Snowboarding is super fun only with proper outfit and gear. The dress should be proper so that it is easy to face snow and super cold temperatures. Dressing aptly before heading out for snowboarding is mandatory. Weather conditions are very dramatic on the mountains thus the importance of a full three layer protected outfit cannot be denied. 

Here is a full description of outfits that one should wear while going on a snowboarding session.

• For lower body: proper snowboarding wear for lower body is very important. One has to wear a pair of good quality warm socks to cover the feet. The socks should be long and reach up to knees or up to the cuff of boots. Long socks cover the full feet and keep the legs warm. Thus the pain or numbness of legs is reduced and helps stay comfortable for the whole day. 
• The socks should be of fabric that protects from extreme cold temperatures. Some of the preferred fabrics are polyester, nylon, wool, and synthetic. However, Merino wool socks are the best most suited ones. These socks prove their worth while snowboarding on mountain peaks.
• For the body one must wear two-layered winter wear. Wearing long thermal underwear as a base layer and then going for long johns is the best option. Even the undergarments on snowboarding sessions should be made of wool or synthetic fabric. 
• One could wear leggings to keep the feet warm. However, thermal long johns are the best option while on hilly terrain. Wearing waterproof and windproof pants while snowboarding is mandatory. Denims are not a good option while snowboarding.
• For Upper body: wearing a three layered winter outfit for the upper body is quite mandatory while snowboarding. There should be an insulating layer, outer layer, and mid layer to cover the upper part of the body. Three layered outfits will control the body temperature for the full session. One layer can be removed when there is sunlight while starting the session.
• The base layer should be made of high-breathable fabric. The fabric should absorb moisture so that one does not feel wet while snowboarding. If opting for a long-sleeved athletic shirt then wear a thick layered winter wear to stay dry and warm.
• For the mid layer opt for any outfit that keeps warm like woolen jacket, sweater, fleece t-shirt or pullovers. As per specific requirements and body type choose the clothing that gives ample warmth, supports mobility, and is comfortable. For winter months choose outfits that give the required amount of warmth. Opting for a down jacket to cover the body from the cold is mandatory.
• For the outer layer windproof and waterproof jackets are required. The jackets will keep warm while gliding on the snow covered peaks. Above all choose clothing that has insulation.
• For the face, cover it with a mask, balaclava and tie a muffler around the neck. Wear sunglasses as it protects the eyes from snow and wind. Also, cover the palms with a good pair of mittens and gloves.
