Types of Snowboard Pants Available

ERIK’S has many varieties of snowboard bibs and pants to choose from, both for women and for men. Take a closer look at some of our most popular types.

Insulated Snowboard Pants

These snowboard pants keep you extra warm. Insulated snowboard pants are perfect for those extra chilly days on the mountain.

Shell Snowboard Pants

Shell snowboard pants should be your go-to option for layering. They’re lightweight and versatile, allowing you to add and remove layers as you warm up or as the temperature changes.

Bib Snowboard Pants

Bib snowboard pants are best for coverage and protection in deep snow. They’re also fantastic for preventing snow from getting into your gear and adding another layer of warmth around your core.

Stretch Snowboard Pants

If you’re a freestyle snowboarder who performs a lot of tricks, stretch snowboard pants will become your best friend. They offer enhanced mobility with just enough flexibility to perform however you like without restriction.

Slim-Fit vs. Relaxed-Fit Pants

Riders who prefer a modern style tend to opt for slim-fit pants. Those looking for a more laid-back look may choose a more relaxed-fit snowboard pant. The functionality won’t always differ between the two styles; this is more of an aesthetic choice than a performance one.

Key Features to Look For in Snowboard Pants

What should you look for when shopping for snowboard pants and bibs? Here are some features our experts recommend focusing on.

Waterproofing and Breathability

One of the best materials for waterproofing is Gore-Tex. Compared to standard options, Gore-Tex excels at repelling water while still allowing moisture to escape. This is especially important to avoid leaving you uncomfortable while you sweat. 

Insulation Level

Your ideal insulation level may vary depending on the conditions you tend to board in. Intermediate and professional snowboarders tend to keep two options handy: a heavier one for colder days and a more lightweight option for warmer rides.

Ventilation Zippers

Ventilation zippers are excellent for providing you with on-the-go comfort. These zippers enable you to regulate your body temperature and improve airflow.

Reinforced Knees and Seat

The knees and seat parts of the pants should be extra durable. Look for pants and bibs that have reinforced these areas with extra materials so that you can feel confident your gear can withstand the intensity of the slopes.

Gaiters and Boot Hooks

Gaiters and boot hooks are must-haves for keeping snow out of your shoes. They give the snowboard bibs a more secure fit around your boots to keep you dry while you ride.

Adjustable Waist and Suspenders

For those who want more customization with fit, look for snowboard bibs and pants with adjustable options. This also allows you to wear varying layers depending on the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snowboard Pants

How Do I Choose the Right Fit for Snowboard Pants?

The most important aspects are your body type and riding style. Snowboard pants with adjustable suspenders and waistbands can help you achieve a more customized fit.

What’s the Best Waterproof Rating for Snowboard Pants?

We recommend buying snowboard pants with a waterproof rating of at least 10,000mm. This is usually enough for most weather conditions. For those who board in extreme weather, aim for something closer to 20,000mm or higher.

Are Insulated Snowboard Pants Better Than Shell Pants?

Which option is better for you depends on the outside conditions and your preferences. Insulated pants are best for cold weather, while shell pants give you a lot more flexibility, which can be ideal if you’re out on the slopes for a large part of the day.

How Do I Layer Under Snowboard Pants?

Start with a thermal base under your snowboard pants for a good foundation of warmth. These are ideally layers with moisture-wicking properties to keep you comfortable and dry while you ride.
