Snowboard trousers - choose the model that fits you perfectly
in Sportano shopSnowboard trousers are one of the key elements of clothing of every winter enthusiast on the slopes. Contrary to appearances, they are not only used to protect against the cold. The right pair of trousers protects the snowboarder from moisture, wind and even from injuries during unforeseen falls. This is why choosing the right trousers is so important - it is not just about comfort, but above all about safety.
In Sportano's shop you will find snowboard trousers from well-known brands such as Billabong, Quiksilver, ROXY, Volcom, Rip Curl or DC.Functionality and materials: what to look for when choosing your snowboard trousers
choosing snowboard trousers?
Materials with high water resistance - in the snowboarding world it is often referred to as "mm water resistance" This is a measurement that indicates how many millimetres of water the material can hold before it starts to leak. Standard snowboard trousers have a waterproof rating of 5000-10000 mm, but for more demanding conditions, consider a model with a waterproof rating of 20000 mm or higher.
Breathability of the fabric - in addition to waterproofness, it is important that the trousers are breathable. This means that perspiration and moisture from exertion are effectively wicked away, preventing feelings of discomfort or overheating. Membranes such as Gore-Tex or eVent are great solutions that combine waterproofness with breathability.
Thermal insulation - although many snowboarders believe that the main function of snowboard trousers is to protect against moisture, warmth should not be overlooked. On winter days, it is important that the trousers have adequate thermal insulation. You can choose between trousers with synthetic insulation or so-called 'shell trousers', which do not have an extra layer of insulation but are more breathable.
Flexibility and freedom of movement - snowboarding is a sport that requires a lot of mobility. Therefore the trousers should be flexible enough not to restrict movement. Materials such as elastane or special inserts in key areas such as the knees and hips can significantly increase riding comfort.
Additional features - practical pockets, ventilation in key areas, reinforcements at the ends of the legs or adjustable braces are just some of the extras that can significantly increase the comfort of your snowboard trousers.
Additional features of snowboard trousers: ventilation,
pockets and other amenities When you think of snowboard trousers, the first thing that comes to mind is their main function - protection from the cold and snow. But snowboard trousers are not only a shield against adverse weather conditions. Modern models of these trousers are equipped with a whole range of additional features to improve comfort.
Ventilation is one of the key amenities to keep in mind. During intensive snowboarding, our body generates a lot of heat, which can lead to excessive sweating. Thanks to ventilation systems, usually located inside the thighs or in the crotch area, we can effectively regulate the temperature inside the trousers. They allow excess heat and moisture to quickly escape to the outside, ensuring an optimal microclimate for the legs.
Pockets are another important aspect that must not be forgotten. Snowboarders need somewhere to store small items such as a pass, phone, tissues or energy bar. Modern snowboard trousers offer a variety of pockets - from standard side pockets to cargo pockets to specialised waterproof smartphone pockets. Some of these are additionally equipped with a zip or other closure systems to prevent stored items from falling out.
And we can't forget other amenities, such as reinforcements in vulnerable areas (such as the inside of the legs, which can be exposed to friction from a snowboard) or adjustable braces for a better fit. In addition, non-slip systems at the ends of the legs prevent snow from slipping into your snowboard boots.Trends and styles in the world of snowboard trousers: how to combine fashion with practicality
