Buying snowboard gear isn’t cheap, so it’s a decision worth making consciously A lot of people ask whether it’s better to rent snowboard gear or buy your own. And honestly, both make sense., it just depends on where you are in your journey. Rentals usually start at around $35–$40.That’s a great option if you’re just trying it out and figuring out whether snowboarding is something you actually want to keep doing. I kept my setup very basic and beginner-friendly, nothing fancy: • Snowboard & bindings: decathloncanada • Boots: sportchek • Snow pants: mountainwarehouse • Helmet: mec If you go regularly, within two or three seasons, you’ll start to feel like you’re actually saving money by not renting every single time. And when you get better and want to upgrade, that’s when premium gear comes into the picture (and yes, it gets even more expensive 😅). My honest advice: 👉 Rent first 👉 Make sure you enjoy it and will stick to it 👉 Then invest . . . . . . . #snowboarding #canada...
