Nowadays, it has become fashionable to play sports and monitor your health. There are many options for outdoor activities, but a huge number of people are attracted to ski resorts. When the snowboard season begins, not only professionals, but also amateurs go to the snowy slopes of the mountains to exercise in the fresh air. Particular attention must be paid to the costume. After all, snowboard clothing is different from the one in which we used to go to work or to the park in the winter. If you are a beginner, then in the appropriate stores you can find everything you need: boards, boots, bindings and jackets for snowboarding. Casual clothes will not work, as you can be very cold and sick.
Many are interested in a completely logical question: "How to make a purchase so that the snowboard clothes are comfortable, high-quality and suitable in all respects?".
To get started, you must understand that a snowboarder costume necessarily has many layers. The first is always thermal underwear. Its main function is to prevent hypothermia of the body and body. It should not warm, as some "woe-specialists" think. When you are actively moving, your body temperature rises, sweat is released, as a result of which the body begins to cool. So thermal underwear should well and quickly absorb moisture and evaporate it. Such underwear usually consists of synthetics (polyester), although spandex or lycra is sometimes added. This is done so that the laundry fits well to the body. Remember the important thing - thermal underwear made of wool and cotton - not thermal underwear! It may contain a small percentage of cotton, but not at all 100% cotton. So, it is important to know that thermal underwear should sit well on you and be sized. There are models that fall just below the knees. In this case, it is assumed that you will wear special snowboard socks.
Snowboard clothing also has a second layer - insulation. But he is called upon to preserve heat, but at the same time to get rid of his excesses, to bring them out, so that in no case there is overheating. A fleece sweatshirt is a great second coat. Moisture passes very well through it. Cotton is somewhat worse in this respect; it does not breathe so well. But lovers of woolen sweaters should abandon their habit of snowboarding in them. It is not right! A sweatshirt must be chosen according to the principle of convenience. It should not hamper your movements, but do not take too large a size.
And finally, the third layer that snowboard clothing has is a membrane. The work of the first two layers is completely dependent on him. You have to spend a good amount of money to purchase it. The objective of this layer is not to let moisture in from the outside in. It can be both pants and snowboard jackets. Pants should be wide enough to perform various tricks, be sure to have loops for the belt and pockets. It is best to choose models with ventilation. The jacket should also be fairly loose. Try to put it on and raise your hand up. Feel it? If the sleeve, as they say, does not pull, then your size should be taken. It is best to choose models with different tightenings, a "skirt", which will protect against the ingress of snow inside the jacket. Very convenient internal pockets, which easily fit a mobile phone or player.
Be sure to think through accessories. Mittens are warmer than gloves, but they are inconvenient to fight with fasteners. The hat should not limit the view and protect your head from the wind. And glasses are the very thing that is necessarily included in a snowboarder’s outfit . They protect from snow, sun, wind and so on.
When choosing equipment for skiing, remember that snowboard clothing should be comfortable, high-quality and have an affordable price. Although you should not save on your own health.
