Good morning family 6.9 today we will address the topic of the equipment to have during our days on the track, off-piste or park… In fact, wearing the appropriate protections can make the difference between an unforgettable day on the snow and the risk of injury. In this article, we will discover all the essential protections to fully enjoy snowboarding safely.
1. Helmet: The helmet is the most essential element of all protections, so you have to tie it well and that it is of the right size (it must not dance in the head) but don’t worry!! If you have rented in our Snowhouse at Tonale you will have nothing to worry about! We take care of everything!! 😎
2. Back protector: whether you are a pro or a beginner, get used to wearing it from the first time.
3. Knee pads: hard or soft (even the soft volleyball ones are excellent) it will give you relief even just when you kneel on the snow. not to mention falls on the track. or on the pits/jumps/rails..
4. Shoulder and elbow protectors: you often find them in jackets with back, chest, shoulders and elbow protectors. They are comfortable and very functional jackets! Or even the classic “shells” with bands.
5. Wrist guards: you can find them both individually and included in your gloves.
6. Essential in snowboarding!! Guess what?? The mask or protective goggles!! Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with suitable lenses!!
7. Finally, always carry a nice tube of HIGH protection sunscreen SFP, to protect the skin from sun damage and cold winds
Remember that wearing the right protection will help you reduce the risk of injury and allow you to have fun in the snow with peace of mind. Never forget to check the condition of the protections and replace them when necessary to maintain their optimal level of protection, otherwise as written above. rely on experts!!
