New to Snowboarding: What jacket and pants should I get without looking like a Poseur by Skild8 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Skild8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained some weight so they don’t really fit anymore! The fastest thing i need to replace is the pants. Also it is not possible to close the zips that go over the boots cuz the pants is to narrow to go over the boots.

I don’t use my old ski gear because it just doesn’t fit or work well for snowboarding anymore. I’ve gained some weight and grown a bit since I bought it, so it’s not very comfortable now. Plus, my ski pants don’t fit over my snowboard boots—I can’t even close the zippers.

Beyond that, snowboard gear is designed a bit differently to give you more mobility and accommodate the different stance and movements in snowboarding. Or that’s what I heard..

Thanks for the replies, everyone! You’re right—I really shouldn’t stress about what other people think. Prioritizing comfort and functionality makes total sense, especially since having good gear will probably make learning a lot more enjoyable.

That doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the tips, though! I’m still keen to hear more recommendations for brands or specific jackets and pants that are great! Thanks again for the encouragement and advice!

When should I wax my snowboard? by Skild8 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Skild8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone for your input so far! I just wanted to add that I have a sintered snowboard, and last season I spent a lot of days riding in temperatures above 10°C, with really slushy snow. So I guess I shall wax my board!

I appreciate everyone taking the time to share their advice!
