Do you like being soaking wet when you’re snowboarding?

Or blind? Have you ever tried carrying all your gear into the cabin of a plane? Or had to hold your shovel and probe while riding all day? Sometimes shit happens and you can’t avoid these situations, and you might even laugh about it afterwards. You probably won’t be laughing so much if they happen to you repeatedly, because you’ve realised that you’re an idiot.

The point we’re slowly trying to make is this - with the right gear, your snowboard experience will be much, much more enjoyable. So whether you’re like Lenny Powers and plan on showing some skin, or you prefer to stay wrapped up like Gigi, we highly recommend that you keep turning these pages to see the choicest outerwear and accessories on offer for you the ‚19/’20 winter.

Go on, get outta here ya filthy animal
