Burton (7)  

Market leaders but, because of this, a bit on the pricey side! You pay a bit of a premium for the Burton name! Of course, this does not apply if you buy your Burton Snowboard Gear at BargainBoards.co.uk because everything on our website is heavily discounted.

Waterproof Rating   

The higher the rating number, the more waterproof a fabric will be. Gore Tex do not use the same system as everyone else - they quote single, double (2L) and triple layers (3L) of waterproof membrane. To be waterproof, an item of clothing needs more than a waterproof fabric - you also need to consider the seams.

Not Quoted (5)   

We only quote the waterproof rating of a garment when it is backed up by information displayed on either a garment tag/label or the manufacturers website/brochure. We have not, therefore, quoted ratings for all our garments. This does not, however, mean they are not waterproof but it is a fairly reliable indicator that the waterproof rating is likely to be under 5,000.

Up to 5,000 (13)   

Perfectly adequate for most snow sport uses.

Up to 10,000 (24)   

A good level of waterproof rating, capable of withstanding long periods of heavy rain.

Up to 20,000 (8)   

Garments with a 20,000 rating offer a very high degree of waterproof protection for the serious outdoor sports enthusiast who demands the highest performing technical garment.

Gore Tex 2L (1)   

A double layer of waterproof Gore Tex membrane, making the garment doubly waterproof.

Seams   

Clothing seams are almost always sewn together. Sewing leaves holes, holes leak and you could get wet! To counter this manufacturers tape the seams to keep the water out.

Not Quoted (5)   

We quote a garment as having taped seams when this information is confirmed by information displayed on either a garment tag/label or the manufacturers website/brochure. In all other instances, we have chosen to list the product as 'not quoted'.

Critically Taped (36)   

A garment with critically taped seams does not have all of it's seams taped - only those identified by the manufacturer as being critically important to prevent water ingression. Garments with critically taped seams are perfectly adequate for most snow sports uses.

Fully Taped (10)   

Only a garment with fully taped seams can be considered to be waterproof. All seams are taped and glued to make them at least as waterproof as the fabric itself. We highly recommend garments with fully taped seems as being the best for snowboarding and skiing.

Insulation   

You do not necessarily need insulated garments for snowboarding or skiing. It depends on whether you tend to suffer from the cold more than others - this tends to be the case for children, women and smaller men. It also depends on how much energy you exert - the more active you are , the hotter you will become. Beginners tend to exert far more energy than do experts. The final factor is the weather - which in turn is dependent on the time of year and location of your resort. People ski in temperatures ranging from -35 to +10 degrees celsius - so choosing the correct degree of insulation is very important.

Shell (7)   

Exactly the same as 'Lined Shell' garments - only without any lining!
Some of the highest specification most technical and breathable snowboard and ski garments use an unlined shell construction.

Lined Shell (12)   

Lined Shell garments are the most versatile because they can be worn on their own with very little underneath on sunny afternoons, on mild spring days and in snow domes or on dry slopes. You can also use them on bitterly cold winter days by 'layering-up'. The lining gives a higher degree of comfort and 'cosiness' versus the most technical unlined shell garments.

Insulated (30)   

Insulated outer layers are a good idea if you are snowboarding or skiing in North America - where temperatures are significantly lower than in Europe - or if you suffer from the cold or if you just prefer being nice and warm and snug. We recommend insulated jackets for children and small adults who suffer from the cold. Please look at the product descriptions on our website because some garments are more insulated than others. We have included in the 'Insulated' category all garments which have zip out or removable linings.

Down (2)   

The ultimate in luxurious warmth. Ideal for riding in North America or on cold European days in January or February. Made from either goose or duck down, these garments are great for apres ski too - because trudging about town in the evening can be bitterly cold!
