One weekend in February that changed everything Welcome to the new TSA Catalogue and its vast array of delightful snowboard goodies. If you’re new to snowboarding, its great see you… if you’re an old friend then welcome back.

In 30 years of involvement in this sport I never expected to be writing an intro like this. That one weekend at the Winter Olympics in February changed everything for British Snowboarding. The men’s slopestyle final on the Saturday was off the scale, with Jamie Nicholls just missing out on a medal. But that was just the warm-up act. Next day the nation witnessed possibly one of the most intense events in the history of sport as our as own Jenny Jones took the Bronze Medal in the women’s Slopestyle final. Ed Leigh, Tim Warwood and Aimee Fuller provided one of the greatest sports commentaries of all time and in one fell swoop British snowboarding hit the big time.

So if watching our Winter Olympians inspired you to take up snowboarding then our amazing Welcome to Snowboarding selections are just for you. If you’re a seasoned hand, you’ll love our new season’s equipment line-up, it’s the best we’ve ever put together.

14/15 looks set to be one of the best winters to be a British Snowboarder… and to top it off UK Sport just upped the funding for snowboarding to a touch under £5,000,000.

STEAMBOAT, COLORADO, U.S.A.

Seven thousand feet up in the Colorado Rockies, nestled quietly below one of the largest resort mountains in North America, sits a vibrant community that serves as a constant reminder that the Old West is alive and well.

Whether you’re stepping into a one of our 100 bars and restaurants, one of the charming boutiques, or stepping off the gondola, the reception is the same; genuine and warm. With 165 trails, 3,668 vertical feet, and nearly 3,000 acres of terrain, Steamboat’s six peaks are filled with groomed cruisers, bumps, steeps, legendary trees, five terrain parks and state-ofthe-art night skiing.

Our obsession with skiing is something we like to share. Known around the globe for the deep, untouched powder that collects between the tall aspen and evergreens; it’s so different that the phrase Champagne Powder® snow was coined right here to describe it. With nearly 10 metres of the deep stuff last year, Steamboat never has to worry about fresh powder.

After a day on the mountain, take a dip in the Hot Springs and you’ll think you’ve found the fountain of youth. Enjoy a stroll down Lincoln Avenue where you’ll feel the essence of Steamboat’s down-home western hospitality. Steamboat also boasts a variety of lodging options, as well as a variety of off-slope activities.

To get a face-full of Champagne Powder snow, a boatload of western hospitality and fantastic holiday packages, visit steamboat.com or call UK toll-free, 0808-101-3798. Better yet, pick up a Steamboat info pack at your nearest Ellis Brigham shop.

Ellis Brigham would like to thank our fantastic hosts for their funding and organisation of our catalogue photoshoot in Steamboat, Colorado, U.S.A. at the end of March 2014.

This was our thirteenth year in Steamboat and every time we return it’s just like going home. Snow conditions continue to be epic and the hospitality ever warmer... we can honestly say that there is no finer place to take a snowsports holiday.

Special thanks go out to Mike Lane, Jenny O’Farrell, Katie Brown & Rob Perlman who made the whole thing possible.

MEN’S BOARDS

WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING If you’re new to snowboarding and this is your first time reading the TSA catalogue, Welcome. You are at the start of a journey that will change your life forever, give you some of the best experiences you’ll ever have and will introduce you to lots of new friends.

Whether you found snowboarding through the success of Team GB at the Olympics or came to it another way it matters not, what matters is that you’re here and at the start of something amazing.

Like most new things in life, it can be pretty bewildering looking in from the outside, and snowboarding is no different, what with all the different riding styles, the vast array of equipment that sits on the shelf and that’s even before you’ve thought about going away, it wouldn’t be too difficult to walk away thinking that this is a bit too much.

So to help guide you through the first stages of snowboarding and to help you avoid some of the pitfalls when coming into the sport we’ve introduced our WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING programme. This has been put together to give you all the information you could ever need to make your first experiences simple and easy. The first thing we’ll give you is the WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING Handbook, you’ll either get this automatically when you book your first lesson with one of our partner slopes or alternatively by visiting a TSA store or via the WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING link on the TSA website. This runs through the A to Z of snowboarding, from how to get your first lessons all the way through to taking a holiday, getting on and off lifts, buying your first equipment, even how to get onto the Olympic team, all the information is there to answer any questions that you could ever have about the sport.

BOARD SELECTOR Over the years our acclaimed board selector has enabled tens of thousands of riders to select the perfect snowboard for themselves. For this season we took a fresh look at it to see what improvements we could add to make it work even better and you know what, we didn’t find anything to improve; so, we left it as it is. So, how does it work? By rating the four key design and riding characteristics (park, freestyle, carving and powder) from 1 to 10 you can look at each board and very easily work out which one matches your own personal riding style. Once you have done that, choose your performance level from 1 to 10 and you’ll have a board perfect for how you ride and your own ability level. If you’re looking for a specific kind of board, you can score high on the category that applies to what you want, but bear in mind that the board will be very specific in its use. Alternatively, if you’re looking for the board to do a bit of everything choose scores that are similar across all the riding styles.

Park Generally this means riding rails and boxes and just jibbing around the mountain. The characteristics you need for this style of riding are slightly softer flex to help the board lock onto the rails and give increased manoeuvrability at slower speeds. A twin tip shape with a centred stance and low nose and tail kicks to make the board feel well balanced so it spins with more control and feels the same riding in both directions. Of all the categories Park boards are the most specific in the way they ride, so if you’re looking for all terrain performance as well, don’t mark too high here.

Freestyle Freestyle is somewhat of a catch all category as it covers the way a lot of snowboarders ride. We class freestyle as playing around on the mountain, going into the terrain park and riding jumps and kickers. Freestyle boards share some of the characteristics of the jib board, namely you want it to be a little bit more balanced in the way it feels to get that extra control, but you also want a bit more response and power to give that extra bit of pop off jumps. That extra bit of power makes the freestyle board a bit more suited to general snowboarding than the out and out jib board.

Carve

This category indicates how the board rides on piste. To score high, the board needs to be stable at high speed, be solid and locked in when on the edge and really inspire confidence when pushing it hard. To deliver this kind of ride, boards tend to become more directional in shape with the flex progressively getting stiffer towards the tail. This extra stiffness in the tail allows the rider to push the board through a turn and power out when transitioning from edge to edge.

Powder This is the Mecca of snowboard performance, how it rides the pow. The main thing you need a board to do in powder is float. This is achieved by normally having a longer profile nose so it comes up easier and you won’t need to sit on the tail of the board. You generally achieve this by making the board directional in shape and setting the riding position back from the centre. Boards that score high in powder tend to have a lot of set back and have nose profiles that are designed specially to increase float.

Level This is an indication of the board’s performance level and is matched against your ability level. We have categorised these from 1 to 10 with 10 being the most aggressive. So if you’re new to snowboarding you want to be looking at performance scores around 3 to 5 (we don’t really go lower than 3). This will give you an easy going forgiving ride that is perfect for developing your riding skills. For more intermediate riders, a score between 5 and 7 will give you a level of performance that will satisfy most riders. Boards scoring in this range will be responsive and lively but won’t need to be ridden at 100% all of the time. Realistically scoring in this range will satisfy 90% of snowboarders, obviously pushing towards the 7 for more advanced riders. 7 to 9 steps up performance again, but bear in mind that these boards will lose a lot of their easier going nature and will take more effort to ride. 10, these boards are full on, they won’t compromise performance for something as simple as rider friendliness. Only score here if you are very good and want the ultimate.

In addition we have WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING branding on equipment that makes learning and progressing your riding simpler, this branding will be in store, online and in the catalogue and will help ensure that you choose the right equipment that will make you a better snowboarder.

We will also run a whole series of WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING events throughout the season. From taster lessons to riding with the stars and free coaching sessions to improve your riding skills. WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING will encompass everything and anything that newcomers to the sport could ever need and will ensure that your introduction to snowboarding turns you from a mere mortal into a fully fledged snowboarder.

SNOWBOARD CONSTRUCTION For this season we’ve made it easy to see what’s going on inside each and every snowboard we stock. By adding construction icons under the text you can quickly see details of its shape, profile, core, structural layers, base material etc. Here’s is a quick explanation as to their use.

SHAPE Twin: Rides identical forwards or backwards. More balanced ride for freestyle orientated riders.

Directional Twin: Twin tip shape but generally stiffened towards the tail and the inserts set back giveing more all terrain performance.

Directional: Generally the shape of choice for freeriders, piste riders and powder hounds.

PROFILE Camber: Gives a lively and poppy ride perfect for anyone looking for high performance.

Flat: Still has pop and power but a little smoother making it perfect for more freestyle-focussed all terrain boards.

Rocker: Full reverse camber for a playful ride thanks to the lifted contact points.

Camber Rocker: Camber under the feet with rocker from the inserts out. Gives a responsive feel under the feet with a looser and more playful ride thanks to the lifted contact points.

Hybrid: Combining different profiles throughout the length of the board. Allows designers to dial-in very specific performance criteria.

CORE Poplar: Most common wood used in snowboard cores. Has the perfect properties of mid density with relatively light weight and great strength.

Aspen: Almost identical performance to Poplar. Used in cores sourced from the US where Aspen are more common.

Composite: Man-made foam cores deliver increased shock resistance making this a great material to use in jib boards. Harder though to manage flex.

EXTRAS Adding additional woods adds more power and performance to the core and reduces weight.

Most commonly Birch, Beech, Bamboo, Paulownia plus other assorted hardwoods.

2 x Wood, 3 x Wood, 4 x Wood STRUCTURAL LAYERS TOP AND BOTTOM Bi-Ax Glass: Gives gives a soft torsional flex for more forgiving boards or for boards that require a softer flex.

Tri-Ax Glass: Torsionally stiff glass increasing response and power. Generally laid 45° for all terrain boards and 33° for freestyle boards.

Quad-Ax Glass: The most powerful of all the glass types. Only used on higher end boards.

Carbon: Lightening fast response/rebound properties. Only used on high-end boards.

Special: The + logo represents structural layers that don’t fit into the normal categories.

Carbon Cross Bracing: Adds torsional rigidity, stiffening the centre or extremities of the board.

Carbon Stringers: Run the length of the board to add more pop and more power to the edges.

Carbon V: Gives a direct power transfer from the inserts to the tip and tail of the board.

Kevlar: Used to dampen vibrations that have a negative effect on board performance.

Basalt: Delivers similar properties to carbon without such an environmental impact.

Modified Edges: Give extra bite points or dissipate pressure more efficiently along the edge to improve edge grip.

BASE MATERIAL Extruded: Great performing low maintenance base material on lower priced boards.

Sintered: Harder material with faster glide and better wax retention.

High Grade Sintered: Super hard and super fast base material used on high end boards.

Jones Mountain Twin £395.00

Jones Mountain Twin Ltd £435.00

The Mountain Twin is the perfect choice for intermediate all the way through to pro level riders who are looking for a high performance board that rides absolutely everything. Built around a complex twinish directional shape with the unique Blunt Nose profile, Jones has delivered a balanced all terrain snowboard that combines class leading versatility with stunning freeride performance. To give the Mountain Twin its poppy and responsive ride it utilises the CamRock profile with mellow Magne Traction. This places a traditional camber under the feet with mellow rocker running from just outside the inserts to the contact points and added bumps along the edge to enhance carving performance and response. Internally the Mountain Twin utilises a duel density Poplar Core and structural layers formed from torsionally responsive Tri-Ax glass to give the perfect balance of durability and a lively and dynamic ride. Finally the 7700 sintered base gives a super fast glide in all snow conditions.

The Mountain Twin ltd is all new for this season and is available in very limited numbers. Sharing the same shape and profile as the standard Mountain Twin it’s what’s going on inside that makes the Ltd so special giving it a level of performance that will blow the mind of even the most seasoned rider. The first and most significant change is replacing the standard boards Mountain core with the advanced Master Core from the Flagship. This triple density wood core is then wrapped with the same Tri-Ax glass structural layers but with the addition of carbon stringers. These increase the torsional flex giving the board a more powerful overall ride. To dampen things out a little and give a smoother feel without compromising performance, the Ltd uses a wooden top sheet similar to that of the Flagship. Finally the 7200 sintered base gives great performance and increased durability.

Sizes: 154 = 50-80kg, 157 = 60-90kg, 160 = 70-100kg, 158w = 65-95kg, 161w = 70-100kg, 164w = 70-100+kg Code 820406

Jones Aviator £435.00

Jones Ultra Aviator £615.00

Although the Aviator was only launched last season Jones have given it a makeover for 14/15 and have created one of the most exciting boards of the year. Aimed squarely at good intermediate to expert riders it’s the most freestyle focused model in the range. Designed to take that powerful and responsive ride that Jones is synonymous with and recreate it in something that can really put it down in the backcountry but which also has the performance to destroy even the biggest park booter. Built around a fully directional shape it utilises the advanced 3D Power Camber profile with mellow Magne Traction. This combines traditional camber with 3D bevels on the base at the contact points with additional edge bumps along the edges giving a more playful feel without compromising pop, response or edge hold. Internally the all new construction has created one of the lightest boards available. This is thanks to the new Tri-Ax Carbon structural layers that combine 45° carbon stringers throughout the whole length and the super light Power Core. Add to this the featherweight film top sheet and super fast 9900 base and you have one of the lightest and best performing boards on the market.

The new Ultra Aviator is a real game changer in snowboard design and construction. Sharing the same directional shape, traditional camber, mellow Magne Traction and advanced 3D base profile as the standard Aviator you know that this board’s performance is going to be exemplary. But it’s when you start to look at the construction that the Ultra Aviator really begins to look very special indeed. The lightweight Ultra Core formed from super light wood sandwiched between layers of carbon fibre enables the designers to reduce weight to almost zero without compromising strength, power and pop. This is then matched with the all new Air Lightness nose which removes the wood from the tips and replaces it with featherweight carbon composites reducing swing weight whilst keeping the tips rigid for maximum performance. To keep weight to the absolute minimum Jones fit a super lightweight film top sheet that is a lot lighter than traditional ABS material used on most boards and helps to really keep the weight down.

Sizes: 156 = 50-80kg, 160 = 60-90kg, 162 = 65-100+kg, 164 = 65-100+kg, 158w = 55-85kg, 160w = 60-90+kg Code 822403 (std), 820416 (wide)

MEN’S BOARDS

Jones Carbon Flagship £695.00

Jones Flagship £455.00

The Carbon Flagship is a serious snowboard for serious snowboarders.

If you aren’t riding day in and day out at 10/10ths then this isn’t the board for you. Aimed squarely at very advanced riders this is the ultimate freeride board for anyone who is unwilling to compromise on even the smallest amount of performance. Sharing the shape, Directional Rocker profile and Mellow Magne Traction as the standard Flagship, Jones has stepped up the construction to take the ride to a whole new dimension. Out goes the Master core and in comes the super stiff Hard Core. Next up are the structural layers and this is where things really heat up. The lower band uses the same Quad-Ax glass as the standard flagship but it’s the upper layer that really makes the difference. These are formed from two full layers of Bi-Ax weave carbon fibre overlaying carbon stringers running from tip to tail either side of the inset pack. By combining the super stiff core with the mega powerful carbon structural layers Jones have created an absolute power house of a board that remains rock solid stable at even the highest speeds. Finally add the 9900 sintered base for the ultimate in glide and durability.

The Flagship is the board that put Jones on the map and probably started the whole freeride revolution. Aimed at advanced to expert riders this big mountain powerhouse delivers a truly mind blowing ride in even the most extreme terrain. Built around a fully directional shape with directional rocker, blunt profile tip and Mellow Magne Traction sidecut, the Flagship gives unrivalled levels of float with class leading performance both on piste and in the pow. Internally, the high end Master Core combined with structural layers created from Quad-Ax glass with 9 carbon stringers either side of the inserts delivers game changing levels of performance that will satisfy even the most demanding freerider. This level of construction though has the potential to be too aggressive so to dampen things out Jones fit a wooden top sheet. This means that you can really take advantage of all that power and response without feeling like you’ve taken a proper beating. Finally the Flagship uses a 9900 stone ground sintered base for the optimum high speed glide in all snow conditions.

Sizes: 158 = 50-80kg, 161 = 60-90kg, 164 = 65-100+kg, 162w = 60-90+kg, 168w = 65-100+kg Code 820400

Jones Hovercraft £375.00

Jones Powder Surfer £300.00

The Hovercraft is aimed at riders who are looking for a powder focussed board that will deliver truly mind blowing performance in the deep stuff. Its directional shape and massively setback stance means you can pretty much say goodbye to rear leg burn forever and concentrate on experiencing some of the best riding you’ll ever have. Now that alone would justify investing in a Hovercraft but it has one more trick up its sleeve which takes it from being great to truly amazing. And that is how it works on piste. Taking the sidecut and flex pattern from an alpine board and integrating them into the Hovercraft, Jones have created a board that carves like nothing else you’ve ever ridden. It’s fully directional powder focussed shape and mellow Magne Traction sidecut combine perfectly with the Hovercrafts simple Classic wood core, Bi-Ax glass with carbon stringers construction to deliver a really playful and fun riding board that will totally redefine your snowboarding. Finally the sintered 7100 base gives a super fast glide in all conditions.

Why wait for that once in a lifetime storm to get the ultimate powder riding sensation. With the Powder Surfer each and every snow storm delivers the potential to be a very special day indeed. But, what’s even better is that those special days don’t need to be restricted to a mountain, take this to your local park/golf course when it snows and you’re guaranteed an epic powder day. The Powder Surfer takes inspiration from the No Board phenomenon of riding without bindings which gives that ultimate feeling of freedom.

But this is not your average No Board, as Jones fit their unique Binding Hooks.

TSA HARDWARE It has been 11 years since Bataleon started the shape revolution. A revolution that continues to this day! In the old days and there was only one shape for snowboard construction-traditional camber, but now there are hundreds. Developing the 100th shape took no courage, developing the second sure as hell did!

Everyone thought Bataleon were crazy and that 3D base shapes would never work. They were the first brand to stand up and say snowboards could and should be built better and 11 years down the road they are are still shouting the same message. As the only brand out there with more than a decade of experience in building boards with 3D bases, their patented triple base technology (TBT) makes turn initiation smoother, with fewer edge catches, more stability at high speed, floats better in powder and allows the board a more playful and forgiving during landings. TBT combines the best features of traditional and reverse camber boards without the disadvantages if either. To put it simply it makes snowboarding even more fun!

Bataleon Goliath + £399.00

Bataleon Whatever £350.00

For this season Bataleon have totally redesigned the Goliath transforming it into a truly stunning snowboard that redefines performance in this category. If you’re a strong intermediate rider all the way through to pro level and you’re looking for an all terrain board to handle everything on the mountain then this really needs to be sitting at the top of your shopping list. Carrying over the same directional volume twin shape as last year it delivers that perfect balance of freestyle feel with freeride versatility. But it’s the changes you can’t see that have brought this board alive. The new camber profile ups the response by increasing pop and driving more energy out to the contact points making the Freestyle TBT shape work even better. Next up is the addition of carbon stringers to the Tri-Ax glass structural layers. These increase pop through the length delivering as much performance as you could ever need. Match this with the lively and poppy Core core and high end sintered base and you have a board that has taken the fight to the most expensive boards on the market and leaves them looking a little shame faced.

The Whatever shares the same directional volume twin shape and TBT design as the Goliath + but Bataleon have toned down its performance a little making this board the perfect choice for any rider who wants an easier going versatile board for riding the whole mountain. As with the Goliath + the Whatever utilises a combination of traditional camber and Bataleon’s unique Triple Base profile to deliver a board that has class leading levels of performance whilst still retaining a more playful and freestyle focussed ride. Internally it shares the same high quality full wood Core core of the Goliath, but to give a more forgiving and friendly ride the structural layers are formed from torsionally softer Bi-Ax glass.

However just because it’s softer don’t be fooled into thinking that this is a super soft beginners board, it still has tons of performance. Finally the Whatever uses an easy repair extruded base to give great performance with minimal maintenance.

MEN’S BOARDS

board tech Bataleon Triple Base Technology TBT helps your riding progress quickly and builds your confidence.

Catch Less Edge When straight-lining TBT means the only edge section in contact with the snow is where you want it - between your feet. This assures a much smoother ride because the edges at the widest points are out of the snow so don’t hook or catch.

Crazy Carves Tilting the board to only 3 degrees gives full edge contact again. Under pressure in a turn, a traditional camber board will always want to snap back to its original shape. This can make slower turn twitchy and fast turns hard to control. Because TBT boards have lifted edges outside the bindings area, edge pressure is less agressive, reducing vibrations and maximising edge contact for a more precise and smoother ride.

Bataleon Jam £420.00

Bataleon Fun Kink £330.00

If you’re looking for a high performance all terrain board to charge the whole mountain, then the Jam is the board for you.

Sharing the same shape and profile as the Goliath, Bataleon have tweaked back the performance to create a board that takes little to no effort to ride but which also ups the fun factor to ten. Again it uses the unique Freestyle Triple Base to deliver a really responsive ride without sacrificing any of its playful and freestyle focussed nature. Internally the Fun Kink is built around the full wood Pop core with Bi-Ax glass structural layers; this delivers the perfect balance of easy going flex with strength and durability.

Bataleon Evil Twin Asym £370.00

Bataleon The Boss £400.00

MEN’S BOARDS

YES The Greats £455.00

YES GHOST £425.00

For this season Yes have bought back their bestselling Greats series and in doing so have created a more playful and freestyle focused board that delivers truly mesmerising performance. This makes it perfect for good intermediate all the way through to seasoned pros who are looking for a performance board to rip the whole mountain on but which will can still play around in the park or jib around on the piste.

Built around an advanced Asymmetric shape it features a deeper heelside sidecut which gives class leading levels of response and edge hold, match this with the versatile CamRock profile and you have a board that performs across a wide variety of terrain and conditions.

Internally the new Greats utilises the advanced 2X Poplar with impact blocks core, this state of the art wood core combines two different densities of poplar to create a super light but responsive core, now add the structural layers formed from a combination of Tri-Ax glass above and Bi-Ax below and you have the perfect balance of freestyle flex with all mountain response. Finally high grade sintered base gives a super fast glide and increased durability.

Take 5 minutes to watch Tadashi in action and it becomes pretty clear that his smooth as silk riding in the most mind blowing terrain mark him out as something a little bit special. So it’s no surprise then that Tadashi’s new board the Ghost is a pretty special snowboard. Aimed at experienced riders this ride anything all terrain board can handle everything that the mountain can throw at it. Using the same advanced directional volume twin shape as the new Standard the Ghost combines all the balanced and predictable feel of a true twin with the float of a directional board. However what marks the Ghost out is the traditional camber profile. This gives a poppy and locked on solid ride perfect for anyone who wants a more responsive and dynamic feel. Internally the two X poplar wood core formed from a combination of different types of poplar to give a lively and responsive ride whilst the added impact blocks under the bindings add strength and reduce potential damage from core compression. The structural layers are formed from a combination of Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax glass to give the perfect balance of all terrain performance with a more freestyle friendly flex. Finally as you would expect from a performance board the Ghost utilises a high end sintered base for a faster glide and increased durability.

YES The Standard £485.00

YES 420 £385.00

Aimed at advanced riders the Standard blends the riding characteristics of the very best freestyle boards with the go anywhere versatility of a big mountain charger. Using a combination of groundbreaking profiles and state of the art construction it delivers a level of performance that will blow the mind of even the most seasoned rider. Built around an advanced directional volume twin shape with the versatile cam rock profile it has all the benefits of a true twin but thanks to the increase in volume in the nose it floats like a directional board in the pow. Now it’s when you talk about construction that the Standard plays its trump card. The new Power Drive core utilises Pre bent parabolic birch rails along the edges to give unprecedented levels of pop and power. These pre tensioned rails deliver a truly powerful flex that boards which use carbon fibre couldn’t even dream to match. Now add Tri-Ax glass structural layers on both the upper and lower bands and you have a board that gives truly stunning levels of performance across the whole mountain. Finally the super fast sintered base gives a really fast glide across a whole range of snow conditions.

The 420 is the board of choice for the majority of the Yes guys which pretty much sums up how utterly mind blowing this powder focused board is. Borrowing much of its inspiration from shorter fish shaped surfboards this truly stunning snowboard will totally redefine your powder riding. Its unique shape prioritises surface area over length creating a super wide board with a wide profile powder nose to give a level of float that you just won’t believe. Being so wide you’d think that the 420 would react like an oil tanker, however, thanks to a stroke of genius Yes have fitted a super tight six metres sidecut which gives a level of manoeuvrability that you just wouldn’t expect.

Internally the 420’s core uses a combination of poplar and super light paulownia to create a strong yet lightweight board. To give the perfect flex the structural layers are formed from a combination of Tri-Ax glass on the top band and Bi-Ax on the lower band. Finally the sintered base gives a fast glide and increased durability.

Slash Happy Place £350.00

Slash Brainstorm £380.00

If you’re after a performance freestyle focused board that has the ability to handle the whole mountain but which won’t break the bank then the Happy Place pretty much needs to be sitting on top of your shopping list. Gigi has moved the goalpost as to what you should expect at this price level and in doing so has created a truly stunning board that will handle anything and everything that the mountain can throw at it. Built around a twin shape it features an all new cam rock profile. This places camber between the feet for increased agility and response with flat spots just outside the feet and rocker at the tip and tail to deliver a catch free ride with increased float and a poppy and responsive feel. Next up is the Ultimate Traction edge profile; this places an extra bump in the sidecut between the feet to give additional edge hold and stability. Internally the Happy Place uses the full wood Snap Crackle Pop core. This combines alternating poplar and beech stringers with spruce blocks in the nose and tail to give a truly poppy ride. Now add the Tri-Ax glass structural layers and carbon reinforcing at the tip and tail and you have a board that truly does punch above its weight. Finally the super fast 6000 grade sintered base finishes off this truly stunning snowboard.

The Brainstorm is new for this season and is the board of choice for backcountry freestyle ripper Manuel Diaz. Designed to suit his unique riding style it blurs the lines between freeride and freestyle making it the perfect choice for strong intermediates all the way through to advanced riders who are looking for a versatile all mountain board. Built around a new twin shape with a directional flex and slight setback in the stance, it works perfectly with the Backseat CamRock profile. This features a touch more rocker in the nose with a slight setback in the camber delivering the perfect performance for charging around the whole mountain. To improve carving performance it utilises the Ultimate Traction edges, this places a bump in the centre of the sidecut creating additional bite points reducing the effort needed to keep the board in the carve.

Internally the Snap Crackle Pop core combines poplar and beech stringers with spruce inserts in the nose and tail to give a lively and dynamic flex. Add torsionally responsive Tri-Ax glass reinforced with Sweet Spot carbon cross bracing and you have a board with unlimited pop and power.

Slash Paxson £380.00

Slash Straight £410.00

The Paxson is designed to appeal to experienced park riders who are looking for the ultimate in control and response. By utilising the most up to date construction Slash have delivered a board that can dominate in the park and urban terrain but which will give a level of performance that will blow the mind of even the most accomplished all terrain rider. Built around a balanced twin shape with zero camber it delivers a looser overall feel without compromising pop and response. Internally, the Snap Crackle Pop wood core with Sweet Spot X carbon cross bracing delivers a lively and poppy flex with increased levels of strength and durability. Now it’s the Reactive Flex structural layers that really make the Paxson stand out. This complex glass fibre when placed under load pulls itself into a concave shape across the width and forces the edges down into the snow. Then, when flexing the opposite way (e.g. doing a board slide), the glass reacts by forming a convex shape. This lifts the edges giving the board the perfect feel for riding rails. Last but not least the high grade sintered delivers a super fast glide.

Don’t confuse the Straight with the new breed of short playful powder boards; this is a proper snowboard for experienced riders who want something that they can push to the absolute limits. Let’s not forget that this is the board that Gigi rode to victory in the Red Bull Ultranatural. Built around a powder focused directional shape with directional CamRock, Slash have pushed the stiffest part of the flex towards the tail so you can really drive this board into the turn and land those big powder jumps. As with the rest of the line it utilises the Ultimate Traction edges. These give additional bite points meaning that the board is more reassuring and carves with a lot less effort. Internally the lightweight Forever wood core is created from paulownia, spruce, beech and poplar and works in harmony with the super tech Reactive Flex structural layers (which flex the base across its width) to deliver the perfect riding characteristics. Now add the Carbon/Kevlar Landing Strips which run from the tip and tail to the inserts and it’s pretty obvious that the Straight is a pretty special responsive and powerful board that will dominate any terrain.

TSA HARDWARE Dinosaurs will Die have come a long way in the past few seasons. Starting off as an excuse to not have a board sponsor Sean Genovese and Jeff Keenan’s underground snowboard company has developed into one of the most respected freestyle brands on the market. Thanks in no small part to their involvement in their side project Think-Thank movies, DWD has firmly established itself as one of the pioneers of the new generation of creative snowboarding.

DWD Maet £320.00

DWD RAT £330.00

DWD Wizard Stick £330.00

The Maet is the perfect choice for any rider from beginner through to expert looking for a freestyle board that is equally at home riding the park as it is charging the whole mountain. Completely redesigned for this season DWD have stepped up both the performance and versatility. The first thing you’ll notice is the new balanced twin shape.

This features a slightly wider waist width giving a more stable ride and a little more float in the deep stuff. Additionally, the all new profile still retains the traditional camber of the previous Maet but this has been tweaked back a little for a more playful and predictable feel without compromising the way the board rides. Internally DWD have reverted back to a traditional wood core for a more dynamic flex and stepping up the performance a level giving a more solid and responsive ride. With Bi-Ax structural layers and an easy repair extruded base the Maet is both easy to ride and easy to live with.

If you’re looking for a jib board but you want something that can hold its own outside of the park then the Rat should definitely be sitting towards the top of your shopping list. This awesome board excels in the park but thanks to its top quality construction and innovative design it has more substance than the usual super soft jib boards meaning that it’s equally at home riding the rest of the mountain. Built around a blunt profile twin shape it gives optimum control and feel allowing you to really nail the most technical of tricks. For this season DWD have modified the reverse camber profile giving the board an increased level of stability and upping its performance without compromising its playful nature and skate orientated ride. Internally it uses a full poplar wood core with structural layers created from forgiving Bi-Ax weave Glass creating a smooth and forgiving flex that helps inspiring confidence to try new stuff knowing that it’s not going to bite you in the ass.

When you first set eyes on the Wizard Stick you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s just another throw back 1980’s tribute powder board, but look a little closer and it becomes quite clear that things aren’t quite what they seem; for hidden beneath this fraudulent exterior beats the heart of a state of the art twin tip freestyle board. Starting life as a true twin the guys at DWD modify the nose and tail shape to give it its unique disguise, this delivers all the playfulness and feel of a traditional park focused board but with outward appearance of riding something completely unsuited to the modern park rider. With an all new hybrid camber profile which mixes camber under the feet with rocker at the tip and tail combined with a poplar wood core and Bi-Ax glass structural layers, DWD have created a board that has the power and pop through the turn with a more playful ride for putting down those technical park runs. With an easy repair low maintenance base the Wizard Stick gives great performance in all snow conditions and is without doubt the coolest board of the year.

Sean Genovese’s unique and innovative riding style blends groundbreaking creative urban riding with backcountry powder lines meaning that he needs a board that can put it down across every riding style and every type of terrain. To create such a versatile board DWD start with a blunt twin shape with flat kicks, this gives a fully balanced feel for optimum freestyle control whilst still giving a floaty all terrain ride.

The Kwon started life as DWD founder Jeff Keenan’s board, but over the years it has evolved and eventually became a stand-alone model. Its ability to handle big mountain freeride lines whilst remaining playful and freestyle focused make this the most versatile boards in the DWD range and the perfect choice for more experienced riders who are looking for a quiver killer of a board. For this season DWD have totally redesigned the Kwon. Keeping the same high end construction as last year its performance is beyond doubt, but thanks to the new Hybrid Camber profile, DWD have taken its all terrain versatility to a new level. This double camber profile harnesses the power under the feet to give a dynamic and responsive ride whilst the rocker at the tip and tail gives a more playful feel for those days when the park calls and increased float in the POW for when you want to get all freeridey. Internally it shares the same quality construction as the Genovese so you can be confident that it will perform at the highest level. The high quality sintered base gives great performance across a wide array of snow conditions.

MEN’S BOARDS For the last 25 years, Nitro has been innovating and pushing the snowboard industry standards to new Heights. As one of the world’s biggest snowboard brands Nitro has constantly pushed the limits both technically and graphically. Still owned and run by snowboarders we are stoked to welcome back Nitro into our range for this coming season.

Nitro Cinema II £299.00

Nitro Addict £299.00

It’s pretty hard to shoehorn the cinema into a specific category, is it a park board? Well, yes. Is it an all terrain board? Then yes again. In fact what this is is a park slaying all terrain quiver killer of a board. So if you’re a jibber that wants to get out of the park then this is the board for you. What makes the Cinema so versatile is its twin shape fused with the Gullwing profile. This places separate cambers under each foot connected by a central rocker profile, giving the response of a camber board, but with the playfulness and float of a rocker. Internally the PowerCore II wood core formed from durable poplar with beech stringers running through the length gives a poppy but playful flex perfect for the go anywhere nature of this board. To give the Cinema its playful freestyle feel the structural layers are formed from a forgiving Bi-Ax weave glass, this allows the board to flex more naturally giving the rider more control and helping to cement the Cinemas freestyle credentials. To give a fast glide in all conditions Nitro fit the Cinema with a low maintenance extruded base.

The Addict is aimed at riders who are looking for a playful board that has the ability to turn any terrain into a fun park. With a soft and predictable flex it’s the perfect choice for jibbers that are looking to break out of the park through to all terrain riders looking for a more forgiving ride.

Nitro Blacklight Camber £469.00

Nitro Team Sullen X £389.00

Aimed at advanced to expert riders who are looking for a real high performance freeride board the Blacklight combines some of the most advanced construction to deliver a truly stunning ride that lets you destroy even the most extreme terrain. Built around a fully directional shape it is optimised for maximum response on piste and in the pow.

Utilising a traditional camber profile with the Power Pod edge extensions, it gives a rock solid and powerful ride meaning you can lock this thing on the edge and no matter how fast you push it you just know it won’t let go. Internally the lightweight Powerlite core utilises high density poplar to deliver the perfect balance of performance and stability. Match this with the responsive Diamond laminates formed from glass fibre with integral layers of carbon and you have a stiff and powerful board that delivers mind blowing performance. Finally the Blacklight uses the advanced Speed Formula II base, this high grade sintered material features Nano Tech wax formula infused into the base material to give a lightning fast ride.

The Team has established itself as one of THE snowboards for strong intermediate to expert riders who are looking for a high performance all terrain snowboard. Built around a directional twin chassis, it delivers a truly versatile ride, balanced in the park, poppy and responsive when you want to charge and floaty on those days when you want to hit the deep stuff. The secret to the Team’s versatility is its Gullwing rocker, this advanced profile places camber sections under each foot mated to rocker in the centre. This gives the board a poppy ride when you need edge hold and control but also gives a more playful feel in the park and additional float in the pow. Internally the Powerlite poplar core features the Reflex core profiling. This places a thinner profile between your feet which lets the board flex easier through the centre allowing you to steer through the turn with ease. To further enhance this, Nitro then add their exclusive Bi-Lite fibreglass structural layers. These give the board the perfect balance between performance and user friendly versatility.

Finally the advanced sintered HD base increases durability over standard sintered base as well as improving wax hold.

TSA HARDWARE "The advantages of the splitboard are numerous when it comes to touring out into the backcountry. Not carrying your board on your pack when hiking and no need for snowshoes on your back when riding are the most obvious but also the ability to slide your feet rather than lift and step when breaking trail through deep untracked snow make the distances you can cover for less effort a major advantage. The new technology splitboard is rapidly becoming the backcountry enthusiast’s most essential weapon." Neil McNab, backcountry guru & Jones splitboard ambassador.

Jones Solution £695.00

Jones Solution Carbon £975.00

Jones Explorer £555.00

There is a good reason why more splitboarders worldwide choose to ride the Solution than any other splitboard.

Its true backcountry shape and performance deliver a ride that is equal to a solid free ride board and inspires confidence to hike and ride some of the world’s most extreme terrain. Built around the same innovative freeride design as the class leading Flagship it features the powder friendly Blunt Nose shape and Directional Rocker profile.

This gives truly stunning performance in the deep stuff whilst the mellow Magne Traction gives extra edge bite for more secure turns and added stability when hiking. For this season Jones have stepped up the boards performance another notch by adding the new lightweight Ultra Core. This triple density wood core with complex hardwood stringer positioning steps up the response another notch and works in perfect harmony with the Quad-Ax Carbon structural layers and Carbon Split Stringers to give class leading performance both when riding or hiking.

The Carbon Solution is built for powerful riders who rip technical backcountry lines and demand a splitboard that offers the same ultra responsive performance as a top level solid freeride deck. Sharing the same shape and design as the class leading Flagship, the Carbon Solution’s big mountain credentials are beyond doubt. Internally it is built around the advanced lightweight triple density Ultracore with hardwood stringers and a full carbon top sheet with 9 carbon bands running tip to tail. This delivers astonishing performance for a splitboard inspiring confidence to handle even the most extreme descents.

The Explorer is all new for 2015 and is aimed at Splitboarders who are looking for a performance board that won’t break the bank. Sharing much with the best selling Solution this superb board has everything that you could ever need for those back country expeditions. Its directional shape with Blunt Nose and Directional Rocker profile gives truly stunning performance in the pow, add the mellow Magne Traction sidecut and you also get stunning performance on the piste. Construction wise it utilises the Classic Core as used in the Mountain Twin, this is then wrapped with Bi-Ax glass to give the board a more forgiving and easier going flex making it almost effortless to ride. With Bamboo sidewalls for added pop and a high grade sintered base the Explorer is the perfect board for riders who really want to get out and explore the mountain.

Jones Ultracraft £975.00

Jones Wmn’s Solution £695.00

Spark Afterburner Tesla £350.00

Not only is the Ultracraft one of the lightest split boards on the market it’s also one of the lightest snowboards full stop. Sharing the same shape and design as the revolutionary Hovercraft it is built using the carbon top sheet, carbon core inserts and Jones top secret ultra construction. Ultra construction trims away weight by eliminating excess materials and reduces the overall weight of the board by 25% compared to the standard Hovercraft split. Less weight on your feet means more energy for riding.

Unlike traditional splitboards that are designed around a solid board platform then sliced down the middle, the Ultracraft is one of the first split boards to be produced as two individual skis that are later transformed into a solid board. This lets the designers create a better performing board that retains more torsional control so not only does it save weight it also rides better.

The Solution is the premier women’s splitboard and is aimed at riders who want the freedom that splitboarding brings but who aren’t willing to compromise on performance. It’s fully directional shape with Blunt Nose and Directional Rocker profile delivers the perfect freeride performance whilst the mellow Magne Traction on both inner and outer edges delivers confidence when the conditions get firm. Just like the men’s Solution, the women’s Solution is built around the new lightweight Ultra Core, this advanced triple density core features hardwood reinforcing to increase pop and response whilst the Quad-Ax Carbon structural layers with Carbon Split Stringers stiffen up the torsional flex creating probably the best performing splitboard on the market. Finally the 9900 base gives a super fast glide in all conditions.

The AfterBurner is a stiff and powerful binding aimed at big mountain chargers. Its solid baseplate gives a swift and direct transfer of power whilst the responsive highback is super stiff both torsionally and fore-aft to deliver lightning fast response.

The wide and supportive Ankle straps and toe cap straps keep the rider firmly in place whether hiking or riding. The Afterburner utilises Spark’s advanced Tesla mounting system.

This innovative system gives a super fast transition between touring and riding modes giving the rider a far simpler and less complicated procedure at the end of a long hike. The Tesla fixes to the board via your existing Voile pucks or they can be purchased separately.

MEN’S BINDINGS

SNOWBOARD BINDINGS Choosing a binding generally comes in a distant third when looking at new kit. Most people spend an age researching the board and then the same trying on different boots, after that it’s normally a case of “that will do” for the binding because it matches the board. But that approach does a huge disservice to what really is one of the most important parts of a set up. The reality is, this simple bit of plastic is 100% responsible for delivering the input from the rider direct to the board, get this wrong and that input is broken and no matter how careful you were in choosing the rest of your kit the simple truth is that it isn’t going to work properly. When choosing a binding take into account what board it’s going on, how responsive you want it to be and what type of riding you will be doing. Our store and mail order staff can advise you on the perfect binding to match your performance aspirations and board selection.

TSA HARDWARE Inspired by how easily and efficiently a skateboard turns, Now have been able to mimic this function and integrate it into a snowboard binding. By utilising a central kingpin which acts as a fulcrum point for the hanger (baseplate) the Now binding powerfully transfers energy directly from the straps to bushings at the front and rear of the binding so therefore directly to the edges of the board. Traditional bindings diminish energy transfer by flexing and bending of their baseplates, forcing you to crank your straps down harder and ride with more forward lean. Now bindings bypass all of this, they simply transfer more power to the board with less work, meaning your feet will stay more relaxed and comfortable longer.

Now IPO £215.00 The IPO totally revolutionised the whole snowboard binding market. Taking its inspiration from how skateboard trucks work, Now re-engineered the binding to transfer energy to pressure pads at the toe and heel via a Kingpin and Hanger Mounting system. For this season they have totally redeveloped the Hanger and have introduced an all new nylon design. This new hanger delivers almost identical performance but dramatically reduces the price of the binding bringing its truly stunning performance to a whole new price point. The Flex Hinge highback with Flushcup technology and all new 3D toe and ankle strap with re- engineered buckle work in harmony with the full length EVA footbed to deliver a truly stunning class leading ride that will totally blow your mind.

Colours: Black (901) & White (910) Sizes: M (UK6-9) L (UK9-12) Code 822418

Now Select £245.00 The Select is aimed at riders who are looking for the ultimate in versatility and customisation.

Sharing the same skate inspired Nylon Kingpin/Hanger baseplate design of the IPO its performance is assured. But what makes the Select special though is its interchangeable highback options. Out of the box it comes fitted with the new Freestyle highback; this all terrain highback is 40% stiffer than the IPO’s Flex Hinge so gives a more responsive ride and increased control. But it also ships with the High Cup lowback; this can be fitted in minutes and transforms the binding into a freestyle surf inspired binding with unlimited lateral mobility. But that’s not all; the new Hyperfuse ankle strap combines EVA, nylon webbing and TPC reinforcing strips to deliver class leading energy transfer with unrivalled comfort.

Colours: Black (901) & Green (930) Sizes: M (UK6-9) L (UK9-12) Code 822419

Now O-Drive £345.00

Now Drive £265.00

If charging hard and fast big mountain lines is your thing then the O-Drive is the binding for you. Developed by Jeremy Jones it combines all the class leading response, control and performance of the Now system but with a super stiff carbon highback to deliver a truly powerful ride. Sharing the same baseplate as the standard Drive it delivers a responsive and direct ride but it’s the new 12 Ply Carbon Fibre highback that really steps things up. This delivers lightening fast response no matter how big or steep those descents get. With the same reversible Flip-It ankle strap and new 3D Combo Toe Strap as the Drive, the ODrive has all the credentials to deliver top performance for the most demanding riders in the most demanding terrain.

Colour: Black Sizes: M (UK6-9) L (UK9-12) Code 822421

The Drive takes all of Now’s advanced kingpin, pressure pad technology and integrates it into a more all mountain focused binding. By replacing the Nylon hanger and disk with an aluminium version it steps up response giving a more direct energy transfer. For this season Now have introduced a new Calf-Back highback. This Pre rotated design with Calf-back padding has higher medial sides which follow the angle of the leg ensuring that energy pickup is faster and more direct whilst helping to reduce calf bite. The freeride focussed Flip-It Ankle Strap can be flipped to give the rider the option of having the straps sit further up the boot for more control or lower on the boot for a more freestyle feel. Add the new Footbed with higher toe ramp and you get a truly stunning binding that delivers class leading performance without compromising riding comfort.

SNOWBOARD BOOTS If you snowboard then you know how important it is to get boots right. 8 hours on the hill with foot pain is enough to put you off snowboarding for life. If you’re new to snowboarding then this will be your most important purchase.

Bear these very important guidelines in mind when buying boots: • Make time for trying on many pairs. Don’t come in 5 minutes before we close and buy the first pair you see.

• Different brands will fit differently. Even different models of the same brand can differ in width or flex.

• Just because you’re a 9 in your work shoes, it doesn’t mean you’re a 9 in every snowboard boot.

When you come into one of our stores we will have a look at the shape of your foot. Is it wide? Do you have a high instep? Our experienced staff will give you a head start on which boots to look at first. Remember though, it’s fit first people! You need a boot that reflects your riding and the rest of your set up. A super soft boot inside a super stiff binding is a mismatch in our opinion. If you’re just learning you may prefer a softer, more forgiving ride. If you ride fast or need more ankle support you may prefer a stiffer boot. But at the end of the day it’s best to have a chat with us, try on different boots and get them expertly fitted to your feet… it makes such a difference!

Burton Moto £150.00 The Moto has firmly established itself as our best selling price point boot, its combination of class leading performance and feature packed design and construction make it a no brainer for anyone looking for their first pair of boots.

SNOWBOARD OUTERWEAR We take clothing seriously here at The Snowboard Asylum because it doesn’t matter how much you’ve spent on a shiny new hardware set-up, if your clothing sucks, so will your riding day. In fabric technology, waterproof is easy (plastic bags are waterproof), breathable is easy (cotton is very breathable) but waterproof & breathable is more complex. Remember that without good breathability, body vapour condenses on the inside of a waterproof jacket and you will quickly become wet and stay wet.

Waterproofing or water resistance is rated using a ‘hydrostatic head’ test where a fabric’s resistance to water pressure from a vertical column of water is rated in millimetres… giving a water resistance rating of, for example, 10,000mm.

Breathability or MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate) is measured by the rate at which water vapour passes through a square metre of fabric over a 24 hour period.

This gives a breathability rating of, for example, 10,000g/m2/24 (often abbreviated to 10,000g). You will see us abbreviate fabric performance further to 10k/10k for example… but you will understand what this means now won’t you!

Our entry-level clothing will have minimum waterproof/breathable values of 5,000mm and 5,000g, mid range clothing fabrics rate 10,000mm/10,000g with the best performing fabrics delivering 20k/20k. GORE-TEX test their fabrics using a different method but they outperform most on the market and deliver waterproof and breathable levels far above 20,000mm/20,000g. Note that sewing a garment together puts holes in the waterproofing. Manufacturers combat this by factory sealing the inside face of the seams using narrow waterproof tape. Mid range clothing will have all critical seams sealed whilst top end clothing will be fully taped.

If you spend a lot of time riding deep snow in variable and wet conditions and hike in the backcountry a lot then you need a fabric with a high waterproof & breathable rating. Look to wear a layered clothing system of wicking base layers to drive moisture away from your skin and out through your outer layers, a mid layer fleece or in coldest weather Primaloft or down fill jacket, topped with a high performance waterproof and breathable outer layer. GORE-TEX fabrics rule in this high-end outerwear category.

If your aspirations are less extreme and you rock the resorts a couple of times a season and play on the pistes and lift accessible off piste, then you can rely on any of the clothing in our range to deliver the performance and looks that you’ll want.

Under your outerwear a clothing system is still the best way to go, wicking base layers (thermal underwear) are always better than a cotton tee and a thin synthetic mid layer is much better than a cotton hoodie.

Other than all of this waterproof/breathable performance and layering systems tech talk, there are some basic features to look out for: On your jacket a hood is a welcome feature when the wind howls on a long lift. Pit zips are great for dumping hot moist air when you are hiking or overheating your way through your first lessons! An inner snowskirt can stop snow shovelling up your back when you slam.

Inner security pockets and stash pockets help you keep things safe and sorted, whereas outer pockets keep things handy but make sure they have good flaps or water resistant zips.

Pants should fit well but be roomy enough for snowboarding’s all day rigours… and they don’t necessarily have to fit beneath your buttocks! Pockets are good but don’t overload them. Make sure the inner snow gaiters fit comfortably over your boots. A nice feature on some pants allows the hems to be cinched up so the bottoms of the pants don’t get trashed in the après-ride bar floor soup or muddy car park.

RIDER ESSENTIALS

HELMETS

Helmets may not be the answer for everybody or provide unlimited protection, but they can make a difference and for that reason we encourage their use. They’re not just for experts or beginners - anyone who wants to maximise their safety on the hill should consider one. Come into one of our stores, talk through the options with our staff and try some on, you might just be surprised how light, comfortable and affordable they are.

Construction There are 2 main types of construction in snowsports helmets that meet CEN1077 (European safety standard) and ASTM2040 (American safety standard), these are in-mould and hard shell (also referred to as injection moulding). Variations exist on these such as Sweet Protection’s inclusion of carbon fibre. Since last year Giro have added a 3rd type by introducing the Soft Shell.

In-mould Construction In-mould helmets tend to be lighter and cooler than traditional versions. The system fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing EPS foam liner, for good durability without excess weight. This combination of shell and liner results in a better ventilation system.

Hard Shell Takes place when a durable ABS shell and a lightweight EPS liner are bonded together. This type of helmet tends to have less

vents, but they’re great value and very hard-wearing.

Soft Shell Soft Shell construction combines a patent-pending, impact-absorbing liner made with Vinyl Nitrate and a unique flexible outer shell material for a durable and comfortable fit.

Trying On When you try a helmet on it should fit firmly and snugly on your head, align the front of the helmet above your eyebrows and tighten the chin strap. Make sure there are no unwanted gaps between the helmet lining and your head. In addition, check that the back of the helmet does not press the back of your neck. The helmet should fit snugly, when shaking your head it should not move around. It may be worth trying the helmet with one of your favourite pairs of goggles to be certain sure they fit well together.

Sizing Every brand has their own interpretation of what size head should fit into a standard sized helmet (medium, large etc), so when working out what size to get, ignore the word (medium, large etc) and look at the actual figures in cm. Apart from the sizing, each company will have slightly different fits from one another, so it is worth trying a few different makes to see which suits your head best.

Venting Modern helmets are comfortable to wear, due to improvements in fit and construction, as well as ventilation.

The amount and type of ventilation in a helmet might affect which one you choose. More vents will normally equal more powerful cooling if your head warms up, but you should also consider whether the vents are open, pluggable or if there is rider controlled venting that can be adjusted while on-the-move so you don’t have to take the helmet off.
