When purchasing a new snowboard jacket, its ability to breathe is often overlooked compared to its waterproof ratings. What’s sometimes forgotten is that if it doesn’t have the ability to cope with moisture from within we’re often left cold, wet and, frankly, pretty miserable. This is where the Bonfire Apex Polartec Neoshell 3L Stretch Shell Jacket comes in.

Who Are The Bonfire Apex Polartec Neoshell 3L Stretch Shell Jacket For?

If you’re looking for a hard shell with superior breathability and ventilation, offered in the same stretch as softshell, this is the jacket for you. By teaming up with Polartec, Bonfire have utilised one of the world’s most breathable and waterproof fabric technologies to create a jacket primed for riders who push their riding inbounds and in the backcountry.

Materials and Construction

By adding Polartech Neoshell fabric to their Apex Jacket, Bonfire has yet again proven themselves to be at the top of their game. By using the highly engineered 4-way Polartec Neoshell Stretch fabric for added comfort, mobility, and breathability, it’s ability to regulate your body’s temperature (especially when things get a little sweaty), is second to none.

Polartec has claimed the throne as the most breathable waterproof fabric technology in the world, combining the best of both a soft and a hard shell jacket. Granted, it ain’t cheap, but we reckon for the right rider, the Apex Jacket is worth every penny.

Fit and Features

The jacket is designed with Bonfire’s standard fit. It has a slightly more tailored fit with chest and sleeves cut closer to the body, yet leaves enough room for the jacket to feel comfortable around the body.

For added convenience, a removable and adjustable shoulder sling system has been added to the Apex jacket, allowing you to quickly throw the jacket off your shoulders mid-hike and get some much needed ventilation to your core. There’s also a goggle wipe and a key hook tucked inside two of the pockets.
