The fastest way to achieve nirvana on the slopes? The DC Men's Ohm Snowboard Jacket. DC constructed this waterproof breathable coat with a synthetic insulated lining for extra warmth when a cold front hits the mountain. You'll feel so comfortable you'll think you've reached a higher plane of existence or some shit. If you get too warm on bluebird days, the underarm zip vents let cool air flow in. DC added a waist gaiter for protection against incoming snow and a media pocket that lets you listen to the Gregorian chanting monks while you shralp.
Haven't worn mine snowboarding yet, just wanted to comment on the fit/design to help others make a decision. Fits very baggy- I'm 5'6" and ordered a small and it's just on the cusp on being waaaaay too big. The sleeves are long, but not too crazy. The currency camo print is real dope- you can't see it in the pics but it's basically a bunch of $, euro, yen, etc. signs all over the jacket. Pretty puffy also- I don't quite look like a marshmallow man, but almost. I can tell it's gonna be warm as hell too, but with the zip off sleeves acting as vents it'll be money if it gets too hot. Zip off hood and pow skirt are nice features to have also. For $69 on WM, this was robbery!

Versatility + A Whistle = Better Than Snuggling With an Eskimo 09-13-09
Nothing bad to say about this jacket... I love it. It keeps you warm and dry on really cold days. I don't like sweating unless I'm wearing spandex and a reebok headband so I usually take the sleeves off and wear a t-shirt or hoodie underneath... perfect for warmer days.
As far as SIZING goes. DOES NOT fit like a DC hoodie. I'm 6'0" 195lb. I wear size XL DC hoodies for a relaxed fit (not baggy). I had to switch this jacket out for a size L which is still loose and comfy. It's a lot wider around the waist than their hoodies as well.
BONUS- There is a whistle in the interior pocket which is more fun than a barrel of monkeys on chair lifts and bunny slopes!!
Hey, this is probably the best snowboard jacket i have ever owned.
its pretty baggy but not huge and not heavy. the sleeves can be taken off and it becomes the perfect spring vest for snowboarding.
it has a lot of pockets, including a balaclava and a avalanche whistle.
i just love, and i get compliments on the jacket every time i rock it.
and its crazy cheap!
