Volcom M V-Science Crew — Men’s | Black

The best mountain days start from the inside out. The Volcom M V-Science Crew in Black is the men’s base layer top built to make that happen — a strategic first layer engineered to optimise the performance of every piece of outerwear you put on top of it.

Part of Volcom’s Thermal Defence Layering system, the V-Science Crew combines quick-dry technology, moisture-wicking properties, and a high-stretch fabric construction to keep you feeling cool, dry, and comfortable from first chair to last run. Whether you’re lapping the park, chasing powder, or hiking to a backcountry line, this is the layer that keeps everything else performing at its best.

The Black colourway keeps it clean, versatile, and easy to pair with any snow kit — and a Stone screenprint on the chest means you’re repping Volcom right down to the base layer.

Key Features

Performance & Fabric

• Thermal Defence Layering: Volcom’s base layer technology engineered as the first line of defence — trapping warmth close to the body while actively pulling moisture away from the skin
• Fabric: 90% polyester / 10% elastane — lightweight, four-way stretch for total freedom of movement through every riding position
• Quick Dry: Moisture is rapidly wicked away from the skin and dispersed, keeping body temperature regulated across high and low-output activity
• Soft Brushed Interior: A brushed inner face sits comfortably against skin for all-day wear without irritation

Fit & Details

• Fit: Standard fit — sits close to the body without compression; designed to layer cleanly under a midlayer or shell without bunching or restricting
• Sleeves: Long sleeve with thumbholes at the cuffs — locks the sleeve in place under gloves and stops cold air from sneaking up the wrist
• Neckline: Crew neck
• Graphics: Stone screenprint at chest

Care

• Machine wash warm or cold

Colour: Black

How to Layer the V-Science Crew

The V-Science Crew is Layer 1 in your mountain system — worn directly against the skin. Here’s how to build the complete setup:

Base Layer (this): Volcom V-Science Crew — moisture wicking, thermal regulation, stretch comfort

Mid Layer (optional for cold days): Lightweight fleece or insulated gilet over the top for added warmth on very cold days or slow touring laps

Outer Shell / Insulated Jacket: Volcom snow jacket with V-Science waterproof technology for wind and moisture protection

Pair with the Volcom V-Science Pant for a fully matched, coordinated Volcom Thermal Defence base layer system from head to toe.

Why Thumbholes Matter

On cold mountain days, even a small gap between your glove and sleeve cuff lets in biting cold air. The V-Science Crew’s thumbhole cuffs are a small but genuinely useful detail — locking the sleeve in place under your gloves and eliminating that gap entirely, so cold air stays out and warmth stays in through every run.

About Volcom Thermal Defence Layering

Volcom’s Thermal Defence Layering system is designed around one principle: your base layer should make your outerwear perform better, not work against it. By using quick-dry, high-stretch polyester-elastane blends that actively manage moisture and regulate temperature, Volcom’s TDL system ensures your insulating and shell layers can do their jobs properly — keeping you warm, dry, and performing at your best all day long.
