A few other tips. Hardwarmers! Throw one in-between your glove liner & shell to start the day. Put your gloves and boots somewhere WARM as you get ready/in the car, you can also throw some warmers in them. If they start warm they'll stay warm much longer. You can also bring a 2nd set of glove liners and keep them close to your body to swap out.
Have done more than a healthy amount of research on this topic. Best to have a base layer that is nice and snug, not flopping around so that it is close to skin and can do that job of 'wicking' perspiration away from the body. Amazing what a difference to your day some sun can make. Skied recently in 3 degrees fahrenheit (-16c) and sun was out. Ended up way too hot as had added an addition mid layer thinking it would be freezing. Ended up as one of the warmest days of the trip even though temps were so low!
Man I've been thoroughly researching all this gear for the past 2 months trying to figure out what the best thing is for the buck... Basically it boils down to either polyester or wool. Or combination.. smart wool Each have their own pros and cons You could make a whole video based on that. Mid layer doesn't matter so much.. just something that either matches the weather or potential idle time where you won't provide your own heat. Shell doesn't have to be Gore Tex.. but if you're in the pnw.. it helps Good nylon or poly with dwr is good enough most instances. 10k 5k will do You don't need to get all name brand.. I know you know this but may help beginners on tight budget. Thrift store is your friend. Especially in resort town.. The yuppies donate their last year stuff all the time you can come up on some good items. Just be choosy about the materials the stuff you buy is made out of and how it fits. All the other stuff is personal preferences ✌🏽
Suggest save money and avoid Smartwool unless you are skiing a lot and are worried about fabrics stinking up. Picked up a bargain base layer with 19 percent wool and could not recommend enough. Brand was Glissade. Other than that have also been extremely satisfied with a basic synthetic compression layer.
wool keeps you warm when it gets wet, especially socks. Polyester or cotton does not hold warm once its wet. I like a cotton baselayer to soak up sweat incase is sweat. Polyester baselayer does not soak up sweat.
Smartwool or Ice Breaker socks is all I wear!! Buy them end of season as they are pricey but totally worth it. They don't smell either! Also get some bib pants. Not only for extra storage in terms of pockets but also keeps the chest warmer and no snow up your back. Especially if you are a beginner! Also get mitts instead of gloves, you can even wear thin gloves in bigger mitts. Love the content!!
What I learned after my first 5h on the snow(3 days of snowboarding). Your pants are really important. One good pair is enough for amateur like me for 1 week of riding but they need to be water repellent. I heard people trying to ride with jeans but ended up getting out after 1h because they were all wet and cold. Second thing - do not leave your gear in car trunk - it will get moisture and for example your gloves can be very stiff if they are made from leather(synthetic or not).
The mid layer depends on the area. In Lake Tahoe, it doesn't get that cold to require a mid layer jacket like in the video. I usually run with a base layer and shell jacket, On the colder days, I'll add a mid layer thermal sweater and maybe a scarf,
Could you elaborate on what is being considered "cold"? Going to Colorado next month and it should be in the 20-30's, is that considered cold for a mid layer? TIA
Wet is cold, Dry is warm. Stay dry and you’ll stay warm. Too warm that you sweat means you’ll be cold once you’re not moving. Wearing a quality base layer will help you be more comfortable out there shredding 100%
You didn't say Polyester, Polypropylene or Merino Wool once in this video about layering. If you're gonna make a video like this you need to actually explain stuff otherwise its just a try-on haul right? Why use which fabric when? Why is cotton so bad for a base layer? Whats the difference between lightweight, midweight, expedition weight? What is Gore-tex? What is a shell? This video offered basically no real information other than links for the stuff you wear. Sounds harsh yes but I critique with love.
I'm from a motocross background, and the essentials all revolve around protection (I've personally broken at least a dozen bones racing). Getting into winter sports now, and love snowboarding, but with the amount of broken bones you guys get, I'm amazed the only protection anyone seems to think is important is an (open face) helmet. What gives? if you guys KNOW you're going to be snapping wrists, breaking collarbones and destroying knees, why aren't you armoring up so you can confidently go hard in your sport?...
I will say working park crew my rainy day set up is volcome vortex overalls and a Burton ak windbreaker expensive set up but when it’s 30 degrees out raining it’s worth it to stay dry
Hi Kevin, love these vids! I've been looking for new snowboarding pants and the ones you have in this video are the exact fit I'm after but the pants you linked in the description are not the same. I would very much appreciate if you could let me know the model of those pants. Thank you! :)
You mention your pants being a shell and not warm “but that is what the baselayer is designed to do” That is not true, the baselayer is designed to transport moisture away from your skin. A baselayer is to keep your skin dry, not warm. For warmth, you need a mid layer out insulated outer layer as that’s the job of a mid layer, not a baselayer. The bigger issue with gloves/mits is hands being too hot that they sweat. As we don’t use baselayers with gloves, this moisture is what makes your hands cold, getting a warmer glove (or mitt) won’t actually help
Its important not to wear a hat under your helmet, it doesnt fit securely and makes it less effective. Many helmets have liners and ear guards to help keep your head warm so you dont need a hat

Awesome content.
I suggest impact shorts for any rider.
I use the burton ones. Feels just like boxer briefs and are really comfortable.
Got some recently to protect the tailbone and add some confidence
Loved seeing jake helping with the filming

@@brandonatchley3519how was it? 20-30 you’ll get pretty warm if you have a midlayer
Those mittens are so sick
Its great to see how you actually layer yourself kev.
Wearing a beanie below the helmet feels really awkward to me and I don't see many people doing it. But that might just not be as common in Europe.
What do you wear under your helmet then?
@@Realmikegbmx6x Nothing.
Was thinking the same. It might be an europe thing because almost no one here does it

Base layers are so key!
Looks like I’m set for the snow!
the timing, nice stuff thanks, I didn't know there were specific snowboard socks, was planning to use wool socks tbh.
Knee pads are a must if you are in the east coast or ride park/groomed trails.

I Love your videos, they are SUPER easy to follow
I like your editing style, ha ha ha very comical
i wear an impact vest (without sleeves) for snowboarding + snowkiting with 3do material, stay flexible until i crash.
I will say working park crew my rainy day set up is volcome vortex overalls and a Burton ak windbreaker expensive set up but when it’s 30 degrees out raining it’s worth it to stay dry
You missed the snowboardpro camp tutorial video, that's something you should carry while you're on the mountain :)
don’t forget get a good 10k and above jacket so you can use it in winter on rainy days too! not just for the mtn
Gear choice so much comes down to preferences.
I dont know if I'm just a heavy breather but those Blackstrap balaclava's are just trash. I find they hold the moisture and then freezes from the cold
I bought it, used it once and never touch it again
Good to know. What balaclava's do you use?
@@byst33 i use a dakine one, I forgot the model name though. I find the ones that have like a wool blend on the inside are the best
I've had similar issues with mine when covering my mouth and nose. Might look into wool
Fleece does this and it’s horrible
Fitting a base layer under snowboarding socks with compression... works as warm up for the day 😅
Such a sick intro
Yours i just as good brother
Thank you buddy!
4:00 Thats what kept me watching and the video itself
Thanks man 🤙🏽
I wear sweatpants as mid-layers for the bottoms. My legs get cold easily.
very good filmed that start on video xD
all about the base layer
Thanks for this! Do you have recommendations for wrist guards and knee pads?
Demon or Protek are not bad

Do you wear a beanie under your helmet?
I do. For me it’s more comfortable to do the beanie and goggle strap under the helmet
i was wondering what size jacket your wearing cause i wanna get the same one but not sure what size i’m 6’1ft 150 pounds
3 layers sounds like something for -20C°
Can I wear regular sports leggings for a base layer?
Why dont you use the MFI that comes with the Anon m4`?
Surprised he didn’t even mention bibs
Im not going to lie i just put a sweater on with a beanie with shoes and go snowboarding
Cool
Thanks!
Is putting baselayer underneath socks just preference?
Was thinking the same. I start like that but always end up with base layer on top 😅
Wearing the base layer under your socks will keep the base layer in place when you move around and when youtake your pants and boots on.
How do you feel about Bib vs pants? I’ve always worn pants but found them irritating and prone to sliding down so am considering switching to Bib
Get a one piece snow suit! I recommend Tobe. You'll never go back
No more getting a back full of snow when you stack it, unbeatable!@@louismenard48
I have bib and I like it a lot
Elbow pads, knee pads, impact shorts, wrist guards….. everybody falls.
This double jacket still blows my mind. Anoraks just not my cup of tea.

JACKET - is $10k?!
10ks a bit steep for a jacket like
Its not Giro Ledge....
Smith Maze my bad!

First comment KEVVVYYYY YEEWWW
Drinking game: take a shot everytime he says warm or dry
Boarding socks, 3/4 UA compression summer pants, pants, t shirt and 1620 hoodie (starched) down to low teens riding.
Team overheat 😂😂😂
