SNOWBOARDING EQUIPMENT
What are the essential snowboarding outfits i must wear?
I’ve already got the jacket, gloves and trousers. I will be hiring snowboarding equipment such as the boots and board.
I am a complete beginner and i’m not sure which additional equipment i need to get.
I will definitely buy goggles. What about elbow and knee pads? Helmets? wrist guards? any others i haven’t thought of?
If you have high quality snowboarding pants and gloves, they won’t be getting wet all the way through and you won’t need spares. If you have lower quality stuff you might be soaked half way through the day.
- Yes, goggles or sunglasses
- Helmet (or hat)
- Wrist guards are a good idea when learning
- Synthetic Underwear (NOT cotton) – Duofold, Hot Chilis, etc.
– Top and Bottom
- Good synthetic socks (NOT cotton) – Thorlo, etc. These and the synthetic underwear will be worth the money and will keep you dry
- Mid layer, cotton hoodie is OK but a fleece is better
- Sunscreen / chapstick
I have heard of the “padded shorts” to pad the butt, but have never heard of anyone snowboarding with knee or elbow pads. It isn’t ideal to learn on really hard snow / ice anyway, try to pick a day that has loose skier packed and groomed snow.
Learn how to fall – to your forarms when falling forward and to one side of the butt when falling backward and roll. NEVER try to stop a fall with your hands as your wrists are the most likely injury and you will be OK. Have fun learning and don’t give up.
Good Luck
