All snowboard jacket and pants will keep out the snow – that goes without saying. However, there are levels of waterproofing depending on your activities and your exposure to the elements. An important measure is the water column. The water column describes the amount of water that is needed to permeate through the material over 24 hours. The higher the number, the dryer you’ll stay.

For a snowboard jacket to work correctly, it needs to prevent water from getting in but also release sweat in the form of vapour away from your body. If you don’t release this vapour, you’ll feel cold, clammy and sweaty. Like waterproofing, breathability is measured in how much water vapour is released over 24 hours. The higher the number, the more breathable and better at moving sweat away your outerwear will be. Sweaty, Vapor, Touring, Need To Know, Prevention, Release

Seam sealing is essential for snowwear. When ski jackets and pants are sewn together, there are tiny holes on the seam through the usually waterproof materials. Sealed seams are taped on the inside to maintain the waterproofing of the garments. Snowboard jackets and pants can either have fully taped seams, where every seam had been taped or critically taped, where only the most exposed seams have been taped.

To find the right helmet for your head, you are going to have to measure it, of course. The fit is also extremely important for the best protection. Helmets that are too big can slip. In doing so they lose their protective function and instead there is an additional risk of injury due to the helmet. Helmets that are too small are obviously uncomfortable, can cause headaches and don't have a big enough protective surface. Buyers Guide, Injury, Risk, Extreme

Materials can change and, in turn, their protective qualities. EPS foam loses its full protection after an impact. The glues that are used to bind the layers together can lose their adhesive power due to weather conditions. Glues, Weather Conditions, Reasons, Adhesive
