Is this jacket warm enough on its own?

No. It is an uninsulated three-layer shell, so you wear a base layer and a fleece or down midlayer under it. That makes it flexible across temperatures, but it is not a stand-alone winter coat.

Three-layer means the waterproof membrane is bonded to both the outer fabric and an inner backing layer. You get protection without a loose mesh liner, which cuts bulk and stops the lining snagging on layers.

Does it work for snowboarding as well as skiing?

Yes. The cut is roomy enough for a snowboard stance, and the powder skirt, hood and pit zips are the features both sports need. It is a general resort shell rather than a backcountry-specific design.

How should I size it?

The fit is described as roomy to allow layering, so if you want a closer fit or usually fall between sizes, consider sizing down. Check the sleeve length if you are tall, since shell sleeves run long.

Can I wear it in the rain around town?

Yes. The waterproof membrane and taped seams handle rain, and the plain Moss Green colorway does not look out of place off the mountain. It is heavier and stiffer than a city rain jacket, though.

About the Vector Men's 3L Ski & Snowboard Jacket Nat Edition Snow Jacket

The Vector 3L Ski & Snowboard Jacket is a three-layer shell built for resort skiing and snowboarding, with a laminated waterproof membrane and fully taped seams. The three-layer construction keeps bulk down compared with two-layer jackets that need a separate liner, and the Moss Green colorway is a subdued alternative to the usual bright snow gear. It suits riders who want a durable outer shell they can layer under for cold days. Reviewers of Vector shells generally note solid weather protection for the money, though the brand has less of a track record than established mountain names.
