Snowboarders used to just throw a hoodie on under their jacket before going out riding. Then snowboarders used to overheat, work up a sweat that froze, get very cold and go home. Miserable. Luckily these days there are now a whole range of mid layer options available to help you regulate your temperature on cold days, ensuring you can keep shredding for as long as possible in comfort.

But we’re not dumb, we know that as well as performing well snowboarding kit has to look good – you wouldn’t want to be wearing something a road cyclist would for after shredding beers – so we’ve taken styling into account too.

We’ve got together some of the best mid layer pieces in the business and put them through their paces – just hit the left and right arrows to browse.
