Question

So what is a good place to find snowboarding gear that is okay with prices but the gear is still good..
Thanks.

Answer 1

WOAH WOAH WOAH!, You lived in the holy grail of snowboarding and you moved to go snowboard somewhere else!? OH NOES!, anyways I'd checkout these sites and these brands.





For good brands I'd look at.



GNU

libtech

Omatic

Stepchild

Capita

Neversummer

K2

Forum

Rome

Bataleon



Avoid pretty much all the brands sold at those big retail stores "D&icks,sports check,sports authority,big 5 ect ect". Pretty much all the brands sold there "5150,Lamar,LTD,Sims,morrow" are low end garbage decks that any boarder planning to go a lot shouldn't bother buying, They'll only end up holding you back.

Obviously the other choice is your local snowboarding shops :)

Answer 2

i would recommend the board, boots, and bindings at your local snow shop. Sales are typically held now through end of October. This is their busy season. I avoid websites for that kind of gear. Easier trying it on and sizing etc in person.



for the jacket, pants, gloves, etc..it is safe to go to sports authority or something similar. just go for more of a well-known brand. They are really good with prices compared to a snow shop. Also less money isnt necessarily better. You will need to spend a good amount on the jacket and pants.

Answer 3

i bought my snowboards and bindings at sport chalet because they have good sales making the snowboard a lot more affordable. (they freaking hike up the price)



i bought my boots at 1.zumiez 2. a board shop called boarders(which also have good deals, i bought DC boots for $80, it was originally $160)



i buy the jackets and pants at the local shops around the mountains when there are good deals, and sometimes sports chalet.



i bought my helmet at big 5. (protec)



gloves at sports chalet



googles at sports chalet (oakeley, not sure if i spelled it correctly)

Answer 4

Try, backcountry.com they also own dogfunk.com and backcountryoutlet.com I like their customer service... they answer the phone 24/7 and their return policy is hard to beat. The best prices are going to be on last years unsold gear.
