Stance Iconic Mid Poly Snow Socks 2025-2026
PRICE: €32.95 NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Stance Iconic Mid Poly Snow Socks:
After 8-plus hours of stuffing them in snowboard boots, the least you can do for your feet is treat them to some quality post-shredding socks like these. Maybe not everyone thinks about style when picking out a pair of socks – but those who do will love the muted, classic design on show here. More importantly, they’re comfy and breathable as hell.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
Cotton may not be flashy, but it does the job where socks are concerned, and keeps the cost down. There’s no seam at the toe, which is always a plus.
Darn Tough Snowpack OTC Midweight Snow Socks 2025-2026
PRICE: $28.95 NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Darn Tough Snowpack OTC Midweight Snow Socks:
A good pair of socks are the difference between a good days’ snowboarding and a great days snowboarding. These puppies will keep you cruising in comfort. Someone who’s looking for performance and comfort will find these to be a great fit.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
A seamless fit provides the comfort, while a midweight merino blend helps to wick away moisture and keep your tootsies warm and dray all day long.
Why we chose the Skullcandy Dime Evo Headphones:
Not everyone wants to go wireless on the hill, but for those that do, it’s wise to use headphones that can rise to the challenges beyond mere sound quality. These will suit the active rider/traveller that’s also budget-conscious. As is common with Skullcandy, they’re available in a zillion colourways as well.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The long-lasting battery and sweat-resistant properties make this a ‘phone for all seasons.
Toggling the ‘Stay-Aware’ mode lets in more of the surrounding noise, which is a no-brainer when on a busy slope.
Tester Verdict
Pat Nichols
“Cracking little Bluetooth headphones that come with a handy clip-on case for easy storage and charging. I ran these under a buff and a helmet lapping the park, and not only were they comfy, they didn’t fall out or get lost! Good headphones for riding.”
PRICE: €109 SIZES: XS, S, M, L, XL SHAPE: Mitten NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Crab Grab Champ Mitts:
The clue’s in the name: this glove is ready to take on all comers, and it’ll take a hell of a challenger to end its reign at the top. These are mega-warm, so fairweather riders may want something more lightweight. But with a huge range of unisex sizes, this really is a mitt for the masses.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The waffle-pattered liners are the standout feature of the Crab Grab Champ mitts; as well as being cosy, they allow air to move around, preventing the sweatbox effect.
Tester Verdict
Tristan Kennedy
“There’s a reason I’ve run these gloves day in, day out for two years. They’re ridiculously warm and comfortable for the price. The grippy palm also legitimately helps you get your tweak on (or certainly provides enough placebo effect to feel like it!). They also come in so many different colours and styles to match with your fit. No-brainer.”
PRICE: $112 SIZES: 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Oyuki Yotei GORE-TEX Trigger Mittens
The warmth of a mitt & the dexterity of a glove, what’s not to love.
If your hands run cold, but you struggle to tighten your bindings through your padded mittens then these are the gloves for you.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
Stuffed with 170g of Primaloft Gold insulation and a luxurious fleece lined palm, slipping your hands into these puppies is like a cozy day at the spa. While the goat skin leather palm provides plenty of grip to ensure you still have functional use of your hands alongside all the cozy vibes. While the outside is finished with GORE-TEX waterproofing to keep you dry on the wetter days.
Why we chose the Spiral Wax Co. Wizard All Temp Wax:
This one’s a labour of love, handmade in Oregon by a team with a mission to make the best eco-friendly wax out there. Riders who are fussy about their wax will appreciate the options on offer (warm, cold and all-temp), and the fact that it’s fully biodegradable shouldn’t go unnoticed either.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
It’s probably no surprise that details of the ‘proprietary blend of natural and traditional wax ingredients’ have been kept close to the chest – but whatever’s in there, it ticks all the boxes.
Tester Verdict
Pat Nichols
“This was wax. Nothing notable to report, but it went on the board nice and slid nice. Does the job as an all temp wax should.”
We love Scott Stevens, but hate slipping off the topsheet when we try and imitate him. Enter the humble stomp pad!
Whether you’re trying to add some insane one-foot wizardry to your bag of tricks, or simply struggle getting off the chairlift with your slippery topsheet these stomp pads will add the traction you need to get the job done.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The Mega Claws are 6.5 inches long and constructed with a specially formulated foam for maximum grip but minimal added weight. They also stick on with a heavy duty glue to ensure they don’t scrub off when you need them most.
PRICE: €119.95 / $139.95 / £104.95 NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Autumn Select Fit Beanie:
Tons of great gear, from jackets to socks, bears the Autumn name these days – but the brand’s roots are in making quality headgear like this. Those who like a classic folded beanie with a subtle herringbone weave will want to check this out – and a whopping sixteen-strong colourway range means there’s a Select for every outfit.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The Autumn Select Fit beanie is 100% acrylic, which combined with the medium thickness makes it a great ‘daily driver’ hat, from December to April, and from first chair to last call.
Tester Verdict
Sara Previte
“This hat is very comfortable and extremely trendy; Autumn hit the mark with their designs year after year. This quite basic hat is given a coolness with the alternating weave of colors so you get a red hat with a pop of another color in the knit.”
Tester Verdict
Kevin Frank
“Autumn makes the best touques, full stop. Great fit, exceptional build quality and material use, and classic and stylish colours! Not too much tech involved here; just a great hat. This specific model may be a bit thick to rock under a helmet though, if that’s your thing.”
Why we chose the Coal Vista Clava Balaclava:
Looking good isn’t a priority when it’s dangerously cold – but hey, if it’s an option then why not go for it? If you like your full-face covering to be a little on the baggy side, as well as made of recycled materials, then you can’t go wrong with this one. And one size fits most!
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The Coal Vista Clava goes for that Minions style, with one big eye-hole surrounded by a merrowed border. It’s comfy, and doesn’t reduce your visibility. Meanwhile the rest of your face stays toasty warm.
Tester Verdict
Pat Nichols
“This is the best thing I’ve ever put on my head. Super comfortable, without feeling constricting like some ballies. The fit is spot on and it’s so fucking cool. It has stylish street cred without looking like you’re about to batter someone’s grandma and steal her purse. I love it.”
From small gifts, to the main present – your little one will be stoked on these!

Giro Buster Kids’ Snowboard Goggle 2025-2026
PRICE: £40 / €49.95 / $64.95 LENS: Cylindrical SYSTEM: Standard SIZE: Youth Medium NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Giro Buster:
The Buster boasts proper optical performance that helps young riders see the whole mountain – including Expansion View Technology for maximum peripheral vision. Groms progressing from piste turns to park laps and/or who need a goggle that fits comfortably over glasses.
Tech Talk Lens, frame, and straps
The injection-molded cylindrical lens refines optics and reduces distortion compared to thermo-formed alternatives, while Expansion View Technology shaves down the frame rim for unparalleled peripheral vision. OTG-friendly engineering creates extra interior volume to accommodate prescription glasses comfortably, with increased airflow keeping vision crisp and fog-free. Triple-layer face foam with microfleece facing delivers comfort while blocking wind and cold, and seamless compatibility with Giro helmets ensures a proper fit.
smith scout junior mips snowboard helmet 2025-2026
Smith Scout Jr. MIPS Kids’ Helmet 2025-2026
PRICE: €110 / £105 / $110 SIZES: S, M, L MIPS: Yes NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Smith Scout Jr. MIPS:
Dual-certified for snow and bike means this bomber hardshell helmet handles year-round progression, while Mips protection delivers proper impact tech without the premium price. Young riders who are ready to step up to the bigger slopes – and perhaps the park – need a helmet that balances protection with comfort. Enter the Smith Scout Jr.
Tech Talk Materials, construction, features and safety certs
Advanced ABS hardshell construction provides impact protection and all-around durability, while the Mips Brain Protection System reduces rotational forces from angled impacts. Smith’s self-adjusting ‘lifestyle fit’ flexes to match head shapes for maximum comfort, removable ear pads let you adjust the warmth level according to the conditions, and eight fixed vents maintain consistent airflow. AirEvac ventilation integrates with Smith goggles for fog-free vision throughout the day.
PRICE: €54 SIZES: S, M, L NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Crab Grab Cinch Youth Mitt:
These have all the features you’d expect to find on an adult model, and no less. These are best suited to the kid that is getting serious about their riding, and needs gear that can keep up – but don’t want to be drowning in grown-up gloves.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The 15,000ml waterproofing combined with Primaloft insulation ensures these will hold up to just about anything. The grippy palm is ace too, and just the thing for getting those early grabs locked in.
PRICE: $139.95 / €130 / £120 SIZES: 90 FLEX: 1 SHAPE: True Twin PROFILE: Flat 3D: Yes BASE: Edgeless Extruded NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Burton Riglet:
The Riglet’s built-in tow rope and edgeless construction transform any low-friction surface into a learning zone – brilliant for building confidence before tackling actual slopes. Just watch them on the stairs! First-time riders aged three and up who need a gentle introduction to sliding sideways will thrive on this forgiving, parent-friendly learning tool. Trust us when we say that since its introduction 10 years ago, the Riglet has introduced a whole generation to the joy of snowboarding.
Tech Talk Shape, profile, sidecut and construction materials
Simple is better with the Riglet. Its Flat Top profile with Easy Bevel edges creates a super forgiving platform that won’t catch or punish mistakes. The grippy topsheet helps little boots stay planted while the built-in Riglet reel lets you tow them across snow, carpet, or grass for year-round practice sessions.

Dragon DX3 Goggles 2025-2026
Dragon DX3 Goggles 2025-2026
PRICE: £60 / €71 / $75 LENS: Cylindrical SYSTEM: Manual SIZE: Medium NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Dragon DX3 Goggles:
’Frameless’ was once the future, but by now it’s clear that classic-framed goggles will never die – especially when you’re looking at the more affordable price points. With most goggles running to three figures these days, riders on a budget would be bonkers not to consider this one. A true classic, with a long record of service.
Tech Talk Lens, frame, and straps
The lens isn’t easy to change by modern standards, but it can be done thanks to notches in the lens and anchor points in the frame. Likewise, we’ve seen better face foam, but we defy anyone not to find the Dragon DX3 goggles sitting comfortably on their face. They’re also available in a larger size, if that’s your thing.
Tester Verdict
Pat Nichols
“Price point goggles that were super effective, really comfortable. The field of vision was suitably wide, good contrast for clarity. The frame is nice and flexible for a snug fit. The bridge came up a little high in the inside of the nose, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. Hard to recommend better goggles for this price.”
PRICE: £375 / €375 / $503 LENS: Conical SYSTEM: Frame Lock SIZE: Medium/Large NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: Yes
Why we chose the Oakley Flow Scape Goggles:
Conical lenses have entered the building! It’s the first new configuration in a while, but based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s definitely been worth the wait.
Fans of bleeding-edge tech will want to try this new approach to goggles – but if you’re after something with bonus sustainability points, this one’s frame is made from bio-resin.
Tech Talk Lens, frame, and straps
That lens isn’t just upping the field of vision – it’s pretty much guaranteed to banish distortion and fogging, largely thanks to its single-layer design. We also straight-up love Oakley’s Prizm lenses, and they come with a spare. The face foam on the Oakley Flow Scape goggles is also new, and cleverly positioned to stay out of sight.
Tester Verdict
Jim Walker
“I often find that when I wear good goggles I don’t notice them, and that’s been the bar by which I judge whether they’re good or not for a while now… However the Flow Scape has blown that method out of the water as I immediately noticed just how large the field of view was on these without major distortion. They’re absolutely amazing, super comfortable and crystal clear vision. I’d highly recommend them!”
PRICE: £100.00 / €99.95 / $124.95 SIZES: S, M, L MIPS: Yes NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Giro Ledge FS MIPS:
Giro’s helmet expertise spans cycling to skateboarding and of course wintersports, and the Ledge brings that pedigree to park riding with integrated MIPS and hard-shell durability at an accessible price. Budget-conscious park riders and beginners who want proven MIPS protection from a trusted brand without splashing out on premium in-mold construction.
Tech Talk Materials, construction, features and safety certs
The Ledge uses hard-shell construction, molding a rugged ABS outer shell to an EPS liner for bomber durability. Integrated MIPS reduces rotational forces while working with the Auto Loc 2 Fit System. Stack Vent Technology aligns with goggle center vents to combat fogging, while Vertical Tuning eliminates gaper gap. Removable ear pads and Super Cool vents complete the smart, minimalist package.
PRICE: £153 / €180 / $206 SIZES: S, M, L, XL MIPS: Yes NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Oakley Mod 1 Pro MIPS:
Skate-style aesthetics meets peak on-snow performance in the Mod 1, with colour and size ranges to suit every melon. If you want the MIPS system, then this is arguably the most accessible way in – certainly for Oakley’s line. Lots of reassuringly strong tech for not a huge asking price.
Tech Talk Materials, construction, features and safety certs
MIPS significantly reduces the risk of a brain injury when falling at an angle (something pretty common on the slopes). The Duramatter outer shell is impressively ding-resistant too; great for the frequent traveller.
Waterproof, packable and powerful. It’s the perfect little speaker to bring with you whenever you need to supply the vibes. Anyone who likes to provide the energy for the session, but doesn’t want to lug a full boombox to the spot will find the Terrain Mini is the right speaker for the job.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
Weighing in at just 362g and smaller than 5inches high makes this a very convenient little speaker that still packs a powerful (85dB) punch. It’s rated to IPX7 for waterproofing meaning it can remain temporarily submerged in 1m of water for 30 mins, so it should have no trouble being plonked in the snow to get the crew hyped for a rip. It has a 14hr battery life, includes a USB-C charging cable and even comes with a nifty little wrist strap.
PRICE: £39.95 | €44.95 | $44.95 NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Hydro Flask’s 32 oz Wide Mouth with Straw
Snowboarding is thirsty work, and this bottle from Hydro Flask holds plenty of water and keeps your drink cold all day. Technically we all require water to live, so it’s a fairly safe bet that this would be great gift for anyone this year! And you can even buy different lids and accessories to make sure it’s perfect!
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The bottle stands at about 9inches tall, and that flip lid is super convenient for accessing your water with gloves on. The Tempshield Insulation will not only keep your drink cool, but help prevent it from freezing if you’re dumping the bottle in the snow while you ride. It’s got a pro-grade stainless steel lining to make sure it wont retain, or leech any flavour into your drink too. The only thing to note is that the flip-straw isn’t compatible with hot drinks, but you can always pick up a standard lid if you’re looking to bring soup with you on a cold day!
Anyone looking to start waxing their own board will love this. It has everything you need and, if you’re anything like us you’ll not only find it therapeutic to wax your board, but you might even find a new, nerdy addiction to finding the right wax for the right day!

PRICE: £125 / $108 / €145 NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Dakine Heli Pro 20L Pack:

It’s been a Whitelines staff favourite for years. Whether it’s carrying our stationary to work or all our snowboard gear to the backcountry, its got it all…. in the bag.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
A dedicated snow tool and shovel pocket ensures you have the backcountry essentials covered. On the top is a large goggle pocket that’s even fleece lined to protect against scratches. It has options to for carrying a snowboard either vertically or horizontally, while a main pocket lets you stash your layers and lunch. For safety, you’ll also find a small rescue whistle built into the sternum strap in case you find yourself lost or in trouble.
PRICE: £180 / $162 / €205 NEW FOR 25/26 SEASON: No
Why we chose the Dakine Low Roller Snowboard Bag:
Available in a range of sizes to safely accommodate all boards and with convenient wheels for transporting around an airport the low roller makes travelling a doddle.
Anyone who’s ever tried to take public transport with an over-the-shoulder snowboard bag will understand the pain of trying to swing that thing around. The low roller makes that a thing of the past. You’ll be skirting through the underground in a breeze, easily racing down the line to make that flight your definitely left the pub in time for.
Tech Talk Materials, construction and features
The main pocket of the low roller is well padded to protect your beloved snowboard, all while large enough to accommodate two boards + bindings, outerwear and your boots. You’ll even find a removable boot bag in there so that you don’t stink up outerwear on the way home with your sweaty trotters.
Oversized and sturdy wheels ensure you won’t break down in busy traffic at the check-in desk too.
