2026 Dakine Scout Mens Jacket

The Dakine Scout Jacket is a solid everyday snow jacket for riders who want proper weather protection without jumping into the higher-end shell price bracket. With 10K waterproofing, 10K breathability and a relaxed articulated fit, it is built for regular resort days, mixed conditions and riders who want something comfortable, practical and easy to layer under.

The 2-way stretch fabric gives the Scout a nicer feel than a basic entry-level jacket, especially when you are strapping in, skating, hiking or moving around on the hill. It has the right snow-specific features too, including pit vents, an attached powder skirt, sleeve pass pocket, secure storage and a hung liner, so it feels like a proper snowboard jacket rather than just a winter coat with a lift pass pocket stitched on.

Key Features

• 10K Waterproofing / 10K Breathability
  A practical weather protection rating for regular resort riding, light snow, average winter conditions and everyday use on the hill.
• Relaxed Articulated Fit
  Gives room for layering underneath while still allowing natural movement through the shoulders, arms and body.
• 2-Way Stretch Construction
  Adds extra mobility through the fabric, making the jacket easier to ride, move and layer in compared with a stiff basic shell.
• Snow-Ready Feature Set
  Pit vents, powder skirt, sleeve pass pocket and secure storage make it a proper riding jacket, not just a cold-weather outer layer.
• Good Value Outerwear
  A strong option for riders who want Dakine’s snow-focused design and a useful feature list without stepping into premium technical outerwear pricing.

About Dakine

Dakine started in Hawaii in 1979 and has always had a practical, rider-led feel to it. The brand makes gear across snow, surf, skate, bike and travel, with a focus on useful design rather than overcomplicating things. Their snow outerwear keeps that same approach: durable fabrics, smart pockets, clean fits and the kind of details that actually matter once you are on the hill.
