Pendleton Snowboard

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are Pendleton wool shirts like the Board Shirt and Canyon Shirt suitable for snowboarding?

  Pendleton's Board Shirt - Men's and Canyon Shirt - Men's use midweight virgin wool (around 14.7–15 oz in a medium) that provides natural insulation, breathability, and odor resistance, making them excellent layering pieces on the mountain. Their button-up construction and chest pockets work well for casual on-hill use and après, but pair them with a waterproof shell in heavy precipitation.
• How should I choose the right size and fit for Pendleton snowboard beanies and shirts?

  Pendleton shirts have a regular, relaxed fit (center back length about 30" on a medium) designed for easy layering—choose your usual shirt size or size up if you plan bulky midlayers beneath. Beanies like the Iconic Knit Beanie and National Park Stripe Beanie are knit-stretch styles that typically fit most heads, but check product-specific size notes for cuff length and stretch.
• What are the differences between the Iconic Knit Beanie, National Park Stripe Beanie, and Retro Scene Beanie?

  The Iconic Knit Beanie focuses on classic Pendleton branding and a clean knit profile, the National Park Stripe Beanie features the signature park stripe motifs for bold graphics, and the Retro Scene Beanie emphasizes vintage-inspired patterns; all use wool for warmth and natural odor resistance. Choose by preferred graphic and cuff style—thicker knits deliver more warmth while lighter knits offer more packability.
• How well does Pendleton virgin wool perform in cold, wet mountain conditions?

  Virgin wool offers good midweight insulation, natural moisture-wicking and odor resistance, and some repellency to mist and light snow, making it comfortable for fall and cold, dry days on the mountain. In heavy rain or sustained wet conditions it will absorb more moisture than a waterproof technical shell, so combine Pendleton wool layers with a rainproof outer layer for extended wet-weather use.
• How does the Board Shirt compare to a technical snowboard shell for on-mountain use?

  The Board Shirt - Men's excels as a warm, breathable wool midlayer or casual outer when conditions are dry or cold, prized for comfort, softness, and heritage styling. Technical snowboard shells prioritize waterproof/breathable membranes and sealed seams for sustained wet-weather protection, so choose the Board Shirt for warmth and style and a hardshell when you need full weatherproofing.
