buyers’ guide apparel & accessories Accessorising your snowboarding set-up can be infectious. Once you’ve purchased the latest jacket you’ll need to buy some gloves to match. No new pair of goggles is complete without a matching beanie, and maybe some new sunnies to go with that look too. The Snowboarder Accessories Guide is designed to help you do some research into the best accessories on the market. If you’re a little more informed when you hit your local store then it’s likely you’ll make the correct decision when it comes to accessorising your set-up. www.snowboardermag.com.au

OUTERWEAR
what to know about purchasing outerwear
YOUR DEFENCE AGAINST THE ELEMENTS THE FIT
The fit is critical to the effectiveness and comfort of the outerwear. The important points to check are that the sleeves are the right size when your arms are fully outstretched and your jacket doesn’t ride up your back, exposing flesh when you are in a crouched position.
THE FABRIC The fabric used in outerwear will vary considerably from manufacturer to manufacturer. Further, most manufacturers will treat their fabrics either via lamination or coating technology to enhance the waterproofing of the fabric.

All outerwear contains stitching and hence holes through which water can enter and ruin your day. The thing to look for is taped seams. Some manufacturers tape the seams to prevent water from entering through the stitching.
THE WATERPROOF RATING Let’s face it, a jacket will never be 100% waterproof, however, via research and development into fabrics and construction techniques manufacturers can improve the waterproofing of their outerwear. Waterproofness is measured by placing a vertical column on the fabric and filling it with water to see how high an amount can be tolerated before the water seeps through. Thus you have the ratings in millimeter measurements. The higher the number the more waterproof the garment.

When purchasing outerwear keep in mind the conditions you are most likely to use the jacket in. If you find yourself constantly freezing on the hill think about opting for a down jacket or something more insulated perhaps. Alternatively if you’re always hot, consider a shell jacket and wear warmer layers underneath on the colder days. For those learning to ride try to opt for pants with an insulated butt and higher waterproof factor, as you’ll find yourself spending a lot of time in contact with the snow.

GOGGLES Given we all have a varying facial shape to one another, you’ll find some brands suit and fit your face better than others. Best to try on a few different ones to find something you’re comfortable with. Also keep in mind that different goggle lenses are better suited to certain conditions. A dark, mirrored lens is perfect for bright bluebird days while yellow or rose work best for flatlight or fog. Orange or grey are good allrounders but its always handy to have a low light lens in your kit should conditions dictate it’s use.
