Ski jackets and snowboard jackets are similar but there are some small differences between the two. The snowboard jackets are looser and baggier than the ski jacket equivalent in the same size. Snowboard jackets are also longer in length and come down over your trousers more than a ski jacket.

The argument goes that snowboarders move their body more so need more room to move. Both jackets and pants of ski and snowboard sports are waterproof, windproof and designed to keep you warm and dry. They are use the same materials to insulate from the cold and stay waterproof. Typically a warm fleece lining sits behind a fully waterproof shell.
