Volcom pants, especially the Volcom Men's Bjorn 3-Layer Pants shown in the accompanying photo, is one that is perfect for snowboarding. It is waterproof to keep you warm and dry, loose enough to provide the snowboarder with plenty of flexibility in his movements, and extremely breathable. They also look pretty cool.

The styles in their clothing line tend to be relaxed and casual, mirroring the attitudes of the sports that they are designed for.

What To Look For In Volcom Snowboard Pants

In general, snowboard pants have three layers to them.

Layer one is the inside layer that is closest to your skin. Its primary function is to keep moisture from your body. It should allow the sweat from your body to flow through to the outer layers. This helps in keeping the skin warm and prevents your clothes from feeling clammy to the touch.

Layer two is the insulating layer. Its primary function is to keep the heat of your body inside your clothing so that you remain warm. It does this by trapping the heat that your body generates and prevents it from escaping through the outside layers. But it should also be permeable enough to prevent the body from becoming overheated.

The third and outermost layer is the one that is in contact with the weather. It should be both waterproof or resistant as well as wind resistant. In the case of snowboarding apparel, it should also be extremely durable because undoubtedly it will be coming into contact with the ground and the snow quite a bit.

Not all Volcom pants designs have all three of these layers. Some Volcom mens pants and Volcom womens pants are designed mainly for style instead of function. So, if you see a pair of Volcom pants that you like, before buying them, make sure that they have these three types of layers.

If you want to be stylish, you will also be concerned about the fitting. Since Volcom specializes in designing their pants for youth, this is probably not be an issue. Of all the companies producing snowboard pants, the ones from Volcom are usually the most stylish and colorful ones on the slopes.
