Before you hit the slopes, you need to make sure that you’re dressed properly. Nothing takes away from a good day of snowboarding than being cold and wet. Dressing in layers is the most important aspect, as layers serve to not only insulate but keep you dry as well, so you can stay out longer. The third layer will usually consist of a snowboarding jacket and pants. Since the third layer protects you from wind and water, take the time to make sure you’re getting clothing that will fit these needs. Jackets that use Gortex are lightweight and durable so you can be assured you will get years of use out of them.
