It can get frigid while you are out on the mountain, so sometimes extra layering is necessary. It is especially necessary to bundle up your chest especially if you are getting over a cold or if you do not want to get sick. Wearing a vest can help keep you warm for more hours while out on the slopes and it can also jazz up your snowboarding outfit. Mostly every snowboarding company that manufactures snowboard clothing includes vests in their product lines. Companies that make snowboarding vests are the following:
Vests can also come in handy when they provide extra pockets for storage. Likewise, some days the temperature is not that cold so you do not need to wear a snowboarding jacket. However, you should always keep your chest protected because it is where your body stores its heat. You can wear a long sleeved snowboarding shirt with a vest and you will be ready to hit the mountain.
Snowboarders are very fond of the Bonfire line of vests. These vests are reasonably priced. The average price is $50. Burton vests are another favorite. They have vests for every price range. Burton has a classic style of bold colored vests but they also carry some funky and stylish vests such as the kid's girls Burton Lasso Vest. Traditional men's vests include the Burton's Lowdown snowboard vest. These vests come in True Black, Roasted Brown, Glacier, La Gray, Menthol, Brimstone and Sahara. This vest is made of light fabric and filled with 550 goose down feathers. There are double stacked cargo pockets and asymmetrical chest pockets to carry and additional items with you. The best feature this vest has are the hand warmer pockets.
Make sure you have at least one vest to complete your snowboarding gear collection to keep you warm.
