The small stuff makes a big difference on the mountain. The right accessories keep you warm between runs, protect your gear, and sort out the little problems that can otherwise end a day early.

Our snow wear accessories range brings together the practical extras that round out a snowboarding or skiing kit, from trusted brands.

What Are Snow Wear Accessories?

Snow wear accessories are the supporting items that go alongside your jacket, pants, and board. They are not the big-ticket gear, but they are the bits you reach for constantly: the spare laces, the protective layers, the neck warmers, and the small extras that keep a day running smoothly. Many are cheap, and all of them earn their place.

Because they are easy to overlook, these are often the items riders wish they had packed. A few well-chosen accessories make the difference between cutting a day short and riding comfortably until the lifts close.

Types of Snow Wear Accessories

• Spare parts: replacement boot laces and small components to fix problems on the go
• Neck warmers and face masks: warmth and protection for your face and neck in cold wind
• Protective layers: impact shorts and body protection for park riders and anyone pushing their limits
• Base layer extras: thermals, socks, and liners that add warmth under your outerwear
• Small essentials: the handy extras that keep your kit organised and ready

Most riders build up a small collection of these over time, adding whatever makes their days on the mountain more comfortable.

Staying Warm with the Right Extras

A warm core and a warm face keep you out riding, and the right accessories close the gaps your jacket and pants leave. A neck warmer or face mask seals the gap between your helmet and collar, stopping cold wind reaching your chest, while a good base layer and warm socks trap heat where you need it. Avoid cotton socks, which hold sweat and chill your feet; a proper snow sock keeps you warmer and drier.

Layering is the key to comfort on a changeable mountain day, and small accessories let you fine-tune your warmth without carrying a bulky extra jacket.

Protection for Harder Riding

If you ride the park or push your riding, protective accessories are worth considering. Impact shorts cushion falls on your hips and tailbone, which take a lot of the knocks when you are learning tricks or riding rails. Other body protection adds a layer of confidence for riders progressing into bigger features.

Protection should fit snugly under your outerwear without restricting movement, so you can ride freely while staying cushioned. For park riders, these accessories can turn a day of heavy slams into a day of steady progress.

Spare Parts and Repairs

Few things are more frustrating than a snapped boot lace at the top of the mountain, which is why spare parts are a smart buy. Replacement laces, in a range of colours, let you fix a problem on the spot instead of heading in early. Keeping a few small spares in your bag means a minor failure does not cost you a day's riding.

It is worth checking your boots, bindings, and gear before a trip and packing the spares most likely to be useful, so you are not caught out miles from the nearest shop.

Choosing the Right Accessories

The right accessories come down to how and where you ride. Think about the gaps in your current kit: are your hands and face warm enough, do your socks keep you comfortable, and do you have spares for the parts most likely to fail. Park riders should prioritise protection, while anyone riding cold resorts benefits from extra warmth.

Sizing matters for anything worn on the body, so check the size guide for protective layers and base layers, and our team in Poole can help you choose if you are unsure.

Caring for Your Accessories

A little care keeps your extras doing their job.

• Wash base layers and neck warmers following the care label
• Dry everything fully before storing to prevent odours
• Check protective layers for wear and secure fastenings
• Keep spare parts together in your bag so they are ready when needed
• Store clean and dry at the end of the season

Base layers and neck warmers work hard against your skin, so regular washing keeps them fresh and performing.

How Much Do Snow Wear Accessories Cost?

Prices depend on the item and the brand. Spare parts and simple accessories sit at the lower end of the range, base layers and neck warmers fall in the middle, and technical protective layers sit higher. Most accessories are an affordable way to improve your comfort and preparedness on the mountain.

Because many of these items are inexpensive and useful, they are an easy way to round out a kit. You'll find a spread of budgets across the range.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snow Wear Accessories

What snow wear accessories do I actually need?

At a minimum, warm socks, a neck warmer or face mask, and a few spares such as boot laces. Park riders should add impact protection, and cold-resort riders extra base layers.

Why should I avoid cotton socks?

Cotton holds sweat and chills your feet. A proper snow sock wicks moisture and keeps you warmer and drier through the day.

Do I need impact protection?

If you ride the park or are learning tricks, impact shorts cushion falls on your hips and tailbone and are well worth having. For gentle piste riding they are optional.

What is a neck warmer for?

It seals the gap between your helmet and collar, keeping cold wind off your neck and chest, and can be pulled up over your face in bad weather.

Are spare boot laces worth carrying?

Yes. A snapped lace can end a day early, so a cheap spare in your bag means you can fix the problem on the spot and keep riding.

How should protective layers fit?

Snugly under your outerwear without restricting movement, so they stay in place and cushion falls while letting you ride freely.

How do I look after base layers and neck warmers?

Wash them following the care label and dry them fully before storing, as they work against your skin and benefit from regular cleaning.

Do you sell snow clothing and gloves too?

Yes. Our wider range covers snow jackets, pants, gloves, and base layers to complete your mountain kit.
