Cordova Snowboard

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should Cordova one-piece snow suits fit for skiing or snowboarding, and how do I pick the right size?

  Cordova suits are designed with a semi-fitted, streamlined silhouette and 4-way stretch to preserve mobility while flattering curves; choose your usual women’s size but allow room for base layers if you ride cold. Use each product’s size chart and try-on guidance—bibs may have shorter inseams and adjustable straps (many fit best on riders ~5'4"–5'8")—and prefer a slightly looser fit if you plan heavy layering or long-day comfort.
• How does the Cordova OTB Snow Suit compare to the Hoodoo Ski Suit?

  The OTB Snow Suit is a versatile, standard-warmth one-piece with synthetic insulation and a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish for all-day resort use, while the Hoodoo Ski Suit emphasizes higher warmth with down fill and a listed ~7K waterproofing level for cold conditions. OTB leans toward breathability and streamlined styling for active snowboarders, whereas Hoodoo prioritizes insulation and elevated warmth for colder alpine days.
• What level of waterproofing, breathability, and seam construction do Cordova suits use for on-mountain performance?

  Cordova uses technical shells with DWR treatments or enhanced finishes (examples include Ecorepel®) and waterproof ratings that range up to roughly 20,000mm on some pieces, combined with high breathability fabrics and 4-way stretch for moisture management. Critical seams are taped or fully sealed, and features like Aquaguard® zippers, powder skirts, and reinforced cuffs help keep snow and wind out while maintaining ventilation through full-length zips.
• Which Cordova models are best for very cold alpine days versus milder resort conditions?

  For very cold alpine days choose models ranked toward “ultimate” warmth like the Ajax, which prioritize insulating fills and fleece linings; for standard resort versatility the OTB and Corsa offer balanced synthetic insulation and weather protection. If you prefer lighter, more packable layers for milder conditions or longer aerobic days, look to the lighter Cordova or Huracán styles and plan to layer accordingly.
• Are Cordova suits made with sustainable materials, and what insulation and shell fabrics do they use?

  Yes, Cordova integrates eco-conscious choices such as Bluesign®-approved fabrics, Ecorepel® DWRs, recycled fibers, and responsibly sourced down (RDS) in select pieces, alongside synthetic insulations like PrimaLoft® and merino midlayers in some styles. Shell constructions typically use stretchy polyamide/polyester/elastane blends (for example, ~43% polyester/43% nylon/14% elastane) with critical seam sealing, durable zippers, and washable finishes; follow garment care labels to preserve DWR and loft.
