Volcom Arthur Longo Loose Fit Snowboard Pant - Retro-Tech Performance

In this review of the Volcom Arthur Longo Loose Fit Snowboard Pant the bottom line is simple: these pants are built for riders who want retro styling with modern performance. The loose Ergo Fit and gathered bottoms echo Arthur Longo's relaxed stance while the V-Science 2-Layer Supreme Twill and V-Science Breathable Lining System deliver reliable wet-weather protection. For anyone prioritizing breathability, taped seams and a zip tech pant-to-jacket interface make these pants ready for full days on varied terrain.

Key Features

• Waterproof and breathable: A 10,000mm / 10,000gm2 rating balances water protection with enough moisture transfer for active days on the mountain.
• Durable outer: V-Science Supreme Twill with a non-fluorinated DWR sheds snow and light moisture while preserving fabric hand and loft.
• Comfort system: The V-Science Breathable Lining System adds comfort without bulk so the pant moves well under layers.
• Weather-sealed construction: Critical taped seams reinforce entry points to keep wind and moisture out during long laps or stormy conditions.
• Integrated connectivity: Zip Tech pant-to-jacket interface lets riders lock the pant to a compatible jacket to prevent snow intrusion.
• Ventilation and reinforcement: Mesh-lined zippered vents and a triple reinforced rise help regulate temperature and improve longevity where wear is highest.

Who It's For

The Arthur Longo pant is best for snowboarders who prefer a loose silhouette and appreciate a retro-inspired aesthetic combined with technical features. It suits all-mountain riders who need dependable waterproofing and breathability for long days where conditions shift between tracked, crusty, or wet snow.

Riders who want extreme powder-sealing or the lightest possible race-cut shell should look elsewhere; this is a feature-rich, slightly heavier 2-layer pant designed for versatility and durability rather than minimal weight.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• V-Science Supreme Twill outer with non-fluorinated DWR gives a durable, weather-resistant finish.
• 10,000mm / 10,000gm2 waterproof/breathability rating is a practical balance for most resort and backcountry days.
• Zip Tech interface and mesh-lined vents add versatility for layering and temperature control.
• Triple reinforced rise improves durability in a high-wear area.

Cons

• Loose Ergo Fit with gathered bottoms may be too roomy for riders who prefer a slim or race-oriented cut.
• As a 2-layer pant it is not the lightest option for ultra-lean pack-and-skin missions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these pants fully waterproof?
They use a 10,000mm waterproof rating plus critical taped seams, which makes them effectively waterproof for most resort and variable conditions, though not guaranteed in extended submersion.

Will the pant interface work with any jacket?
The Zip Tech interface is designed to pair with compatible Volcom jackets or other jackets with a matching zip connection to prevent snow entry.

Is the fabric treated with PFAS?
The outer uses a non-fluorinated DWR, so it avoids fluorinated water-repellent chemistry while still offering water resistance.
