DC shoes have left their mark on the skateboarding community. Anytime you see a kid turning a kickflip, you'll see his DC shoes landing him back on the board. Their designs and styles have made the DC name a staple in skateboarding apparel. But DC does more than just shoes. DC has entered the snowboard market as a leader in technology and construction, which is apparent in all DC products.

When DC started making snowboarding boots, DC aimed to become the most innovative and progressive company in snowboarding. DC strives to make the best gear possible, from the most technically advanced boots, to the most comfortable, technical outerwear. As an extension of the DC mission to make the best products for snowboarding, DC shoes created the DC Mtn Lab to serve as a research and development center in the winter of 2002. At the DC Mtn Lab, products can be tested and tweaked to perfection.

The DC line features the greatest range of fabrics and technical features for the program to date. DC introduced the MTN. Lab series, the next step in the evolution of the DC park-built design mentality. DC outerwear features the most ergonomic fit available, as well as the added toughness of double-layer fabric protection in high-abrasion zones.

DC is proud to be leading the technical-charge and pushing the envelope by adding the 20,000MM 3-Layer EVENT to the top end of the line. EVENT is solidifying its position at the top of the outerwear food chain by offering a fabric that is as waterproof as any competitor, but twice as breathable. If you don't know about this fabric now, you will.

The DC EXOTEX program was designed for maximum protection against extreme weather conditions. The layered fabrics and lamination create the highest levels of waterproofing and breathability while maintaining its light weight and flexibility.

The DC EXOTEX 5,000 series provides simple, excellent protection against wet weather. The DC 5,000 series garments have a 5,000MM waterproof rating and inner layer, which help trap body heat, while allowing perspiration to escape.

DC's EXOTEX 10,000 series is lightweight and versatile for changing conditions. The 10,000MM waterproof rating provides excellent resistance to snow, rain, wind, and the layered fabrics trap body heat, while allowing perspiration to escape.

EVENT 20,000 fabric technology vents perspiration vapor through unimpeded microscopic pores engineered into a durable membrane. It provides maximum comfort for activity in harsh environments yet keeps clothing layers dry inside so you can thrive outside.

The designers of DC shoes, DC boots, and DC clothing go to the extreme to ensure the products that DC provides are ready to survive some action. DC knows that you want to take your life to the extreme; they want to be there to protect you when you do it.
