At first glance, it doesn’t seem that snowboarders and motorcyclists have all that much in common. After all, one spends his or her time carving up the slopes, while the other enjoys riding the open road. However, if either of them is unfortunate enough to experience a crash, it can lead to similar injuries, including nasty scrapes, cuts, and abrasions. But a new jacket from Crave looks to take the sting out of a wipeout by helping prevent injuries to both snowboarders and motorcyclists alike.

The 365 Protective Jacket was designed with the idea of keeping riders — both on boards and bikes — safe during a fall. To achieve this, the interior of the jacket is lined with para-aramid fibers, a heat-resistant material this often used by the military and the aerospace industry. Aramids are extremely tough and are incorporated into several other products — including Kevlar — because of their ability to provide protection from a variety of injuries. In this case, the para-aramids line the interior of the jacket, providing an anti-abrasion material that protects the skin when impacting the ground at high speeds.

Crave incorporated the aramid-protective lining along the back of the jacket and down each sleeve, which is where the most damage usually occurs during a crash. The Protective Jacket also features large pockets on the shoulders and elbows that are designed to hold protective pads that can lessen the impact as well.

Other nice features that snowboarders and motorcyclists will appreciate include armpit zippers to provide extra ventilation, a helmet-compatible hood, a protective wind collar, and wind and water-resistant fabrics. The jacket is also equipped with a pocket on the sleeve designed to hold a phone or wallet, zippered wrist pockets for lift passes, and a hidden security pocket on the interior of the jacket for keeping valuables safe.

Despite having a layer of high-tech fabrics incorporated into its design, the 365 Protective Jacket features a design that looks right at home on the slopes or the road. Additionally, it is built to work as part of a cold-weather layering system, making it a good option for winter outdoor pursuits.

The 365 Protective Jacket sells for $329. Find out more at CraveShop.com.

Stay warm while keeping your beer cool with the Sixer insulated jacket
686 PBR Sixer

When it comes to making apparel for use in then outdoors, 686 may not be amongst the most well-known brands, but that doesn't stop it from delivering unique products. Take for example the company's latest creation, the 686 x Pabst Blue Ribbon Sixer, an insulated jacket that doubles as a wearable cooler.

As with most of 686's gear, the Sixer is made from highly technical fabrics designed to keep the wearer warm and dry in the outdoors. In this case, the company has drawn on its vast experience in designing performance apparel to produce a jacket that offers not only protection from the snow and rain, but is also breathable, too. Made from water-resistant fleece, treated with a durable water-resistant coating, the jacket can vent out moisture and heat, keeping the wearer drier and more comfortable on the slopes or cold weather hikes in the backcountry.

The North Face's new Ventrix jacket is built to vent heat and moisture

The North Face has developed an innovative new jacket designed to keep us more comfortable in the outdoors, and to celebrate the company has teamed up with singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers to help launch the new product. The jacket, and Rogers' new single will release later this week, but we get a sneak preview of both today.

The jacket is called the Ventrix, and what makes it so special is a unique design that reacts to current conditions to help keep the wearer as comfortable as possible. To achieve this, TNF designers incorporated perforations in key areas of the jacket that can expand to allow heat to vent out or contract to trap warmth inside. That means when a trail runner is moving uphill and starts to get warm, the perforations will open to allow the venting process to take place. After the runner has crested the top of the hill and begins to descend down the other side, the vents close up again, keeping the athlete warmer.

Whether out for evening jog or a hike under moonlight, visibility is important. Vollebak's latest, the Solar Charged Jacket, ensures that outdoor enthusiasts are never without light. Like something out of the comics, the jacket stores light energy to maintain a glow for up to 12 hours.

Just like glow-in-the-dark toys from peoples' childhood, the Solar Charged Jacket fuels itself in sunlight. The easiest way to charge it up for the night is by wearing it outside during the day. Whether it is two minutes or two hours, the jacket will store the light energy and glow as soon as it gets dark. Longer time in the light will be reflected in a longer glow, and just a couple hours in the sun will grant users up to 12 hours of soft, green light. Even on a cloudy day, the sun's light is bright enough to charge it up.
