Mudguts 0 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 If you could buy only 1 top of the line, no expences spared piece of snowboarding equipment, what would it be? I'm leaning towards a jacket myself but, I'm interested to know what others would do. Link to post Share on other sites

rachael 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 It took me ages to find some boots that I really really liked, I think they're really important too. We can't have angry feet. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Either Bindings or Boots, but mostly Bindings. Link to post Share on other sites
rossirider 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Boots...bindings are good too, but I still remember the old school daze of stainless steel baseplates with cheap plastic straps and highbacks. My point being, like Rach says, as long as your feet aren't angry, you can manage to ride almost any quality board and binding set-up. After boots...clothes, its just no fun when you're cold and wet.

SKI 15 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I know you said snowboarding, but in my case - skiing - boots really are such an important part of the setup. I spend my first few years back when with some terrible boots (I didn't know they were that bad at the time). I couldn't believe the incredible difference when I got my first expensive, custom fit ones done. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Yes, boots. I love my boots. This season I will most likely be riding with hard boots as part of my split board set up. I am going for very light and flexi AT/Rando boots coupled with plate bindings on a freeride board. I think it will be an interesting first few days on the snow. Today I bought myself my xmas presents and included in the booty was some of that Arc'teryx stuff. Sweet jesus , it is pricy gear for seemingly insubstantial pants and jacket. The jacket is literally a layet of material, thats it! Gunna miss my powder skirt but with the lumberjack bib I will be fine. I had no idea how stinkingly heavy my normal snobo jacket was. It is like a lead poncho!! I will be earing this new stuff for the next 8 seasons. Boots are the most importnat though. Link to post Share on other sites
