Snowboard Gear
Choosing the right snowboard gear can be fun, but it can also be overwhelming. There is no end to the accessories and items that you can buy to improve your snowboarding experience. Altitude Sports carries a wide range of top-rated snowboarding gear to help make your next trip to the slopes an enjoyable one.
If your riding style is all-mountain, like the majority of snowboarders, you’ll probably find softer boots are more appropriate. Generally speaking, the more novice... the rider, the softer the boots. If you are in the business of completing complicated snowboard maneuvers, then you’ll want to choose a more stiff boot.
You’ll choose your snowboard bindings based on your boot size. It’s important that the bindings match the boot. Like boots, newer ridings prefer softer bindings and more experienced riders prefer their bindings to be more stiff. Strap in bindings are the most common type, though you can also get step-on or rear-entry.
You’ll want to choose your snowboard based on length, width, shape, and style. These factors will change depending on your height, weight, and level of snowboard expertise.
Plus, all orders from Altitude Sports ship for free across Canada after a minimum of $74 is spent.
