Where to buy protective gear? - Snowboarding Forum

sevenstarsfall · 01-21-2010, 01:56 PM

Looking to buy a helmet, wrist guards and some crash shorts but all the places I look seem to just carry RED or Pro-tec. From reading reviews on here it seems most people arent too satisfied with RED so I was planning to stay clear of them.

Ive heard good reviews about Smiths Variant helmet so ill be looking into trying that one on, so where does everyone buy there protective gear from and any other input about gear you may wanna add will be appreciated.

Thx

I really like my Skeletools impact shorts - look 'em up. Have a Giro Shiv audio helmet, which I love, too.

Thx for the reply and im still trying to research this topic and make my purchase so if anyone else has some input feel free.

I also found this site which has quite a selection of protective gear: Action Sports Protective Gear: order from the specialists at XSportsProtective

The following websites are my favorite online shopping store:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more
SourcingMap - Wholesale Products, Consumer Electronics from Factory Direct
You can search and check if they have the items you want.
