Jackets with a purpose: Roxy snowboard jackets are an essential part of the three-layer system

Snowboarding jackets should protect you from cold weather and wind and pad you against injury. Roxy, the junior girl's line by Quiksilver, was launched in 1990 and is designed for active living and the extreme sports lifestyle. In fact, Roxy snowboard jackets don't just look great, they are an essential part of the three-layer system.

What is the three-layer system?

The three-layer system helps you maintain your thermal equilibrium, which is important when you participate in outdoor sports, especially in cool weather. The three-layer system offers the best possible protection from outdoor conditions. So, before you slip on your Roxy snowboard jacket, learn more about the three-layer system:

• Base layer. Before you head for the hills, put on your base layer. This first layer, the one closest to your skin, should absorb only a small percentage of moisture and dry very quickly. The base layer should essentially wick sweat away from your body so you don't get a chill. Manufacturers use special synethic materials as well as wool blends for this layer.
  
• Insulation layer. This second layer is worn over the base layer. The purpose of this layer is to retain body heat. Manufacturers use polyester fabrics for this layer because the material can trap heat but still breathe.
  
• Outer shell. This is the snowboarding jacket. This final layer is the one that has direct contact with the elements. The material should protect you from the wind and cold and protect you from injuries, like cuts and scrapes. Outer shells, which should be made of waterproof materials, often look like windbreakers. If you choose a Roxy snowboarding jacket, you'll get protection and style.
