How well would these work for snowboard/skiing?

They don't stay on very well. All I have to do is look down and they slide off my head. You probably want the Koss PortaPro (very comfortable, sounds better than the HD218, and they never fall off). IEMs are good also, since they'll stay in and won't interfere with a hat/helmet, but they do shut out outside noise so you might want to think twice before using them on the slopes. Hearing that scream of "Watch out, you idiot!" might actually save your life.

I am a powerlifter so only use them for deadlifts. They seem good. No sock is invincible, if you are going to constantly scrape a sock against a bar or a rope they will eventually break down. But better a $10-15 sock then your shin.

I no longer ski, but just gave them a try and have no doubt they would be great. Very comfortable too. Let me know how it goes and have fun

In Hawai`i on the island of O`ahu there are probably at least 100 hikers that use these and NOT for ice or snow. They work great on slopes w/mud or dry dirt. They also grip on wet stream rocks. Here on O`ahu we've been using them for a few years. Note the company does not say they work on anything but ice or snow, but WE KNOW BETTER.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

I bought them to wear snowboarding. They are amazingly well built maybe even for iceskating. They are, however, VERY rigid so they may be too stiff for certain movements. Keep in mind that size M would MAYBE fit a young teen.

The DIN rating on these bindings will work with skiers who are 65-240lbs and have a brake width of 75mm. They will not work with a wider waisted ski and we don't have replacement brakes.

Quite well, actually! They are pretty sturdy, so don't worry about breaking the zipfy if you get some "air". Of course, your weight, speed, height of the jump and fluffiness of the snow will determine your health after you land!

I really do not think these were designed for dancing. Dancing in ski boots....? All night...? I would consider another alternative. But if you must, secure the battery packs with duct tape. Or, bring something else to wear and change into them. If I am moving my body (feet) as in dancing, cold feet is the least of my problems.

I haven't worn mine for snowboarding, but I have noticed that they tend to slip more when worn over clothing. I would maybe suggest going a size smaller than you think you need since they do stretch out over time.

Yes - I wear these under snow boarding pants. The only time I have had it slip down was when I did not clamp it down very well. They may not be as stable as a knee pad that slips over you leg (ie, big elastic tube with a knee pad), but you can tighten these down pretty well. The only downside to the straps, is that they can rub if set too tight - the straps are approx 1/2 inch nylon and do not have any padding.

I think they would be great. Although sturdy, they are fairly lightweight, compact and easy to grip. The neck strap is very comfortable. I use mine on the ranch, but I know people who use them for bird watching, so you can zero in on your favorite player and not miss a touchdown.

If you can manage to keep them on the dog then yes they work well in snow. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to keep them on the dog to benefit from these :(

They are great for snowboarding; I had a nasty crash last winter and probably would have broken my tailbone if I wasn't wearing these. I highly recommend them for boarding!

I never tried them on a snowboard but I would Imagine they would do the job

Sorry I cannot help you. These were a gift for my grandson and he lives in another state. If I talk to him I will ask him. I haven't done any skiing for quite a few years.

I use mine for running, biking and cross country skiing with no problems. They fit well under a helmet or watch cap. I live in interior Alaska and have to keep them in a warm place before putting them on as the metal in the frame can give contact frostbite (like a burn blister) if I leave it exposed to outside temps too long and put it straight on. As long as you don't turn the volume up too loud, you should be able to hear cars or other people just fine. It will never be as safe as exercising on the road without them on, but I really enjoy having music or audio books while I exercise.
