Two Seasons sale – Nike Vapen boots and DC Banshee pants

It’s that time of year already, slap bang in the middle of the season, when people are planning that end-of-season shred to get hold of some of that epic snow to have swept Europe over the past few weeks.

Nike Vapen snowboard boots - now £30 off

Nike Vapen snowboard boots - now £30 off

With sunshine days in the park with your mates, and bluebird powder days still on the cards, Valentines day seemed to be a day when my inbox was full of messages of love from around the world – snow love! For some reason that was the day when mates decided they needed my advice on snow kit… so here are some of the results catching some last minute bargains.

Women’s boots – I’ve ridden the Burton Sapphire boots for years now, and even replaced them with the same boot last year. Boots are all individual, and even though I found the 32 boots super light and comfortable, my feet moved around inside them and I needed something more snug. Burton Sapphire’s seem quite hard to get hold of, but the Nike Vapen boots are my second choice.

Not only did every single person who I crossed paths with, who tried them at the test, like them, but they look like your favourite pair of sneakers too. Plus, what’s more, they’ve got a glow-in-the-dark tick for rocking the Nike steeze whether you’re night riding or hitting up the jager bar!

DC Banshee Pants, reduced to £95

DC Banshee Pants, reduced to £95

Two Seasons have the Nike Vapen boot in berry reduced from £159 to £129.

Men’s snow pants – it’s that time of year again where everyone realises what a state their kit is in, having been battered and bruised form the dome to the hill. Plenty of buddies out there, and myself included, have realised the need for new snow pants, and Two Seasons have plenty of options in the sale.

We’re pretty stoked on the DC Banshee Pants as they not only come in loads of sweet colours, but also have plenty of tech to keep you hitting that hill for longer, particularly without overheating! Some colours are now reduced from £120 to just £95, so it’d be rude not to!

QUIKSILVER snow sale. And check out our boy Billy.

We apologise for having not posted for a week, but we got side tracked. Or snow-tracked as the case was.

30% off the Last Mission print insulated jacket

30% off the Last Mission print insulated jacket

Riding the softest dreams-are-made-of pow with Scott Penman in the far distant land of Serbia. And then the delirium of the massive journey home (and the lack of the softest dreams-are-made-of pow) meant we weren’t back in the posting mix.

But while randomly wandering around Oxford Circus today, we happened to stumble through the doors of the Quiksilver store. Once we’re got over the excitement of the fish, we came across some pretty sick items of clothing… on a pretty rad sale.

So this inspired us back into the posting mix. Plus it helps that our very own (well, UK’s very own!) Quiksilver-sponsored Billy Morgan posted a pretty sick edit from his early season training.

So Billy, this is for you and your radness!

Last mission non-insulated - now just £87

Last mission non-insulated - now just £87

Want to rock Billy’s jacket? Then you can, and it’s reduced by 30%, from £135 to just £94. It won’t guarantee you’ll land any triples, but the Last Mission print insulated jacket is a jacket that’ll take you all over the place – it’s 8k Quiktech weatherproof, plus has everything you need for maximising the shred (pockets, holders and much more).

If you’re not up for the insulation, then the Last Mission jacket also comes non-insulated for those Dome trips or for those lovely spring day. We very nearly bought the ‘fandango’ pink one today. But managed to resist, despite it’s reduction from £125 to just £87.50. And if you’re not into fluro pink then it’s in some other rad block colours too. But we’d stick to pink!

Save 30% on the Travis Rice Pro Model Gore Tex jacket

Save 30% on the Travis Rice Pro Model Gore Tex jacket

If you’d rather ride like Travis, then his pro model Gore Tex jacket is also 30% off, saving you a LOT of dollars. It was £410, but is now £287, and is possibly one of the most technically-advanced jackets out there. I mean, it has to be if you’re going to be jumping out of helicopters and heading to places the rest of us dream of.

But if you’re lucky enough to be doing that. Or just want to pretend, then save 30%!

The snowboard sales are ending – get on it! Dragon, Analog, Forum

It’s been 4 days since we got back from the snow, and I’m already having withdrawal symptoms, even though there’s only 5 days til we’re back out again.

See no evil - the Dragon APX goggles.

See no evil - the Dragon APX goggles.

It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve been trawling through websites, window shopping in time for next week. My bag’s already packed with everything I need, but the temptation to impulse buy is still high!

But either way, it’s the last week of the snowboard January sales, so there’s no better time to get involved with stocking up on the snow kit in time for your next trip. Or just for the sake of impulse buy.

We’ve just hooked ourselves up with a pair of Dragon APX goggles. It’s been on the shopping list for a while, and even when I did buy it off other sites and they didn’t seem to have them in stock, I still didn’t take it as a sign, and still bought a pair.

I’ll be taking them out to the mountains on Tuesday, but til then, all I can say is they’re awesome for walking around a Croydon flat, watching the rain outside!

Analog Asset Jacket - save £44

Analog Asset Jacket - save £44

But on a more rider-focused side of things, several mates who ride with them all say they’re immense, so I’m hoping they’re right! I’ll let you know next week. Til then, get them in the sale while you can!

On our search, we also came across the Analog Asset Snowboard Jacket, reduced from £174.95 to just £131.21 – giving you a sick saving on a sick jacket! I actually own the matching pants to this beauty, but you know from Analog that they don’t mess around with outerwear – it does exactly the job it needs to.

The Analog Asset jacket is literally an asset to your mountain days (sorry!), with its 10k waterproofing, and 2L microfibre herringbone fabric. Whether you’re layering up for those frozen days or stripping off for spring sessions, they’ve all the tech you need to keep you rocking how you roll!

Save £140 on the Forum Holy Moly

Save £140 on the Forum Holy Moly

Plus if you’re still after a board, check out the Forum Holy Moly – reduced from £439.99 to just £299.95 – knocking £140 off your price, making an amazing board an even more amazing price!

It’s a super-park board, which lets you ollie like a king, while still playful like the pawns. It’s also got a super-light core, lifted points in the nose and tail to make them as catch-free as possible, and literally steals shredders hearts around the world. Wreck yourself before you check yourself… or something like that…
