.

Warmth

For warmth, this jacket has 2 different fillings to perfectly meet the need for heat:

_ 150 g/m² for the body, with a fleece lining,

_ 100 g/m² on the sleeves.

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.

This product has 100% taped seams.

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.

On this SNB JKT 500 jacket, 100% seams are taped.

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 products available in our stores. All the waterproof jackets that we design for snowboarders are water repellent.
