Snowboarding jackets are an essential piece of gear that should keep the rider warm, comfortable and protected from the harsh cold when riding on the slopes. The jackets are designed with many features and take into account different atmosphere conditions, along with the requirements of the sport itself.

GORE-TEX: What is it, and Why is it Important? In the world of polymers, there are numerous types of plastics. We have discovered many of them through different means such as experiments, and processes, but mostly we have discovered a lot of them through pure luck and coincidence, and the list continues to grow. But to focus more on the experimentation aspect, the world as we know it would be very different if a one Chemours employee, Dr. Roy J. Plunkett hadn’t stumbled upon the wonderful polymer
