GEAR FOR KIDS

10 MUST HAVE SNOWBOARDING ESSENTIALS

HAVE YOU BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THE BEST SNOWBOARDING GEAR FOR KIDS AND WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED?  I'VE GOT YOU COVERED!

We've been snowboarding with our kids for almost 12 years and have tried a LOT of gear. Here's what you really need!

our essentials for snowboaring with kids

Kids snowboard & bindings

Choose a snowboard that is specifically designed for kids who are learning and is sized appropriately.

outerwear

waterproof

When looking for what to wear when snowboarding, you’ll want to choose waterproof and breathable outerwear to keep everyone dry and comfortable.

warm baselayers

Warm baselayers (and midlayers) are crucial to keeping everyone happy and comfortable on the slopes. 

Snowboard Socks

The best socks for snowboarding are warm, thick (but not too chunky), well-fitting, and moisture-wicking.

Gloves or Mittens

We prefer mittens over gloves. Our hands stay warmer, it’s easier to pair with a liner glove for warmth, and they are easier to take on and off.

helmet

We like helmets with MIPS in bright colors for kids.

goggles

Make sure they fit properly with your kids' helmet!

Head & neck coverings

To keep little faces & necks warm.

individual gear bags

Keep things organized & less likely to get lost or forgotten.
