Snowboard Clothing – Comfort and Protection

Snowboard clothing is essential for every rider, regardless of experience level. The sport exposes us to low temperatures, strong wind and high moisture, so the right equipment ensures comfort and also protects our health on the slopes.

Snowboard Pants and Jackets – Essentials for Every Rider

The most important pieces of snowboard equipment are pants and snowboard jackets. Their selection should take two essential features into account:

• High waterproofing– prevents water penetration and keeps the body dry even in extreme conditions.

• Optimal breathability– allows sweat to escape and maintains a constant body temperature, avoiding the “cellophane” effect.

Recommended products:  Jones, Protest, Armada and WeeDo for junior options, equipment with 10k, 20k and 30k waterproofing and Gore-Tex.

First Layer – A Base Layer for Warmth

The first layer sits directly against the skin and quickly removes sweat, maintaining thermal comfort.

Natural First Layer

Second Layer – An Intermediate Layer for Thermal Insulation
