Snow Protection

Snow protection is more than just gear — it’s about confidence, freedom, and peace of mind on the slopes. At Ocean Sports Board Riders in Hove, we provide equipment that keeps you safe, comfortable, and ready to enjoy every run. From helmets and impact shorts to wrist guards, gloves, goggles, and technical outerwear, our range is designed to support your performance while minimising risk.

Head protection is one of the most important parts of snow safety. Oakley helmets combine advanced impact protection with comfort and style, helping absorb shocks and reduce the risk of injury during falls or collisions. Whether you’re carving groomed runs, exploring off-piste, or learning new tricks in the park, wearing an Oakley helmet gives peace of mind so you can focus on your riding rather than worrying about safety.

Your lower body and core are often the first points of contact in a fall, which is why body protection is essential. The REKD Energy Impact Snow Shorts are designed for multi-sport use, making them ideal for snowboarding. Their low-profile design fits comfortably under snow pants, while the removable REKD Energy coccyx protector adds an extra layer of defence when you need it most. Engineered like a second skin, the shorts move with your body and stay in place, letting you focus entirely on your ride. Whether you’re hitting park jumps, carving groomers, or exploring powder off-piste, these shorts give you the confidence to push your limits safely.

Hands and wrists are particularly vulnerable on the snow, which is where Dakine Snowboard Wristguards come into play. With a low-profile design for use inside gloves, they feature a lightweight internal aluminium stay and a stretchy neoprene body, giving maximum comfort and protection around the wrist. They’re suitable for riders of any level who want to safeguard this vulnerable area while riding aggressively or learning new tricks. The wristguards provide peace of mind, so you can focus on technique and enjoyment without worrying about injury.

Cold and wet conditions can affect performance as much as safety, making clothing and accessories a key part of snow protection. Thermal layers, durable jackets, and snow pants help regulate body temperature while repelling snow and moisture, keeping you comfortable throughout the day. Accessories such as gloves and goggles also further enhance protection by keeping your hands agile and your vision clear, no matter the weather.

Snow protection isn’t just about safety — it’s about enjoying the ride with confidence. When your gear works with you, you can push yourself further, ride longer, and fully experience the mountain. At Ocean Sports Board Riders in Hove, we bring together Oakley helmets, REKD Energy Impact Shorts, and protective layers, along with Dakine wristguards, gloves, and goggles, to create a complete system that keeps you safe, comfortable, and ready for every adventure on the slopes.
