What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve recommended the Defy Jacket to plenty of young riders for its balanced insulation and waterproofing. It holds up really well to wet snow and cold days, and the fit is roomy enough for layering without being bulky. The jacket-to-pant system is also a huge bonus for keeping snow out."The Defy Technical Snow Jacket from DC delivers warmth, coverage, and confidence for young skiers and snowboarders pushing their limits on the mountain. Its balanced insulation keeps riders warm through long chairlift rides and frosty morning sessions, while DC’s trusted Weather Defense 10K membrane keeps snow and wind on the outside where they belong. With 120g of insulation in the body, plus lighter fill in the sleeves and hood, it hits that sweet spot between mobility and comfort. The recycled polyester dobby fabric is finished with an eco-friendly DWR coating, and thoughtful features like a gathered helmet-compatible hood, critically taped seams, and a fixed powder skirt provide full-season versatility. From zippered pass pockets to internal media routing, the Defy is designed to keep kids geared up and focused on the ride, not the weather.
