Padded shorts that are great for Snowboarding

Snowboarding is a great sport, but you need to take some precautions to keep yourself safe. Padded shorts protect you during falls, not just your tush, but also thighs and crotch. These padded protective shorts are not just for use while snowboarding but various sporting activities. They are great for protection while skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, figure skating, roller skating, skateboarding or even riding your hoverboard or electric scooter.

Here we look at two extremely popular bands of padded shorts for snowboarding, that have hundreds of great reviews on Amazon.

SoaReD Padded Snowboarding Shorts Review

The SoaReD Padded 3D shorts are give protection to your butt, crotch and thigh. They have been named as 3D padded shorts as the shorts have clear projections where the padding is present. You can actually see and of course feel where you are protected. These SoaReD padded shorts are available in black colour and also provide protection to the hips. These shorts are quite durable as they have double stitching on the protective pads, so that the shorts stay robust even when you stretch and bend while snowboarding.

The main highlights of the SoaReD padded shorts is that they have very good ventilation that ensures that you stay dry and warm. The mesh vent strap in front also helps in ensuring good ventilation and comfort. The fitting is also quite good as an elastic band allows for a reasonable amount of adjustability. Of course, the protection it provides will prevent injuries and also make the shorts shock resistant to a large extent.

In fact the 0.6 inch thick EVA padding on these SoaReD shorts gives protection even to the lumbar region. They are also very useful in protection of the tailbone, especially with children and elders, when they fall backwards. EVA is a very versatile environment friendly material with excellent properties of cushioning, shock resistance and heat insulation.

These padded shorts come with their own branded Easy Storage bags.

These shorts are available in a large size range to provide for all ages and body sizes. They are available in sizes XXS, XS, S and M for kids, and L, XL, XXL, and XXXL for adults.

One user has written that his daughter wore this pads and did ice skating and fell over a hundred times in one week, and had absolutely no bruises. One snowboarder says that he always uses the SoaReD padded shorts while snowboarding and that they have saved him several times from a broken tailbone while practicing on rails.

Triple Eight Bumsaver padded shorts review

best snowboarding padded shorts triple eight 8 bumsaver review

Another excellent option for padded shorts for snowboarding and indeed any outdoor sports where you need protection from falls is the Triple Eight Bumsaver. Triple Eight is an established brand with a whole range of products in sports goods and accessories. Their Bumsaver is a top best seller among padded shorts on Amazon. This particular padded shorts has a form-fitting design and is made using mesh for better breathability. The padding is EVA which is a very efficient environment friendly material when it comes to shock absorption, padding and heat insulation. They also provide enough flexibility for bending and turning your body while snowboarding. For convenience, the pads are removable, making it easier to wash them. Overall these padded shorts are very comfortable and a great accessory for snowboarders. The padding also protects the lumbar region and the tailbone.

The shock absorbing and protective EVA padding is there throughout the hip area and the tailbone area for added protection. Due to the lightweight and flexible material of the Bumsaver padded shorts they are great for wearing under your shorts or clothes, and unlike many other padded shorts there will be no discomfort due to sweat.

Regarding how to wash the shorts, a verified user has this advice – you can machine wash them or hand wash them but do not machine dry them. They should only be air dried.

One user said that before getting the Triple Eight Bumsaver he had fallen very hard on his hips and get a haematoma. However, after wearing the Bumsaver padded shorts he has never even felt sore after falls.

A beginner snowboarder says that the Bumsaver padded shorts saved him from injury and also from any contusions despite his many falls during his learning period.

Most reviewers agree that the pads are pretty large and cover a lot of area, and also are thicker than the regular protection.

It’s no wonder that the Triple Eight padded shorts have almost 200 reviews and a 4 star rating.

Racewax Ski Tuning Kit - a detailed review

The Racewax ski tuning kit is one of the best that you can buy today. A fact that has been ratified by the top ranking it has held for a very long time as the bestselling ski wax tuning kit on Amazon.

Though there are cheaper ski waxing and tuning kits on sale, this kit has been the top choice of buyers on Amazon. There are several reviews from actual buyers and all of them are praising the overall ski tuning kit. One verified buyer says that the kit contains well over 300 dollars worth of ski tuning and maintenance components and items. That is a huge amount of value that you get at under 200 dollars.

Another reviewer says that they have used the kits several times on their family skis, and on his own skis he has waxed twice and found a nice bump in his speed. Some reviewer feel that buying your own higher quality wax is an option that you can choose, along with buying a cheap brush for getting metal shavings off.

A buyer said that they had tuned several skis and a snowboard and the kit was holding up brilliantly. They did need new files as they did not last very long.

Main Features of the Racewax Complete Ski Tuning Kit

One of the first things to know about the Racewax ski tuning kit, is that it has absolutely everything that will need for your skis and snowboards tuning and maintenance. To convert it into a snowboard tuning kit, all you need is a Swix/Toko adaptor, that is sold separately.

This ski tuning kit is especially useful for those who need to tune several skis, like a family that goes skiing together. If you have several skis and snowboards to tune, you should choose this kit immediately.

The Racewax ski tuning kit has an edge tool that works for over 20 angles, both for the base and the side. A 70 mm diamond stone enables honing the edges finely without removing or filing metal. The entire kit contains multiple items that complete your ski tuning kit in every way. Some of its highlights are the center jaws which deliver superior stability for skis through their 60 mm wide gripping length.

Here are all the things that you get in your Racewax Complete Ski Tuning Kit

Multi Tool for Base-Side Filing

This is a great tool for your edges. The multi tool comes with a 2-sided metal file too. This tool has an angle range from 0 to 5 degrees and the angle dial is very precise. You need to be sure of the way you want your edge tuned, if you take too big an angle you could end up in a fall. This is a very good tool overall for tuning your edges.

Wax Iron

The Racewax kit comes with a Wintersteiger wax iron that has a range of 100 to 170 degrees. It is a very high quality wax iron, and enables you to get the right amount of wax melt, no matter what the brand or quality of wax you use. The iron has curved edges which allows for better spreading of the wax.

All Temperature Wax

This is the wax that comes with the kit, and it is a sizable 150 grams bar that will allow for at least 15 wax jobs. The quality of the wax is good but not great. Some buyers have chosen to go with other more expensive wax. The wax works well with all temperatures and does a good job overall, but it is not very high speed.

Blue Diamond Stone File from DMT

The Blue Diamond Stone that is there in the kit is very good for maintaining the edges of your skis and snowboard, but there are some users who said that they would replace it with a better grit diamond stone. In a ski tuning kit a diamond stone sometimes overlooked, but this is a very important as per our experts.

Ski Wax Scraper

The ski wax scraper in the Racewax kit is 5 mm thick and has polished edges, as well as a corner notch that enables cleaning of the edge. This wax scraper helps you to get more pressure on tough wax and is excellent for skis.

Snowboard Wax Scraper

This is the snowboard wax scraper with dimensions of 9 inch x 2-3/8. This is a great scraper that lasts for a long time, and for several rounds. It has corner notch that does a great job too even under tough wax conditions.

Coarse Gray Gummi Stone

This is a great addition for tuning your skis edges. This gummi stone also works very well for any rust spots. As a part of the kit, it is quite useful and really helps in making the kit complete in every way.

Brushes for wax and polishing – Brass brush, Nylon brush, Fine Horsehair Brush

The three brushes with the Racewax complete ski tuning kit are extremely useful. The brass brush is great for brushing off any hard wax and opening up the pores of the board, the nylon brush does the bulk of the work of wax removal. And finally the fine horsehair brush removes the finest wax giving the base a fine polish and a great feel when skiing.

Metal scraper

The included metal scraper is good quality and very effective for excess wax and even the leftovers of the season. It is strong and sturdy and will not bend when you scrape.

2 sticks of P-Tex

The kit has two sticks of P-Tex one clear and one Black. They work well.

A file brush made from brass

This one is especially effective for the edges and excellent for really fine tuning your brushing.

Brake retainers

There are two large brake retainers, which are ideal for your skis. They are strong and sturdy and work very well.

A tool bag for the entire kit

The Cordura tool bag for the kit is double zippered and has more than enough space for everything in the kit. In fact you will have space left over for anything else you want to put in there. It has convenient outer pockets and also internal straps along with the carry straps.

Another great choice is the Demon Ski and Snowboard Waxing Kit - 13 piece

The Demon 13 Piece Ski and Snowboard Wax Kit has been ranked as the number one by several experts, and with good reason as Demon actually offers a lifetime guarantee on components like the iron.

One of the main reasons a complete tune kit is great is that you end up saving quite a bit of money compared to buying all the components separately. Also with Demon the components are so well attuned to each other (stuff like the wax temperature and the iron with adjustable temperature, the 90/88 degree board edge tuner etc.) that you get an overall wonderful kit, that would take you a lot of effort and searching to put together otherwise. At less than $65 this kit is a no brainer, just buy it and start waxing your own skis like a boss.

Also the real advantage of having a complete and good quality wax and tuning kit is that you don’t need to go to a shop for tuning your skis or snowboard. So, and can forget about the hassles of standing in a queue and also spending a whole lot of money every time, and don’t forget about the sheer extra time and effort required to go get it done in a shop.

With the Demon ski waxing kit you will be able to get to the chair before anyone else too. And not to ignore the fact that you will have the awesome convenience of tuning your gear from the comfort of your hotel room itself.

Well let’s get down to specifics.

The Demon Ski Waxing and Tuning Kit contains 13 components, starting with the Iron and covering all the things that you will need for complete professional waxing and tuning job.

Here are the components one by one –

Adjustable Temperature Iron

As we have already mentioned the waxing iron with the Demon kit is really great. It is small and just the right size to get to all parts of your skis and snowboards easily. The adjustable temperature makes it really useful, and the stability of the temperature is also excellent. The range of temperature is from 65 degrees Centigrade/149 degrees Fahrenheit to 230 degrees Centigrade /445 degrees Fahrenheit. The smooth metal base is 13cm x 9cm. It has operation compatibility for 110 volts and 220 volts, which means you can use it anywhere in the world. This iron is of such robust quality that Demon gives a lifetime warranty on it.

Tuning Stone

The tuning stone is long lasting and effective, and is effective in removing small dings and dents and smoothing out.

Tuning Instructions Guide

The instruction guide is pretty good and will help even a complete beginner to do waxing for their gear. It has good clear instructions, but watching a video or two on YouTube will also be great. An especially good choice is this video on using the Demon Ski Waxing Kit.

90/88 Degrees Edge Turner

This is something that doesn’t come with most wax kits. The 90/88 degree edge tuner will let you tune the edges of your skis most effectively.

Wax (Demon White Lightning Universal Wax with this kit)

The wax is a pack of 133 gram Demon universal white wax, and if that fulfils your requirement then you do not need to buy any. However if you need different wax, then Demon has a wide variety of high quality wax that you can choose from.

Carry Bag with Handle

This polyester carry bag is very easy to carry and holds everything in the kit very well. The case is sturdy and has a nice handle, making it extremely convenient to carry the entire kit when you set out for your trip to the mountains. It has enough space and pockets that neatly hold everything in place.

The other components in the kit are a Flat File, White and Black Ptex sticks, Metal Scrapper, Wax Scrapper (7.5″), Shaving Brush, Wire Brush and Polish Pad.

Conclusion

This entire kit at such a reasonable price is a great deal indeed. We recommend that you go for this kit, and you can be sure you can do a shop quality tuning of your skis and snowboard right in your home or hotel room.

Ski Tuning Kit FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to use a ski tuning kit?

The entire process of ski or snowboard tuning is to make the skis and snowboard glide better, turn easier and deliver a smoother more enjoyable experience. A ski tuning kit allows you to tune your own skis and snowboard without needing to go and spend hundreds of dollars at a store. Since it is advised to tune your skis and snowboard every few days, that can really add up to a massive amount, compared to under 100 or even under 50 dollars for a decent ski tuning kit.

How frequently do I need to tune my skis and snowboard?

Most experts agree that the frequency of tuning is dependent on how often you are using them and what the conditions of the snow are. However, the general thumb rule is to give your skis and snowboard a wax every 4 to 7 days.

Why do I need to sharpen the edges of my skis?

When you sharpen the edges of your skis, it enhances your turning and stopping capability. That is why you need to sharpen your ski edges. However, if you are at a park often then the edges can come in the way when it comes to boxes and rails. So, you need to keep the right balance when sharpening the edges.

What temperature should I set my ski iron to?

The simple rule for setting the temperature of your ski iron, is to keep at the lowest temperature at which it will easily melt wax. The good quality ski wax iron holds the temperature steady, but a low quality one will cool down as soon as it comes in contact with the base. This is because the base is a cooler material and will draw away some of the heat.

What is Hot Scraping?

It is the most popular method to the clean the base of your skis. The idea is to iron in the wax and then scrape it way when it is still in a liquid or melted state. This cleans the base as the hot wax brings impurities to the top, which is then scraped away with the wax. This can be done several times to completely remove old wax and other impurities.

Some of the things you need for tuning your skis

There are many things that are required for a complete tuning job, and to be able to do it well and easily. Here is a list of things that you might need.

Ski Vises is the first thing, and you will get the best ones from the list above. A good pair of ski vises will secure your skis while you sharpen them.

Diamond Stones are needed for repairing skis. Rough-grit stones are used on damaged edge sections, and for general purposes you should use a medium-grit stone.

Gummy stone - The gummy stone sounds like an odd device but it is a very cheap tool for detuning the skis and polishing them.

Files with a file guide - You will need a good fie for setting a bevel and for sharpening edges of the skis. The file guides help in using the file guides.

A wax iron for the skis will help in applying hot wax to the skis and also gives better temperature control.

A wax scraper made from plastic is useful to scrape off wax from the ski bases.

Of course you will need blocks of wax for hot-waxing cycles and other requirements.

Gouges and scratches repairing P-Tex Candle.

A brake retainer will help keep the brakes out of the way when you are tuning your skis.

These should be enough for doing your ski tuning efficiently and effectively.

How to maintain a Snowmobile - some great tips for all you snowmobile junkies

Like any other vehicle, Snowmobile runs on the same mechanics except for the roller track that makes it plod through the snow. In order to ensure longevity and max out the durability of the machine, it is necessary to oil the gears and grease the engine. Although a tedious affair, these quick and dirty tips will make your servicing job a piece of cake.

Replace chain case lube and tighten the chain

Look into the chain case and identify the condition of the set. If the oil is slippery, fluid and smooth, then it is good for use. In case, the oil is dense, darker and inconsistent in its texture, it’s a signal for an oil change. Where the oil is lesser than the ideal requirement, make sure it is replenished. Tightening a chain to the prescribed specification will ensure synchronized drive and propulsion.

Hyfax upkeep and replacement

Hyfax is the slippery surface on the bottom of the suspension rail that helps the vehicle to slide against the track. Due to wear and tear, the edges and outer skin of the hyfax sustain a lot of damage. If left unchecked, it can dampen the speed and mobility of the snowmobile. Even if 1/8^th of the hyfax falls under the line, it must be swapped with a new piece.

Fixing the exhaust manifold

The thumb rule to find out if the exhaust manifold is tarnished with soot and carbon stains is to inspect the cylinders at the front under the hood. If they are sticky and coated with murky gunk, then the manifolds need a thorough cleansing. Remove the Y-pipe from the cylinder, clean the mount and inspect the pipe seams for separation. If the joints between exhaust systems have any broken exhaust spring, it’s time to get them fixed or replaced.

General greasing in regular intervals

A vastly trivial yet grossly powerful method to maintain the luster and sturdiness of the snowmobile is to ensure that the machine is greased appropriately. Take a few minutes to inject a few drops of fresh grease in the front & back suspension, steering component, and the drive train.

Scrub and check lights

It is lifesaving to double check the condition and illuminating capacity of the tail light and brake lights. Power up the sled and switch on all the blinkers and lights. In case you see any dim or broken light, replace it instantly.

While this is definitely not an exhaustive list of checks, all of these vital checks will prolong the life of the sled. Ski and track alignment, the life of reed cages and petals, carbides etc. should also form part of the maintenance ritual for safe snow riding.
