Insulated Volcom Tds 2l Gore Tex Product

Where to buy Insulated Volcom TDS 2L GORE-TEX:

Evo

The TDS 2L GORE-TEX Jacket is a blend of Volcom’s heritage, modern technology, and a snowboarder’s style, designed to keep the stoke high in everything from blower backcountry pow to face melting turns on corduroy.

Boasting Volcom’s 91 Fit, the TDS 2L GORE-TEX jacket is patterned to have a relaxed but not oversized feel. The TDS 2L GORE-TEX jacket is brought together with durable, breathable, waterproof 2L GORE-TEX, and further tricked out with Volcom’s TDS INFRARED lining system.

Having been refined for the last 14 years, Thermal Defense System (TDS) is Volcom’s proprietary insulation tech that consists of thermal panels that are strategically placed in all the right spots, ensuring that you stay warm where it counts. Used in conjunction with GORE-TEX, the TDS 2L GORE-TEX Jacket is warmer, drier, and lighter than ever.

Including technical features like Zip Tech Jacket to Pant Interface, wrist gaiters, and ample pocket space, this jacket is truly a perfect balance between style and function.

Things we like:

Insulation isn’t superfluous but strategically placed for efficient temperature regulation
