Vans Kingvale 2L 2027 – Shell Jacket

The Kingvale 2L is Vans' answer to the rider who moves between the park, the street, and wherever the night takes them. Built as a shell layer with a relaxed, retro-blocked silhouette, it's designed for snowboarders who want something that looks as good off the hill as it does on it — without the bulk of a fully insulated jacket.

The shell is built from ripstop fabric with a 10K DWR waterproof treatment, keeping you dry through wet snow and light rain without sacrificing breathability. Mesh zipper vents let you regulate temperature on the fly, while elastic wrist cuffs and a hidden waist cinch help seal out drafts. Dual chest pockets with an internal stash zone keep your essentials close, and media cord access means your playlist stays uninterrupted.

Who it's for

This jacket suits the snowboarder who rides park features and hunts street spots just as readily as they hit groomed runs. The loose, low-tech cut layers easily over a mid or base layer, giving you room to move without restricting your style. If you've ever wanted a jacket that holds up to a full session and still looks right at an after-ride hang, the Kingvale 2L is built for that.
