Need Solution to my snow-covered butt! - Snowboarding Forum

Perpetual3am · 01-22-2009, 11:20 AM

I'm hoping someone else has had to deal with this. I own a pair of Burton Ronin pants and absolutely love them, they fit perfect, have all the necessary pockets and such. Plus I feel like a rock star/samurai in them. The problem is that they have this annoying tendency to build up snow on my ass when I sit down to put my bindings on. It's tough to get off as it eventually turns to ice, and then it melts when I take a break inside. Maybe it's the material of the funky design on the butt that allowing the snow to stick to, I'm just not sure.

Such is my love/hate relationship with my pants. Any suggestions to help fix this other than spraying teflon on my a$$?

you were close i would say get some waterproofing spray and soak that area real good.

The simplest solution could be to strap in while standing? Not sitting? Then you will feel even more like a rock star!

I strap in standing all the time. I think its just something that happens to pants no matter what brand.

spray it with a couple coats of proofing like they said above

If you have washed them they probably need re-treated. Just did my Ronin's with Repel. Seems to be working out nicely.

Cosign lol..

I go through the same thing but I usually just pat the snow off. It doesn't really take much effort, strap up, get up, then pat your ass a few times before going.

I have a problem more with the melted snow making my ass wet.. but i think thats because the pants are only rated 5k.. but alas this is my first year and i didn't know if I'd like this.

Getting better shit next year thats for sure.
