Equipment

There can be a lot of equipment or gear you could bring along for snowboarding or skiing. Some of the basic equipment is snow pants, a jacket, extra layers (if you want), boots, gloves, and a hat. Snow pants can come in pretty much any color you want so you can choose from a wide variety. You can wear any kind of jacket you want when you snowboard but if you really want to you could buy a snowboarding jacket. Snowboarding jackets aren't as big as regular jackets but they are warm because they are specially insulated. You can also find jackets that have pockets where you put your headphones through so they aren't exposed. Jackets also come with a bunch of other things so it also depends where you buy it and who you buy it from. It's up to you if you want to wear extra layers because you might get cold and you can always take layers off. You should bring extra layers just in case because you never know how cold it will get through out the day. Snowboarding boots come in single lining or double lining. You should buy double lined boots because your feet could get cold and that would be a waste of money if you bought single lined and then bought double lined. When you snowboard you also want to wear long socks because the boots will make your legs irritated. Snowboarding companies also make socks especially for snowboarding and or skiing. You want to wear a thick pair of gloves when you snowboard because you don't want to get frostbite on your hands. If you can get waterproof gloves you should wear those because your gloves can get really wet and it gets kind of uncomfortable after a while. You can also just bring 2 pairs of gloves if you want to change during snowboarding but its up to you. Any hat will do as long as it can keep your head warm its good. You could also wear a hood hat, which is a hat, but it goes over your whole head and covers your neck. If you don't like wearing hats you could always wear a helmet because they act like a hat also. You can also get a helmet with speakers in it so you can plug your Ipod into it instead of wearing headphones. If you wear a hat you might want to wear something that covers your neck because snow can easily get on your neck or it could get cold and it doesn't feel good. You could wear a scarf or a neck scarf, which goes over your neck and can cover your mouth and nose to keep your face warm. They also make face masks that are tight around your face to keep your face warm. Something that is also an important thing to wear is goggles. You can go without goggles but it helps so wind isn't getting in your eyes and so snow doesn't get in them if it's snowing. You can go to any snowboard place to get these things including one of the most popular ones Burton.
