Getting ready for the slopes is about more than just choosing a board or skis. The right snowboard and ski essentials shape how you feel on the mountain, how long you can stay out, and how confident you are when conditions change. At Ocean Sports Boardriders Hove, we offer a wide selection of trusted brands and options to suit your personal style and performance needs. Our collection is designed for real winter use, chosen by people who understand what genuinely makes a difference during long, cold days outside.
Beanies
Headwear is just as important as your outer layers. Beanies from Carhartt, Roxy, Volcom, Dakine, Rip Curl, Arbor, and Patagonia provide dependable warmth on and off the mountain. They can be worn under a helmet, during travel to the lifts, or while winding down at the end of the day, delivering simple insulation and all‑day comfort throughout the winter season.
Gloves and Mitts
Keeping your hands warm is essential for comfort and control on snow. Protest, Dakine, and Quiksilver all offer gloves and mitts designed to withstand cold, wet conditions, while Volcom’s gloves and mitts provide reliable protection from wind and snow. These essentials help you stay comfortable during long runs, lift rides, and outdoor breaks without losing dexterity.
Sunglasses, Goggles and Helmets
Clear vision and protection are essential for confidence on snow. We stock Bliz and Oakley goggles, as well as Eye Level and Oakley sunglasses, helping you see clearly in changing light and bright conditions. Oakley helmets offer lightweight protection and a secure, comfortable fit, completing a setup that keeps you safe and focused on the mountain. Eye Level cases help keep goggles and sunglasses safe during transport and storage.
Snow/Ski Jackets
Outerwear remains the backbone of any snow setup. We stock snow jackets from Protest, Quiksilver, Rip Curl, Roxy, Volcom, Oakley, Patagonia, Westbeach, and O’Neill. These jackets provide insulation, wind protection, and water resistance, so you can focus on enjoying the slopes while expressing your personal style.
Hoodies
Layering is key for comfort and warmth, and hoodies are perfect for wearing under jackets on colder days. Volcom and Oakley hoodies are designed to fit comfortably under snow jackets, providing extra insulation while allowing freedom of movement. They’re ideal for layering on the mountain or wearing casually around the resort.
Backpacks and Snowboard Bags
Transporting your gear efficiently can make all the difference. Dakine backpacks, snowboard bags, and split rollers help keep your equipment organised and protected, whether you’re commuting to the lifts or travelling to a snow destination. Modular mats and other accessories also make packing and unpacking easier.
Snow Accessories
Keeping your equipment and gear in top condition is key for performance and fun on the slopes. Our Boardriders sledges, designed for both adults and children, come in two sizes and are perfect for fun off the lifts or for family outings in the snow. Alongside these, we offer Dakine snow wax, triangle scrapers, binding hardware, stomp pads, Dakine snowboard wrist guards, Arcade belts, and Sun Bum face stick and lip balm to help you optimise your gear, stay supported, and protect yourself on bright, high-altitude days.
Snow/Ski Pants
Snowboard and ski pants play a big role in how comfortable you feel throughout the day. We stock pants from brands like Rip Curl, O’Neill, Oakley, Protest, Quiksilver, Roxy, and Volcom, designed to keep you dry and warm while allowing natural movement, whether you’re riding hard or taking a slower pace. These pants provide reliable protection against snow and cold from first lift to last run.
Neck Warmers and Hoods
Cold air and wind can quickly drain your energy, which is why neck warmers and hoods are such an important part of any setup. Buff, Quiksilver, and Roxy neck warmers are designed to protect exposed skin and adapt easily as conditions change. They can be pulled up on cold chairlift rides or loosened when you’re working harder, offering warmth and comfort without bulk.
Snow Socks
Comfort inside your boots is easy to overlook, but it can define your entire day. Dakine, Stance, and Protest snowboard and ski socks are made specifically for time spent in boots, with targeted cushioning and warmth that help reduce pressure points and fatigue. Designed for cold conditions and extended wear, they keep feet comfortable all day.
Fleeces
Fleeces provide an extra layer of insulation for cold days, helping you stay warm both on and off the slopes. Lightweight yet effective, they’re perfect for layering under jackets or wearing casually around the resort when you’re off the lifts. Roxy and Protest fleeces combine warmth with freedom of movement, keeping you comfortable throughout the day.
Choosing the right snowboard and ski essentials means feeling prepared, warm, and confident every time you step onto the snow. At Ocean Sports Boardriders Hove, we offer an extensive selection of styles and designs of clothing and accessories that suit you, helping you build a setup that keeps you comfortable, supported, and stylish all season.
