Proper fit and maximum protection are key when choosing

 The right boot liners are also important—they should give you ample protection, insulation, and provide the right traction while not impeding your feet’s tactile senses and the ability to feel the board’s motions. The best boots, bindings, and liners are not only stylish but utilise materials with modern technological advancements such as flex, moisture control, ventilation, anti-microbial properties, temperature management, anatomical support, malleability, and impact minimisers.HeadgearAlthough veteran snowboarders consider helmet-mounted cameras and mp3 headphones ‘necessary’, the most important things you should have on your head (aside from your cap or hoodie) are a helmet and goggles. 

Proper fit and maximum protection are key when choosing a helmet. The best helmets are not only structurally tough, they are also lightweight, have clean lines to help with aerodynamics, and are adjustable (or even mouldable) for the best fit. Temperature control and ventilation are also bonuses. Making FTTH Outdoor Distribution Boxs sure your helmet strap is comfortable and secure is also important. As for goggles (necessary for protection against higher UV rays and glares, as well to protect your eyes from snow and ice), you can go either basic or high-tech. The most advanced goggles not only feature high-tech design and materials, but also have built-in cameras, GPS, phone/messaging system, and computer system to provide data, help you navigate difficult slopes, and also log in your stats for analysis (or bragging rights).

SnowboardYour board, of course, is course your primary piece of equipment; after all, you can’t snowboard without a snowboard! Like your bindings, your choice of board should reflect your style, so it’s okay to wait a while before you purchase your own. Try out various boards—snowboarding schools and snow equipment shops can help here, and even some catered ski chalets have some available for use. Shape, aerodynamics, toughness, pressure sensitivity, manoeuvrability, and weight are some of the things you should consider. High-tech materials and hybrid shapes are constantly being developed, and once you’ve pinned down your personal style and specific needs, you may even consider having one manufactured from your own bespoke design!For those who've never tried this exciting sport, booking one of the excellent catered ski chalets offers the perfect opportunity to find a whole new favourite winter sport!
