Talking about snow cover (Photos)Read more>>

Snow cover is one of the essential equipment in winter activities. In the snow and cold weather conditions, it can not only ensure that outdoor users' feet are free from “harassment” caused by snow penetration, but also can play a role in protecting the athlete's foot to a certain extent.


At present, there are not many good snow kits on the market. Commonly used and commonly available products are K2, SEA TO SUMMIT, PRO-GAINT and BLACK YAK, or some outdoor shops are looking for materials and manufacturers. The product. These snow jackets vary in price: expensive for nearly one thousand yuan, cheaper for a dozen yuan; and they are also different in material: luxury can use GORE-TEX, common point PU coating pressure Plastic materials can also be made.


From the design point of view, all types of snow jackets are similar, but the difference is only in some details (such as ankles and feet). For users like you and me, the main function of snow cover is to prevent snow from entering the hiking shoes from the trousers and ankles. Therefore, the snow jacket is designed to be used in the upper and middle parts, and the bottom is provided with a fixed strap (rope) to which the shoes are attached. And hooks are used at the front to catch the laces. With these designs, the snow jacket and the human legs and feet can be tightly integrated.


Below I found 4 BLACK YAK snow sets for your reference. These four snow jackets are basically low-to-high product representatives on the market.

This snow cover is made of ordinary squeezing glue material, which is lighter in weight and harder in texture. Most of us buy similar products. This type of snow cover is generally contracted and fixed with rubber band material in the upper and middle parts, and is connected with a zipper and a Velcro.

The price is higher than 1, only use DT fabric of Japan Toray. This material is waterproof and breathable, but its index is not as good as that of GORE-TEX products. It is characterized by its light weight and easy storage. Because of the thin texture of this type of product, such as the use of crampons need to be careful, if not pay attention, the crampons can easily scratch the snow fabric.

The snow cover of GORE-TEX material is considered to be a high-end product of snow sets from the price workmanship. We can see that the snow jacket joints are processed with GORE-TEX material (Figure 4). For this reason, the snow jacket is basically used to draw the rope (see Figure 3).

GORE-TEX XCR snow cover. XCR I have seen the real thing is this. From the price and workmanship, this snow cover is the most expensive and best BLACK YAK products. Workmanship is very fine (see 3), In particular, a three-dimensional design is used in the area of ​​the foot, and the front is made in the shape of the upper. The better the upper is, the better the two are formed into a whole.

Before New Year's Day, several friends asked about buying snow jackets. In fact, the snow jacket is a dispensable equipment. If you only participate in the general activities or people who don’t like moving in the winter, then you need to find a friend to borrow if you need to, if you’re a purely outdoor enthusiast. It can't be bought.

The snow jacket seems to be simple but in fact it is very demanding on the fabric. It is believed that friends who have used similar 1 have had the distress of dripping water on the inner wall of the snow after use. Anyway, I have come across this. Last year, I had never forgotten the wet legs of the Big Five. I also remembered this year's big five cats with dry trousers after the DT snow cover. This article is mainly for everyone to see. The use of materials and workmanship for branded products will play a role in introducing the equipment that suits them. I hope they can help everyone!
