Snowboard Pant : What is it?
| Snowboard pants are snowboarding apparel designed to keep the lower body, warm, dry, and comfortable. They also protect it from bumps, scrapes, and scratches in case of falls or collision with trees, snowboards, and other snowboarders. Snowboard pants can have one-, two-, or three-layer constructions. |

Kneecaps: Look for snowboard pants with kneecaps or extra padding on the knees for protection to your knees. Your knees are susceptible to bruising when falling forward.
Loose fit: Choose snowboard pants that allow you a lot of movement for performing snowboarding tricks such as spins and jumps. They should not pinch in the crotch area when you bend or stretch. |
