waist packs and goggles?
« on: November 29, 2006, 11:41:55 PM »
First off. I was just wondering if there were any waist packs you would recommend. a website or certain products maybe. im thinking about just bringing my north face one but its not waterproof..and the thing about waist packs is that since i fall on my behind a lot...yea..you know the problem. should i bring a pack at all?

and secondly i know that different color lenses give different effects. what would you recommend for all around snowboarding? any specific products or websites maybe?

thanks a lot for the help

Good questions.  Waist packs can be handy for if you have larger items to tote around, but IMO if you can avoid taking any pack at all then that's best.  Having a jacket that is waterproof/breathable and has lots of pockets is the most common way to go.  As for which pack I recommend, I honestly do not have a personal favorite, but I hear people are happy with dakine, mountain smith.

I think the coolest thing you can get is a CamelBak Lumbar Pack.  They get rave reviews from owners.  I may have to get one of these myself :)

As for the goggles, the best tint shade for everyday use is a light brown or rose.  These will ensure decent vision in low-light situations while ensuring protection from the elements.

Do you have any ideas for color lense and what brand are good for night snowboarding. Even with the lights my goggles are still hard to see out.

For night riding, use a clear lens.
