Covers
Snowboarding - durable models in the Sportano shopRiding a snowboard is one of the most exciting forms of active leisure in the snow. But to fully enjoy this passion, it is also important to properly protect and store your equipment. This is where snowboard covers come to the rescue. They not only protect your board from mechanical damage and weather conditions, but also make transporting it easier. A protected snowboard is not only a matter of aesthetics but also extends the life of your valuable equipment.Types
Snowboard covers: what to choose?There are several types of snowboard covers, each adapted to different needs and preferences. Here are a few of them:
Soft covers: lightweight and flexible, ideal for short trips. They offer basic protection against scratches.
Hard covers: offer much more protection than the soft versions. They are heavier and can be less comfortable to carry, but are much better if you are planning a long journey with your board.
Heat insulated covers: these covers have an extra layer of insulation to protect your board from temperature changes.
Covers with wheels: ideal for air travel or if you need to transport your board over a long distance.
Multifunctional covers: these have extra compartments for boots, goggles and other accessories.
Materials
and construction: what makes a durable coverMaterials used in the construction of the cover have a direct impact on its durability and effectiveness in protecting your board. Here's what to know:
Nylon and polyester: These are the most common materials used in the manufacture of covers. They are relatively lightweight and offer good abrasion resistance.
Ripstop fabric: This variety of nylon or polyester is specially designed to be more resistant to tears and abrasion.
Lining: Some covers have an additional lining of microfibre or other material to prevent scratches.
Zips and stitching: The quality of the zips and stitching is equally important. Check that the zips are easily accessible and that the stitching is solid.
Waterproof: Some covers have an extra waterproof layer to protect against moisture.
Features
Additional features: pockets, straps and other amenitiesAdditional features in snowboard covers are more than just 'extras'; they are often items that make using and transporting your equipment much easier. Pockets, for example, are not just a place to store small items. In fact, they are often designed to hold specific accessories such as board repair tools, goggles or even provisions for the slopes. With these, everything is close at hand and you don't have to carry an extra bag.
Straps are another element that may seem insignificant on the surface, but in practice is of great importance. Comfortable, adjustable straps can make transporting your board considerably easier, especially over longer distances or difficult terrain. Some covers even offer attachment systems that allow the cover to be attached to a rucksack, which is particularly useful when travelling with more luggage.
In addition to pockets and a strap, many covers also offer other facilities, such as special compartments for snowboard boots and helmets. This is not only convenient, but also practical as it allows you to store all your equipment in one place, which is a definite advantage when travelling.
Some covers go even further, offering advanced features such as removable inserts to stabilise the board, or special loops for additional accessories such as snowboard poles. All this makes the cover not only a tool to protect your snowboard, but also a multifunctional companion for any trip to the slopes.
