The Airblaster Access 2027 is a no-frills shell jacket built for freestyle snowboarders who want reliable weather protection without overthinking their gear. Designed with input from Michael McDaniel, it targets riders of all levels who hit everything from park laps to street spots and just need something that works.

Built on a 2-layer shell with 10,000mm waterproofing and critically sealed seams, the Access holds up in real storm conditions without feeling like a budget compromise. Breathability sits at 10,000g/m², and an 80/20 PFC-free Eco-DWR finish keeps the fabric shedding water cleanly. The Baggy Plus fit — think 90s oversized silhouette with a wide outer arm stripe — gives you the range of motion to move freely and layer underneath. Inside, a mesh and recycled poly embossed taffeta lining keeps things comfortable, while YKK zippers, an adjustable hood with rear hook-and-loop adjustment, elastic cuffs with thumb loop option, two zippered hand pockets, and a snap-closure internal chest pocket cover the essentials.

Who it's for

This jacket is made for riders who value function over flash and want a clean, affordable shell that pulls its weight in mixed conditions. If you lap park features, session street spots, or just want one solid jacket that won't let you down when the weather turns, the Access delivers without the premium price tag. It's especially well-suited to those who like to layer their own system rather than rely on built-in insulation.

FAQ

• Is the Access jacket insulated? No — it's an uninsulated shell, designed to be worn over your own mid-layers for a customizable warmth setup.
• Does it have a helmet-compatible hood? The hood is adjustable in height via a rear hook-and-loop patch, — check sizing and fit with your specific helmet before purchasing.
