The correct clothes are also important for the snowboarder as the board, the slope and existence of snow, it has to defend in cold, wind, moisture and also to be convenient and not to hold down movements. Conditionally equipment for the snowboard can be divided into three layers: layered clothing, heater and membrane.
Instruction
1. The layered clothing is necessary in order that the organism didn't overcool when sweating. It quickly absorbs moisture and quickly evaporates it. Choose the layered clothing from 100% of synthetic materials (most often for this purpose use polyester) – linen with cotton addition dries longer therefore isn't suitable for the snowboard. The thermoshirt has to have the long fitting sleeves and adjoin densely to the body, at the same time without rubbing anywhere. Thermotrousers can be to the ankle or 78 long - choose in what it is more convenient to you. Pay special attention to socks, buy thin synthetic socks by height to the middle of the shin. Such models won't allow legs to sweat or become stiff from driving.
2. The problem of the second layer is warming. The optimal variant – the fleece jacket or the jersey. Fleece is the fabric which very well holds heat, it gives the chance to evaporate to moisture which was removed by the layered clothing. Choosing the second layer of clothes, pay attention to convenience.
3. The problem of the third layer – the membrane is the conclusion of the evaporated moisture outside, at the same time without allowing moisture and snow to get inside, besides, the membrane has to defend in wind. When choosing the jacket (trousers) pay attention to membrane parameters. The breathable or RET parameter – the indicator of resistance to breath: than it is less, that better fabric breathes. waterproof indicator – water tightness: for the jacket the value of 5000 mm, for trousers – 10000 mm is optimum. Outerwear shouldn't hold down movements, besides, it can not have heater at all. When choosing trousers pay attention to existence of the elastic band below. Jacket sleeves have to have too such elastic band and also various inhalings and fasteners which prevent snow hit.
