Can you wear Dope gear for both skiing and snowboarding?

It doesn’t matter if you’re a hardcore skier or a laid-back boarder, there’s no difference in how we make our designs, and they’re perfectly suited for both sports with super comfortable and high-performance designs.

Each fit brings style and versatility to the entire mountain, with 15k/15k of waterproofing and breathability, eco-DWR, and a wide range of features to make your time on the mountain the best!

How Dope gear fits

Every piece of Dope gear is designed for skiing and snowboarding, and made with movement in mind. So, you can lap the groomers, stomp the park on skis or slash powder stashes in the backcountry while on a board. Our jackets come in three fits: regular, relaxed, and boxy. Compare them in the Dope jacket shape guide. Our pants come in four: slim, regular, relaxed, and baggy. The Dope pants shape guide breaks down which cut suits which rider.

Historically, ski gear was more form-fitting while snowboard gear was hella baggy. But, over time, the two styles blended. And, today, there’s rarely a distinction between ski and snowboard looks. And at Dope, we’ve eliminated the difference between ski and snowboard fits altogether. Instead, all our unrestricted gear works with however you ride, giving you full freedom to make the mountain your own.

Tech specs and performance

All of our Dope gear hits the same awesome technical benchmarks. All our gear uses waterproof, breathable DRYTech fabric with a 15k/15k waterproofing and breathability rating, and an eco-friendly DWR finish for epic weather resistance. Read the full breakdown of waterproofness and breathability in Dope gear for what those numbers actually mean on the mountain. And thanks to the super durable woven polyester shell, our gear is ridiculously hard to scuff and damage.

Many Dope styles are also available in insulated or shell versions. See Dope insulated vs shell jackets for which to pick when. This puts the layering power in your hands, depending on what your season, week, or day has in store. If you’re set on skiing slushy spring laps, choose a shell.

Made for both sports

Every piece of Dope snow gear is built for skiing and snowboarding. Our collections feature the same tech specs alongside thoughtful, useful details and features like lift pass pockets, adjustable hoods, ankle and wrist gaiters, zippered vents, waterproof storage, and so much more!

Which means all you have to do is choose your favorite look! From bluebird cruising to winter storms, each and every piece of Dope snow gear is made to withstand tough conditions, tough treatment, and tough criticism! Our design team has worked tirelessly to ensure that no matter who you are, or what you ride, Dope gear is perfect for you.
