Where do you put your keys when you ride? - Page 3 - Snowboarding Forum

my front pocket has a clip for keys. For that matter so does my jacket but the I usually end up with them in my pants pocket.

There are worse things that can happen to your keys by choosing the wrong pocket: like say back in 2004 in Quebec, a friend and first-time snowboarder who happened to be the driver for said trip loses his keys. This happenned on NEW YEARS EVE!!! We were stuck at our hotel in a small town in the eastern townships of Quebec... and a $250 express-post from back home later, we were back on our way.

Tip: if riding with newbies who are the driver... MAKE SURE they keep their keys in a good spot, or better yet, keep them yourself!

my Mtn Hardware Shell has an inner pocket on the inside left chest with zipper. I put all of my stuff in there generally, keys, credit card and if im drinking my ID.

I generally bring my cell along with me as well...i put that in one of my regular coat pockets zipped up.

My new Analog pants have a lot of pockets though, so i started moving my keys and stuff to the lower pockets which are lower on the leg and would be hard to land on.

Either way though even if im not crashing i still pat myself down to make sure everythings there after each run lol...

I'm just going to swallow the car key and eat a ton of fiber. That way when it's time to go home, I'll just run to the toilet and crap my key out. No way they'll get in the way of park riding now! I wonder if stomach acid eats through plastic?

I already do that. My key has the keyfob integrated into the key...Sort of like the newer VW keys do. The key to my car is 2.5 inches long, 1.25 inches wide and 1/2 inch tall.

My snowboard pants have a pocket on the inside of the lower leg. Perfect place to put things.

Same here. Haven't hurt myself yet doing that.
