The Good Ride Take

Our first impression is that these pants look so simple!  They have a good color combination and cool material but something makes them look so sleek and quiet.  The colors are a little different than they look in the pictures.  The canteen color looks sandy but in actuality is is more of a dark brown.  All we can say is fit and function blend well with the Alki.  Everything about these pants is well made and built to last a few 100 day seasons.

These pants can zip into another pair of compatible Ride pants but you are S.O.L. if you ow a Non-Ride Jacket.  They have fleece in the butt and a smooth silky feel on the front.   These pants aren't the epetomy of warmth but are perfect for layering .  The waterproofing is very good with a 2Layer 20K and the 15k breathability isn't bad either.  This will handle most wet days the mountains throw at you.  Overall this is just what you expect from Ride.  Good waterproofing and reliability. 

The Good Ride Take on Ride Snowboards
They are from the same parent company as K2 and have many similarities in terms of board design and company policy.  Ride’s customer service is better than K2’s and actually has a # to call on their site instead of just an on-line form.  Ride, like K2 seems almost secretive when it comes to having third party entities like us or end users like you review their gear.  So many companies like Burton, Rome, YES, Arbor ect. are really proud of their gear and try to do everything they can to get you to ride them.  Ride seems to do the bare minimum and despite its large size has very few demo products. Their policy seems to be if you want to try it you have to buy it.  Ride chooses mainly to work with variations of flat/rocker snowboards but has recently started to work with hybrid camber.   Their hybrid camber is different than YES and Rossignol and leans more on the flat camber side of things but we still like to see them go in this direction.  We have found that we like some of their shapes but other boards we weren’t fans of .   Like K2 Ride’s rocker shapes always seem to be pretty flat between the feet and it makes for one of the better rocker set up out there.  Ride makes pretty good bindings and many people swear by them.  They have more parts than most bindings but all in all they do a very good job despite the fact that a lot of the binding is metal.  We are big fans of the canted foot bed but can’t say we are a fan of their Contraband strap system.  They make good boots that last for a long time but boots are so personal all we can speak to is their build and longevity.
