Volcom

Bolt Insulated Jacket - Women's

V-Science is a proprietary technology developed by Volcom that combines advanced materials and construction methods to enhance the performance of outerwear. It ensures that jackets are both waterproof and breathable, keeping you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions. This means you can focus on enjoying your time on the slopes without worrying about getting wet or overheated.

DWR is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the material instead of soaking in. Choosing a jacket with non-fluorinated DWR is environmentally friendly, as it avoids harmful chemicals. This feature is crucial for keeping you dry during unexpected snow or rain while you're out enjoying your favorite winter sports.

Synthetic insulation is made from man-made materials designed to trap heat and keep you warm. Unlike down feathers, synthetic insulation retains its insulating properties even when wet, making it ideal for cold and damp conditions often encountered in skiing and snowboarding. This means you can stay warm and comfortable, even if you get caught in a snowstorm.

Critical seams sealed refers to a construction technique where the most vulnerable seams of the jacket are sealed with tape or other materials to prevent water from leaking through. By ensuring these critical areas are watertight, your jacket will provide better protection against moisture, allowing you to stay dry and focused on your performance.

A powder skirt is an elastic or adjustable band found in many ski and snowboard jackets that fits around your waist. It acts as a barrier to prevent snow from entering the jacket when you fall or ride in deep snow. This feature is especially useful for keeping you warm and dry, allowing you to enjoy your time on the slopes without the discomfort of snow getting inside your gear.

A jacket equipped with V-Science technology, DWR treatment, synthetic insulation, critical seams sealed, and a powder skirt offers comprehensive protection against the elements. These features work together to keep you dry, warm, and comfortable, enhancing your overall experience while skiing or snowboarding. Investing in a jacket with these specifications means you can enjoy your outdoor adventures without worrying about the weather.
