Padding for first time Skiing and Snowboarding?

Posted: November 4th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Mens Snowboarding Pants | 5 Comments »

Hi All,
Its my first time skiing and snowboarding.
I am going to camel back mountain in Poconos.

I have found a lot of helping information on yahoo answers about apparel in general, but I could not find information on padding…

Could you suggest [maybe provide links] on what kind of padding I can buy. I am mainly concerned about my lower back and want to guard it.

If you could suggest something I can readily find [beacuse I am at 5 PM EST] it would be great.

The only thing I have found is "Under Armour Agile Slider Short Mens" and "Champro Slotted Football Pants"

I am unable to find if either of these protect lower back.

Also do you think they would hinder my maneuverability.
Thanks for the answers. What I failed to mention is that, I have some undiagnosed back problems.

Have fallen on ice pretty much every winter for the past 5 years =/ Tough luck, I know.

Still no padding then?

You don’t need any more padding than normal. Just don’t try to take a double diamond hill on your first go. Take it slow and easy on the small stuff. Once you’re comfortable staying upright for the entire small hill like a little bunny run, then move up to the big stuff. Also, don’t try any jumps until you’re comfortable. You can break stuff doing jumps if you’re not ready yet.

    If your snowboarding. Knee pads, also (& this is unusual) some sort of butt pad (you could get your butt cheeks pulled apart if your going fast enough), and a helmet (if you catch the back edge of your board you could smack the back of your head real bad)
