Is the Powderbound warm enough for cold resort days?

Yes for typical winter resort temperatures, especially with a midlayer. In extreme cold or on slow lifts, add a fleece or light puffy underneath.

How does it compare with a shell-plus-down jacket?

The Powderbound is warmer out of the box and simpler to wear, but heavier and bulkier. A shell with a down midlayer is more versatile across seasons.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. The hood is helmet-compatible and adjustable, so it fits over most ski and snowboard helmets.

Does it have a powder skirt and pit zips?

Yes. It has an attached powder skirt to keep snow out and underarm zips for venting when you heat up.

What should I wear under it?

A base layer plus a light fleece or thin puffy covers most days. Skip the midlayer on mild days and use the pit zips.

Is it good for snowboarding as well as skiing?

Yes. The cut, powder skirt and helmet-compatible hood work for both, and the length covers the hips when you sit or bend.

About the REI Co-op Men's Powderbound Insulated Jacket

The REI Co-op Powderbound is a men's insulated snow jacket built for resort skiing and snowboarding. It pairs a waterproof, breathable shell with synthetic insulation, taped seams, a helmet-compatible hood and a powder skirt. It sits in the value tier of REI's own line, so it undercuts big-name resort jackets on features per dollar while giving up some fabric refinement. Reviewers rate it highly for warmth, weather protection and fit.
