What Should You Look for in a Kids’ Snow Jacket?
Consider the conditions and activities for which the jacket will be used.
Important features can include:
- Waterproofing to help protect against snow and moisture
- Breathability to release heat during active riding
- Insulation for warmth in colder conditions
- Seam sealing to improve protection in vulnerable areas
- Powder skirts to help block snow
- Helmet-compatible hoods on applicable models
- Pass pockets and internal storage
- Adjustable cuffs and hems
- Grow systems that may extend sleeve length
Features vary between products. Check the specifications of the individual jacket rather than assuming every model includes the same construction.
Insulated Jackets vs. Shell Jackets
An insulated snow jacket includes built-in insulation and is often the easiest option for younger children, colder climates and riders who want warmth without managing several technical layers.
A shell jacket focuses on weather protection without substantial built-in insulation. Shells allow greater control over layering and can work well for active riders or changing temperatures.
Neither option is automatically better. The right choice depends on the child, the weather and how actively they ride.
Snow Jackets from Burton, Volcom, 686, Airblaster & Roxy
Burton, Volcom and 686 offer technical youth outerwear built around skiing and snowboarding, with different levels of waterproofing, insulation and rider-focused features.
Airblaster brings expressive snowboard styling and playful colour into functional kids’ outerwear, while Roxy combines technical winter performance with fits and designs created for girls.
Compare individual models by specifications—not just brand or appearance—to find the most appropriate jacket.
How Should a Kids’ Snow Jacket Fit?
A snow jacket should leave room for a base layer and midlayer without becoming excessively loose. The child should be able to raise their arms, bend comfortably and move without the jacket pulling tightly across the shoulders.
Check sleeve length, body length and brand-specific sizing. If the jacket includes a grow system, confirm how much additional length it provides before sizing up.
