Volcom Guch 3L GORE-TEX Pro Jacket Bright Blue

The Volcom Guch 3L GORE-TEX Pro Jacket Bright Blue is a men's technical shell developed with Bryan Iguchi. Its three-layer GORE-TEX Pro construction combines a 100% recycled nylon outer fabric, Micro-Grid backer and fully taped seams. Style G0652650 in Bright Blue, colour code B45, focuses on weather protection while letting you choose the warmth of the layers underneath.

The relaxed fit is complemented by backpack-compatible vents, adjustable hood, cuffs and powder skirt. Radio and map chest pockets provide purposeful storage. Zip Tech connects with compatible Volcom trousers, while YKK AquaGuard water-repellent exposed zips and integrated RECCO technology complete the technical equipment.

Choose layers for the whole day. Your needs can change between an active descent, a lift ride and a break. Start with a comfortable base layer and add insulation according to temperature and your own warmth preferences. Try the jacket with the layers you intend to use, rather than judging its shape over a single tee. Reach forward, lift your arms and check that the shoulders and sleeves remain comfortable.

Adjust hood, cuffs and hem before heading out. With gloves on, practise opening the vents and accessing the pockets you plan to use most. If you carry a backpack, check the jacket again with its straps fastened. Small fitting adjustments are easier to make indoors than during a cold lift ride. Keep essential items accessible without overfilling the chest area or restricting movement.

Manage ventilation as your activity changes. Open vents before you feel excessively warm and close them when conditions or pace demand more coverage. A weatherproof jacket is one part of a clothing system; the warmth and moisture you feel also depend on your layers and effort. Think about how you ride, what you carry and how often you stop when deciding which combination works for you.

After use, brush away loose snow and allow the jacket to dry before storage. Follow its care label for washing and any treatment of the outer fabric. Keep zips free from grit and inspect the garment regularly.
