Why do snowboarders wear baggy outfits? Wouldn't tight fitting clothes allow them to get more air?

Must be for style as I was noticing that each snowboarder's pants got lower the farther they were down the halfpipe.\n\nMaybe the baggy clothes act as a parachute slowing their descent allowing for more twists while in the air.

There appear to be several materials present in Arctic grade clothing.\n\nMy experience has been with outer garments made by Carhartts, and I can attest that they will keep you alive, although not particulatly comfortable at minus 50 degrees f.\n\nI have used their products over the past 15 years at Prudhoe Bay, on Alaskas "North Slope"\n\nThe particular parka I use features a layer of  "Gortex" next to the nylon outer layer. I've found this useful for staying dry, as moisture vapor can penetrate, but liquid water can't.\n\nCarharrts website is listed below.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nOuzinki

how are you supposed to swim on the moon? what about snowboard? i think it is pretty hard to do sports without much gravity.

snowboard, waterproof pants & jacket tresspass are good, snowboarding boots you can get them in major towns or off the internet, a hat & glasses thats about it.

When in water, I don't wear anything under because then it just gets soaked and really heavy..\n\nBut when hanging around, I wear boxers because if it rides down, I wouldn't want anyone to see anything they wouldn't like.

Snowboarders are so much hotter than swkate boarders! not only are they normally more toned but there's something about snowboarding - its risky and cool.\nSkateboarders jsut remind me of spotty teenagers cutting you up as you walk round town. Not cool.\nPLUS, you get the added bonus of snow with boarders!! always good.

For some reason it is my experience that cold weather makes me perform better. Maybe some under armor if you have that or any semi thin layered sweat shirt would do good.

this question is based on the wrong idea, comfort is not the deciding factor here.. its speed and muscle compression\n\nFast Skins are designed for less drag and increased muscle performance by compression\n\nSpeedos are just the old way of thinking that less material is faster\n\nand long trunks I'm assuming you mean board shorts, should not be used unless you're not worrying about speed\n\n\nso in pure comfort, boardshorts are less constrictive followed by speedos and then fast skins.. but opposite when looking for speed

I bought special socks for snowboarders. You can get them at any winter sports store or at the mountain lodge shop. They cost from $15 to $20 and keep me warm throughout the day.

I used to be a competitive swimmer, and during some training sessions we had to wear multiple layers. They essentially create "drag" which increases resistance. Weight is offset by buoyancy, so to increase the resistance in water, you add clothes. Sweatpants/shirts absorb a lot of water, thus add a fair amount of resistance to a work out. While I'll admit, I haven't seen the aquacise classes apply this technique, it does come from sound water based training principles.

Depends on the size of the boxers. Also, wearing tight pants is a no no.

this year some of the players have been wearing tights for support and to keep their muscles warm. i read that this is probably going to be banned by the commissioner. i get a kick out of the players that wear knee-high socks.

My first few rides (season) were great, but I fell alot. I never rode one of those bud boards. Snowboard bindings are important. The bindings should clamp your feet/boots onto the board, like pedals on a bike. There's always time to snowboard. Use your front foot to steer. Wear gloves and a helmet.

you need to look into what sportswear is made of. this is spec. designed to allow min sweating so its great stuff. gym wear and aerobics outfits.

Old style you wore garters that kept them up; now the shorts you keep your cup in have velcro flaps that attach to the top of your socks and keep them up under your hockey pants.\n\nI don't wear either.  I don't need a cup, and the garters make me laugh. I wear workout pants under my gear because it keeps me cooler and warmer, and keeps my gear from getting as stinky.\n\nSo I just pull my socks up over my shinguards and tape them once around the top so they don't slip back down again.  Sometimes I'll tape under my knee too, but really it's not a big deal.  My pads and my socks all seem to stay put just fine.\n\nI don't like bare legs against my shinguards.  Gross.  Ew.\n\nI'm not the only person who does it this way, but I think most people wear the shorts.  Even the girls on my girls' team do.

Sure... why not?\n\nI mean, yeah... wearing blue will make you a much better snowboarder than wearing red.

Why don't you just wear some more clothes or an overcoat !
