The Vans Take Up 2L GORE-TEX Shell Jill Perkins Vintage Cocoa combines a modern workwear shape with genuine mountain protection. Jill Perkins’ Vintage Cocoa colourway gives the shell a warmer, less conventional look than the usual black technical jacket, while the slightly cropped body, dropped shoulders and oversized front pockets create a strong silhouette. Underneath that design is a serious snowboard shell intended for riders who want dependable storm coverage without built-in insulation.
The core is a 2-layer GORE-TEX membrane laminated to a plain-weave recycled polyester face fabric. This combination is designed to keep wind and external moisture out while allowing internal vapour to escape. The construction is fully seam-sealed, so water is not given an easy route through the stitch lines. AquaGuard® water-repellent zippers reinforce the exposed openings and make the jacket more suitable for wet snowfall, storm days and long hours on the mountain.
A PFAS-free durable water-repellent finish helps precipitation bead away from the outer fabric, while the bluesign®-approved material reflects more controlled chemical and production standards. Those details do not change the way the jacket looks, but they matter in a premium shell that is expected to see repeated use. The recycled polyester fabric also offers high tear resistance, useful around lift hardware, board edges and the general abrasion that comes with winter travel.
This is an uninsulated shell, which makes it more versatile than a fixed-temperature jacket. On a mild or high-output day it can be worn over a base layer; in colder weather there is room to add fleece or lightweight insulation underneath. Zippered ventilation lets excess heat escape without removing the jacket, an important detail during bootpacks, longer traverses or active park sessions. The goal is protection that you can tune, rather than warmth you cannot switch off.
The hood offers peripheral adjustment and a hidden toggle cinch, helping it sit securely when the weather closes in. Adjustable cuffs and hem let you seal the jacket around gloves and layers, while the adjustable powder skirt reduces snow entry during deep turns or falls. The slightly cropped cut should be judged in a riding stance: the dropped shoulder and generous upper-body volume preserve movement, and the powder skirt handles the seal around the waist.
Storage follows the workwear inspiration. The oversized chest pockets use dual-zip access, so essentials remain reachable even when you are wearing gloves or a pack strap crosses the front. Media-cord routing adds a discreet practical detail. Nothing feels decorative for the sake of it; the large pockets, clean adjustment points and weatherproof zippers all support the same idea of a technical shell that still looks distinctly different from standard alpine outerwear.
Because there is no fixed insulation, choose your size with your normal winter layering in mind. Make sure the hem and powder skirt stay in place when you reach forward, rotate your shoulders and bend into a riding position. The Vintage Cocoa finish is a deliberate Jill Perkins colourway, not the Metallic Pewter shade shown in some early wholesale data. Style code VN000WC2HG21 confirms this exact Fall 2026 / 2027-season version.
