Snowboard accessories: gear up and protect yourself on all slopes

Choose the right accessories according to your level

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced freeride snowboarder, every snowboard accessory plays an essential role. Proper equipment not only improves comfort but also enhances safety on pistes and off-piste. From a snowboard helmet to a mountain backpack, every detail matters.

Protect your head with a suitable snowboard helmet

Head protection is crucial, and choosing the right snowboard helmet should not be taken lightly. There are different models depending on your practice:

• The in-mold helmet: lightweight and well ventilated, ideal for riders seeking comfort.
• The MIPS system: reduces rotational forces in case of a fall.
• Brands like SMITH offer high-end models suitable for all levels.

Improve your vision with a snowboard mask adapted to the weather

A good snowboard mask provides optimal visibility in all conditions. It is crucial to choose a model depending on lighting:

• Cloudy day mask: clear lenses to see even in low light.
• Bright sun mask: dark or mirrored lenses to reduce glare.
• Photochromic mask: automatically adapts to ambient light.

Keep your hands warm with technical snowboard gloves

Snowboard gloves must offer warmth, waterproofing, and freedom of movement. Prefer models with reinforced palms, breathable membranes, and long cuffs to prevent snow infiltration. Some gloves include rigid protections or hand warmers for maximum comfort.

Snowboard protections for every body part

For safe riding, consider snowboard protections:

• Knee pads: protect joints during low-speed falls or on rails.
• Back protectors: essential off-piste to absorb shocks to the back.
• Wrist guards: highly recommended for beginners prone to forward falls.

Transport your gear with a sturdy snowboard bag

For traveling with your board, nothing beats a snowboard bag. It protects your equipment from shocks, moisture, and scratches. Prefer a padded model with wheels for comfort during transport. Some bags even allow storage of your boots and accessories.

Stay ready with well-designed tools and pads

A small screwdriver can make a big difference on the slopes. Tools and pads are essential for:

• Tightening your bindings if they loosen.
• Improving usage comfort with anti-slip pads on the snowboard.

Keep a multitool in your bag to be ready for any eventuality.

Backpack: an indispensable snowboard accessory for your outings

The backpack is much more than just an accessory. It allows you to carry your snacks, a water bottle, and safety gear such as avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe. In freeride, it is a vital element.

• Choose an ergonomic model with chest strap and waist belt.
• Opt for well-thought compartments, easy to access even with gloves.
• Some backpacks include a snowboard carrier or a hydration system pocket.

Snowboard accessories: the right gear makes the difference

Whatever your style or level, proper equipment is a priority. Choosing a suitable snowboard helmet, a high-performance snowboard mask, or snowboard protections such as knee pads or a back protector, contributes to your safety. A snowboard bag, tools and pads, and a good backpack complete your kit to tackle each day with confidence.
