Fit and Features

Designed in a regular fit, both the jacket and pants are tailored to maximize performance and freedom of movement while the incorporated patterns in the knees and elbows ensure a more ergonomic fit.

Both the male and female jackets are designed to be both backpack and harness friendly while featuring an adjustable helmet-compatible hood with a bonded protective visor, a high collar for full coverage with a comfortable poly tricot liner, wrist gaiters with thumbholes, large side zippers with arm vents, a large chest pocket, hand pockets, a large front body vent and mesh pocket system for moisture regulation and a sleeve pocket for phone, keys and cards.

As for the bibs, they come with vents at both the front and the back for added breathability, a large front opening with a 2-way zipper under a bonded flap, inner bib mesh pockets with one secured by a zipper, zippered thigh pockets with top access, laser-cut vents to help evaporate humidity and snap buttons at the back leg and knee to shorten the leg while touring.

“Clean-cut designs, relaxed backcountry fits and technical outerwear, this is what we want the future to look like”

Roundup

FW has done a solid job at differentiating themselves within the backcountry market. The European-based brand embraces the essence of snowboarding by focusing on artistic innovations, individual expressions, and high quality. They’ve managed to create a collection that suits all and everyone, unifying the different types of snowboarders. Clean-cut designs, relaxed backcountry fits and technical outerwear, this is what we want the future to look like.

Pros:

• It’s nice to see that no sacrifices were made in the making of the female outerwear
• FW’s cuts stand out from the rest of the backcountry-specific snow outerwear and it’s nice to see something slightly different

Cons:

• Fit is quite short, which might prove to be a problem for taller people. Luckily, you can adjust the length of the bibs using the straps. And if you don’t mind the fitted-short-jacket look then you might not even think of it as too short.
