Miiinty Insulated Jacket - Girls'

The V-Science 2-layer membrane is a specialized fabric technology developed by Volcom that consists of two layers: a durable outer layer and a waterproof, breathable membrane. This design keeps you dry and comfortable during activities like skiing and snowboarding by preventing water from entering while allowing moisture from sweat to escape. This means you can enjoy your time on the slopes without feeling clammy or wet.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent treatment, is applied to the outer fabric of the jacket to make it water-resistant. This treatment causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, keeping you dry in light rain or snow. It significantly enhances the jacket's performance in wet conditions, ensuring you stay comfortable and protected during your outdoor adventures.

Critically sealed seams are a method of sealing the most vulnerable areas of a jacket, such as the shoulders and hoods, with waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through these seams while reducing the overall weight of the jacket and improving breathability. This feature is crucial for maintaining comfort and dryness in challenging weather conditions without compromising mobility.

A powder skirt is an elastic or adjustable band that fits around your waist, designed to keep snow from entering your jacket when you fall or ride in deep snow. By preventing snow from sneaking in through the bottom, the powder skirt helps maintain warmth and dryness, allowing you to focus on your performance rather than worrying about getting cold or wet.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over a ski or snowboard helmet, ensuring that you stay warm and protected from the elements while wearing your helmet. This feature is essential for safety and comfort, as it allows you to enjoy your winter sports activities without sacrificing protection or warmth.

Yes, the jacket is designed to perform well in heavy rain and snow, thanks to its V-Science 2-layer membrane, DWR treatment, and critically sealed seams. These features work together to keep you dry and comfortable, making it suitable for various weather conditions. However, for extreme conditions, layering with additional waterproof gear is always recommended for optimal protection.
