BillyGoat Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 Lee, I got one of these last week you cant go to far wrong for £100 , http://www.ellis-brigham.com/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/312603||@cSnowsports%20Clothing%20-%20Men's@bBonfire|0|user|1,0,0,1|6| Its well made, great waterproof rating and comfy, the insulation is medium average, you will need several base layers and a fleece. Its not the warmest jacket out there but great value. Loads of pockets and very good fit has the snow skirt etc.. got a large in green "forest", if you are an average or slightly tall go large, if you are a big guy (>15st) go XL. luke jesss.... never knew i was such coat geek! :eek: Quote

BillyGoat Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 yo lee - go for a medium at your build, should have good space for movement. You will need a long sleeve base layer or two (thermal), should get one for around £15 (ish), and a micro fleece/body warmer (windproof). The coat alone is never enough! you must get several thermal base layers gloves - get proper snowboarding ones - £25 (ish) - dakine or burton. Quote
beardyjim Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Well I had my first go at hot waxing yesterday (a board not my legs ) I was dubious that I could make it work but it seems to have done a reasonable job. (I did it on the board I'm lending Hank though so if he claims that his board is too sticky and its effecting his jumps it'll clearly be my fault!) Wax went on fine and I have found that there really is an art in removing the excess wax. I'm glad I tried it but I need to practise some more before I even think about trying it on the Nobile! Quote
hank Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Well I had my first go at hot waxing yesterday (a board not my legs ) No cause thats a regular event Sounds good I have nearly realised that we are actully going in just over a month and I am slightley excited now. Quote

LincolnImp Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 does anyone know where to get the Swix ch7 wax? can't seem to find anywhere that sells it apart from skiracing.co.uk where you have to send a cheque off Quote
metal_snapper1599968645 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 It is hard to get hold of down here as well, I just use the Toko stuff as you can usally pick it up in TSA or Snow and Rock. Sonic is the man for the Swix stuff, I think he has shares in the company..lol:p does anyone know where to get the Swix ch7 wax? can't seem to find anywhere that sells it apart from skiracing.co.uk where you have to send a cheque off Quote
MrJoyce Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 Does anyone know if I get get away with JUST zardoz? If so, TP! I require a puck good sir! (never shall it be said that ultimatly I am a lazy man) Quote
metal_snapper1599968645 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 It would be much better with hot wax and Zardox. The hot wax will also help protect your base, use the Zardox as a the uber slippy top coat finish. Does anyone know if I get get away with JUST zardoz? If so, TP! I require a puck good sir!

metal_snapper1599968645 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Snow And Rock, Ellis Brigham, TK Max if you are lucky, Ebay is a good one to try and The Snowboard Assylum. If none of these are near you, use Google or somthing to find the nearest snow sport shop near you:D i need to get some snowboarding trousers where can i get some from??? Quote
