#baggyvsfitted

New to snowboarding or leveling up your freestyle game? The big debate: baggy or fitted snow wear? Your choice impacts comfort, movement, posture – and even competition scores.

For beginners and free riders, baggy snow wear wins every time. Loose fit means max flexibility for learning turns, grabs, and spins. No restrictions, easy layering, better fall protection, and all-day comfort. Fitted gear? It can feel tight and limiting when you're just getting the hang of things.

In Japan’s JSBA freestyle comps, riders go extra baggy for that elegant, grounded posture. Color blocks on abdomen/knees make tricks look deeper and more fluid – judges love it for visual flow and balance.

Why Fit Matters:

Freedom of movement

Fatigue reduction

Posture & visual appeal (huge in comps)

Baggy for Free Riding/Freestyle:

Unrestricted grabs & spins

Room for layers & air flow

Relaxed vibe perfect for park sessions

Fitted for Competition/Technical:
