Snowboarding knee pads are moving away from skate style pads. We don't really need the cap, so they're lower profile. I'm interested in trying them out this season. I usually wear a knee brace to help support my knee. Seems like snowboarding knee pads aid in that area too. Check them out and let me know if that's what you're looking for.
Thanks for this important thread. I wear a helmet a lot. Not only for protection, but for comfort as well. I have to say that if the helmet does not offer proper ventilation, waterproofing, and ear coverage options, I will not buy it. If it is not comfortable I will not buy it. The last consideration I have looks, although looks are the first thing to attract it to me in the store.PS. I am the operator of the site. Feel free to mention your company name and use plugs, we do not have a rule against that (I know a lot of forums do)!
Thanks for having me. You've got a great community here.I'd love to mention the company name, since I feel this is a good initiative my company is taking, but I wouldn't want to bias any opinions. If anyone would like to know, feel free to send me a message and I'd have no problems in letting y
It is very cool looking, which helps in him wanting to wear it. Same with me, this is very superficial but I don't want one that makes me look like a “bobblehead” haha 8)
This is a very important point. Kids only care about looks. Parents care about comfortable protection, but the helmet has to fit properly to provide that protection. Did you have difficulty finding a helmet that fit? Youth protective equipment is so important, but a proper fit is a little bit difficult to achieve. How about when your son outgrows his helmet? Do you purchase a new one every few seasons?
That's so good to hear. Progression through protection is our motto.How old was your son when he first started snowboarding? They're getting younger and younger. We're hearing 3 years old in some cases. What did you look for when you bought a helmet for him? and yourself? Pro riders not wearing helmets is a crazy issue that I just stepped into recently. The whole image thing has gotten a little bit out of hand. They are a pretty big influence, but unlike in skating, the riders wise up once they experience and survive something beyond their capabilities. That's when they realize that they don't care about being cool, and just want to get better.
