Snowboard Clothing
It is amazing to see the great changes that sports clothes have
suffered through history, and of course snowboarding is not an
exception. Since the very moment snowboarders appeared, they
have shown a unique style, a way of life that differs
significantly from other sports such as skiing.
Skiing is considered a classic sport; ski competitions are much
alike each other and everyone who skies has a style which seems
to be the same from person to person. On the other hand,
snowboarding is a sport based on individuality and freedom. As
many other sportsmen and women, snowboarders have a special set
of clothing specifically designed for them, much like people who
practice urban sports such as skateboarding.
Season after season, snowboard clothing seems to evolve to allow
snowboarders more freedom, as they need to jump ad high as
possible and do many difficult movements. Although this freedom
to move is essential and highly appreciated by boarders, they
also search for clothing that offers the maximum possible
durability, without disregarding quality.
As new fabrics appear on the market, snowboard clothing is
becoming more stretchable and
breathable, providing waterproof
protection at the same time.
But let's not forget about the looks!. As many other sportsmen
and women, snowboarders prefer clothing that reflects their
lifestyle; outstanding looks will help them distinguish from
their boarder fellows, preserving and enhancing their feeling of
uniqueness. Blacks, dark blues and navies are being less used
than before, as sky blues, light reds and grays are (mostly
combined with lightful colors, as yellow or bright orange)
becoming the number one snowboarders' choice.
Many snowboarding clothes manufacturers are beginning to make
jackets without hoods; some even remove pockets from their
jacket designs. This results not only in "cool" looks, but make
the clothes less expensive too. They are also beginning to make
their clothing less bulky, and as a result many snowboarders
show their taste for slimwear.
