Snowboard Covers: Online Purchase

Are you looking for a cover to protect your board? Perfect. Whether you keep a board at home or all your complete snowboard gear for a trip, the right cover makes a difference.

Types of Covers

• Simple covers: basic protection against dust and scratches.
• Padded covers: enhanced protection for handling and transport.
• Travel covers / hard shell: designed for air travel and long distances.
• Technical backpacks: for hiking to the station on foot or splitboarding.

Important Features

• Durable materials and water-resistant.
• Reinforcements on wear areas (nose, tail, straps).
• Comfortable handles and straps for carrying.
• External pockets for accessories and snowboard boot bag.
• Internal straps to stabilize the board.

Choosing the Right Size and Style

Measure your board from nose to tail. Choose a cover slightly longer than the board. For a board + bindings, add 5 to 10 cm. If you are also transporting boots and protections, opt for a cover with pockets or take a larger model.

Traveling by Plane?

Prefer reinforced covers or hard shells. They offer better protection against shocks. Check the dimensions accepted by the airline. Some covers are specifically designed for air travel.

Maintenance

• Shake the cover after use to remove snow and dirt.
• Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap. No tumble drying if padded.
• Completely dry before storage to avoid odors and mold.
