Over time, snowboarding equipment and technology have changed so much, with new developments focused on improving comfort, safety, and performance. The design of snowboarding has seen some of the biggest changes. Modern boards are lighter, more powerful, and easier to maneuver on the snow thanks to products like carbon fiber and composites. With that being said, these boards are designed for specific riding types, such as freestyle and all-mountain, so riders can select the gear that best fits the way they ride. Significant progress has also been made with bindings, with more lightweight more comfortable designs that offer better stability and control. For increased safety, some bindings even have quick-release methods too, such as “step-on” bindings.
In my experience, the best brands for snowboarding gear would be from Burton, CAPiTA, LibTech, Gilson, and Union. With my own snowboard, which I just purchased recently, I have a board from the brands CAPiTA and my bindings are from Union which are really good brands to look into for gear.
Though, when it comes to boots, they were once very stiff and heavy, but now with these new advancements, they are made with better support and are not as stiff which helps riders with conformability and tricks!
