Volcom

5-Pocket Pant - Men's

V-Science is a proprietary technology developed by Volcom that incorporates advanced materials and construction methods in their outerwear. It ensures that the gear is both waterproof and breathable, which is essential for snowboarding. This means you can stay dry and comfortable in wet and cold conditions, allowing you to focus on your performance rather than worrying about the weather.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a special coating applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This treatment causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in. For snowboarders, this is crucial because it helps keep you dry during wet conditions, enhancing your overall comfort and performance on the slopes.

The breathability rating measures how well a fabric allows moisture, like sweat, to escape while keeping water out. A higher rating, such as 10,000g/m², means that the fabric can effectively manage sweat, preventing you from feeling clammy or overheated during intense activity. This is vital for maintaining comfort and performance while snowboarding.

Critical seams sealed refers to a construction technique where the seams of the garment are taped or sealed to prevent water from leaking through. Since seams are often the weakest points in waterproof gear, having them sealed ensures that your snowboard pants remain waterproof, keeping you dry and comfortable in snowy conditions.

Gaiters are protective coverings that fit over the tops of your boots and are often integrated into snowboard pants. They help prevent snow and debris from entering your pants and boots, which is especially important in deep snow. The elastic and lace hook design ensures that gaiters stay securely in place, providing you with added protection and comfort while riding.

The combination of V-Science technology, DWR treatment, breathability ratings, sealed critical seams, and gaiters creates a comprehensive system designed to keep you dry, warm, and comfortable. Together, these features ensure that you can enjoy your time on the slopes without worrying about the elements, allowing you to focus on your performance and have fun.
