The North Face is known for making expedition ready gear. Think Mount Everest! And with making expedition ready gear, comes the knowledge for making reliable jackets for everyone, not just those Himalayan-bound.
The ThermoBall Snow Triclimate is a perfect jacket for those who are looking for a snowboard jacket that works well year-round. This 3-in-1 zips out the middle insulating layer allowing riders to choose how to wear it. It can be worn together as an insulating hard-shell that protects from the elements while keeping you warm, an insulation piece that keeps you warm on mild days, and a hard-shell for those slushy spring days when temperatures are warm, but you need to stay dry.
Those who want a versatile snowboard jacket will enjoy The North Face TriClimate. This jacket’s versatility allows its use to be extended beyond the winter season and well into the spring and even summer seasons. Its sleek design looks more along the lines of a technical outdoor piece than some riders may be looking for.
