3. This is your shell layer. I have head-to-toe goretex, but that's really not that important. What you DO need is full seam taping. If it's not seam taped, get nicer gear. The downside of boarding on the west coast here is that our weather is barely above freezing, if it's not taped, melted snow and ice that collects at the seams turns into water. Once its starts, it keeps getting worse like a kitchen rag, that moisture just spreads. It gets into the cracks and all the insulation and wicking material in the world isn't going to keep you warm.

not true, you don't need full taped seams, you only need critically taped seams. full taped seams aren't necessary. Unless you plan on riding purely in the rain, and diving in puddles, critically taped seams are fine.
but then again, what do i know, i snowboard in jeans and a leather jacket
