The main two complaints most new snowboarders have is that they are cold and that they are uncomfortable. By getting quality beginner snowboard gear, you can avoid both of these problems. Luckily for you, I'm going to try on each piece of my snowboarding gear for beginners and teach you all of the tips you'll need for choosing the best women's snowboard gear.
In this snowboard gear haul video, I try on my snowboarding gear to show you exactly what I wear while snowboarding.
Before I went snowboarding for the first time, I had no idea what to expect. I had never been to a ski resort in the winter, and I had no idea what type of gear I would need to try snowboarding for the first time as a beginner snowboarder. I've learned a lot in the three years I've been snowboarding, and I'm passing those learnings onto you so you can feel confident when you're looking for beginner snowboarder gear.
In today's video, I walk you through the features of each piece of my snowboard gear for women and offer tips for purchasing snowboard gear. I'm going to talk through the features of my snowboarding gear I love, features I don't like, what I wish I would have bought instead, why I chose the colors of my snowboard gear, etc. Women's snowboarding gear is so fun, there's a reason why I have bright pink snowboard pants. We'll talk about the best women's snowboarding gear, and the tips for buying cheap snowboard gear.
Find out why I bought pink snowboarding pants, why my snowboarding coat is grey and why armpit vents are life for your snowboard coat. Find out if I'm glad I bought mittens for my snowboarding gloves, or if I wish I would have bought normal gloves. Either way, I'm obsessed with my wrist straps on my snowboard gloves, they are a must-have for sure. I'll also talk through my built-in ear covers on my snowboarding helmet for girls, and the thing I didn't know when I bought my snowboarding goggles and what type of snowboard goggles I want to buy next time.
When it comes to snowboard boots for beginner snowboarders, you want to find a pair that is going to be comfortable. If your snowboard boots are uncomfortable, there is no way you are going to have a fun day. Use these tips for buying snowboard gear when you buy snowboard gear for the first time.
I created The Gear Lady because I love to adventure and try new things, and every time I tried something new, the main resource available was to learn from experts or professionals. I want to help make snowboarding more accessible to everyday people. I'm a normal person, and I explain things in "normal person terms."

Fello snowboarder and somebody who just loves being on the powder , Roxy makes a good mitten and what you do is you get your mittens one size bigger than your hands and then what you do is wear a tech glove inside your mittens or you get a large say if your hand is large and you wear your tech glove underneath it will make your mittens a little bulky but that's the trick on your tech glow solution and also, congrats on your video and sharing personally I'm a fan of pretty much everything Roxy does because like most of their gloves and mittens have built-in elastic mitten straps, but just thought I would share and also it's important that you're bored is set up correctly for your style of boarding note you want your front part of your board to be situated more back so that your front is a little bit longer than your back of your board! and when it comes to buying things, like your snowboard boots you want them to be the exact size of your foot because the one thing you got to watch out for is your heel rising up because then you're not getting good board control so, if your heel isn't being locked down correctly then you're not able to get a good maneuverability on the slopes. love your videos and just thought I'd share! And just remember the more comfortable you feel on the slopes the better off you'll be, and as a beginner, you want to avoid all the brands that are not specifically made for snowboarding, because those brands aren't going to do you as good out on the slopes and won't come with features that you need in order to stay safe out there when you're writing that powder because the altitude change can change the temperature because you're closer to the Sun the higher up you go which means it can get slightly warmer on the top of the slopes and since heat rises because it is lighter than air think about it then what happens is if you don't have the right gear then you'll get two warm and your sweat will pool and sweat is your Achilles heel when it comes to having a great time out on the slopes. Also I myself prefer one piece suits because no snow can get in and at the moment I own a Roxy one piece snowsuit that is amazing and my favorite piece of gear I own! take care and have a great rest of your time well upon the face of this Earth, you beautiful snowboarder so take time to enjoy the view and rock on down the slopes we go.

I am looking for new pants thats how i got here :) firstly beautiful outfit, really nice with the fur! but i have some problems with my outfit: i get snow under my pants every day (from above), my snowkskirts doesnt protect enough so throughout the day on the track there is about 1fall/day when snow can get in , and i dont need to say, my base layer wont get dry again. You really dont get wet with those 'hooks' i meant there is still space between them for the snow.. Therefore i would suggest every no-pro snowboarders to buy pants with suspenders AND a zip option to the jacket, otherwise it can get really wet. My other problem that i have an ass protector which is .. not the prettiest thing, but last year I had a terrible fall which hurt my tailbone so it is a MUST for me :D so i suppose i need to get one size bigger pants this time, and give up my plans to look pretty on track as you :D actually I am considering to buy an overall. Actually for every beginners i would suggest to buy protection first ( or at least rent them for the first snowboarding days!): protector glove, ass protector and knee protector. you will spare a lot of pain for yourself. i have a special LEVEL gloves with protector inside, so your wrists wont be hurt ( i broke mine, the day i started boarding, and oc i didnt had this gloves back then ) of course it is bulky as hell and not pretty but i dont care . maybe i was just really lame to need all of this?? :D

Great ideas! My coat has the buttons that connect my pants to my coat, it helps A TON! Also, my pants are Volcom. Volcom has zip-tech technology, unique to Volcom. You can actually zip your pants directly to your coat. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard it’s amazing! I do think the bib would be a good option for beginners though! Protection for newbies is super important though! Thanks so much for watching!

@TheGearLady
@TheGearLady 2 жыл бұрын
Hi! I haven't personally tried them, but I have a friend that has them and he really likes them. If one of your main concerns is getting strapped in and out of your bindings, I think they can be incredibly useful. I haven't bought them yet because of the price point, and also I don't love that the boot options would only be limited to Burton. But, like I said, my friend really likes them so I think it's personal preference!

You’re video was super helpful as I’m trying to find new pants to ride in with a better fit. Thanks for sharing your height and weight and modeling the pants. I’m the same build as you (5’10”, 140) and it can be difficult to find gear for taller women. A lot of times it seems like I have to go for a larger size to get the length but then they are super bulky. As I want to advance my snowboarding skills, I wonder how well these pants will do in the park?

PS also you're bored should be based on your height and weight so you also want to look that up and if you have someone push you on your back and you step forward then that is your foot that you should be having facing the front of your board just thought I would share because the biggest mistake beginners can make is buying gear that isn't right for them and not having their snowboard set up correctly also when you look at your bindings you want your front foot to be at a slight 15° outward angle pointing downwards towards the bottom of the slope if you think of it that way as a beginner and your high back should be set at neutral however that is for comfortability once you get used to your board your high back should be slightly bent to give you better control on your gas pedal AK your front foot so can you get better maneuvering and turning capabilities with your front and back foot just side share take care and have a great rest of your day on this Earth
