what colors you guys try to rock when boarding. i know this sorta gay but hell im bored. Everyone i know tries to get at least 2 main colors incorporated in their outfit.
Right now im riding bright blue pants and a greyish black jacket. But im looking at new pants and jacket to replace my crappy ones. So maybe grey blackish jacket and green pants.
I wear black pants and a dark brown jacket. Hubby is in black from head to toe, from his helmet down to his boots and board. He's colorblind, so he doesn't care. I broke it up a bit with white boots and pink/white helmet, but I prefer the darker colors...don't show dirts as much!
although I am new at this i have a black, red and white jacket and black pants..that pants have a little bit of blue in them that matches the board and my bindings are black white and red and kind of match my jacket and my boots are black and red...so a little all over..
Black hat, any bandana i can grab quick, plaid fur hood jacket, black or olive pants, black boots, white bindingings trying to find a nice pair of white mittens.
edit:
my gear minus pants wich are being washeed,
kinda excited to see how these water proof heeat trapping gloves work, theyre thin wich i like so i an feel the board, still want mittens
simple colors for me. I live in a not-so-cold area, so warmth isn't really a problem. If i'm gonna be rockin with my headphones, then i wear my black hoodie with this epic white cross thing on the front (not religious, just looks way cool)
if i'm wearin my hat that i have in my avatar, then it's a green long sleeved shirt, and green camo wraparound stretch bandana thing that i have. (also in avatar)
if it's particularly cold or windy though, i'll just grab my bengals jacket. not too bad unless they're LOSING CONSTANTLY. which they are.
yeah, black snowpants, boots, and bindings. i don't color match with my board though, too much effort.
i just wear my favorite colors... black as my base color with teal or and bright variant of blue. Then i mix it up with flashy gloves, dont really worry about matching to my board
But I've got a pair of blue pants that I throw into the mix sometimes. The green is my steez, though. Either my black Arc'Teryx or Black "denim" AK depending on how effing cold it is. Matches the Infinity quite well. The Pandora, not so much. And the Tiffany's blue Nike Zoom Force 1s don't help the color coordination at all.
i wear lots of color..but its not really unique to snowboarding..i wear lots of color in general. just my personality i guess, bright colors make me happy.
here's a pic from last weekend to give you an idea..the pants are borrowed from a buddy cause they matched my jacket perfectly haha. usually they are orange
My general rule is low key colours unless your good. I try to keep my colours cool but not too loud. If you look like a pro with all your swanky bright colours yet your a noob at snowboarding well you just look a prat...
One huge advantage of wearing colors (pro/advanced/intermediate/beginners) it makes you easy to spot. Finding people in your group, or them finding you,is a lot easier when you have colors in your outfit. TBH i think its a good idea for beginners to wear bright colors (kind of like reflectors), so you can spot them easily and avoid them.
BTW when you see a "noob" on the hill w/ that new expensive flashy jacket/pants/boot/board. remember that they might be working people and they deserve to buy what they please with their hard earned money. Maybe they like dressing up for snowboarding more than actually snowboarding :dunno:
Haters hate usually cause they don't have what they want.:cheeky4:
If you see them around just give them props on their gear or keep it to yourself...
Everyone was a "noob" at one point...
