They would not slip off. You have to slide your arm into it, and then velcro two straps. I use for skateboarding but also wore under a jacked for cold weather skating and they work great in my experience.

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.

I use them for Mountain Bike and they do slip off after a while, specially if used directly over the skin. On Snowboarding they may stay in place for each downhill but you may need to reposition each time you take the lift.

I'm 5'9 and 170lbs and Large works well for me. I've seen complaints with Medium being too tight. Keep in mind I use them over my thermals and they might slightly alter position. But nothing is perfect and feel the 10secs it takes me to pull the very top back over my knee is worth the 2-3 days of knee pain. The amount you move your knees boarding will not keep ANY pads in place. So if you get a size bigger, just put them over an extra layer or over your sweats underneath your snow pants.

Yaktraxs are great they work on ice and snow. I have worn them on the drive way with out slipping at all, i am sure it the same on concrete.OF course they will wear out quicker on concrete. They are easy to put on and take off so it may be better if you take them off.

These are really good. I love mine, but they run small. No need to remove on concrete, just be careful as they might slip with nothing to grip. Works great on ice tho!!

I was in mud up to my ankles and they worked just fine for me; no slipping or sliding. Hope this helps with your question.

They worked good on the motorcycle. When your not moving they fogUp a little bit. I'd probably keep looking for actual snowboarding goggles.

My experience with the cleats has been great traction on ice and snow. I did not notice any slippage on cleared asphalt or concrete. However inside they are very slippery on hardwood and laminate floors so I recommend taking them off as soon as you enter a building.

about to find out in a couple weeks :)i don't have high hopes for them, offroad tires aren't usually that great for snow. i prefer to use actual winter tires, like my bridgestone blizzaks. i bought these Nittos as a summer set.

I've worn mine with a snowboarding helmet that had a clip in the back to keep it on. There is a silicone type grip on the inside of the band which should keep it in place for most cases so you should be fine even if it's on a smoother skateboarding style helmet.

I think you might be better off with an actual snowboarding helmet. This helmet has some padding, but not a lot. It also doesn't come down as low in the back and sides as a normal snowboarding helmet.

I would think pretty good.. I use them for snow blowing in the winter, but they fit well and don't move around. They are well made.

I have had no problems with them slipping. You might try wrapping something on the ankle under your weights to help hold them tighter.

I have a 2015 Durango limited and purchased these. I was skeptical as well, but they fit perfectly. They look great. I purchased because I had a lot of mud and snow splashback onto my running boards. I will tell you though that in heavy snow or rain, it feels a bit like the splash guards don't leave enough room between the tire and splash guard to push the snow or water out ...when travelling at a faster rate. Because of this, it does take some getting used to. I have considered removing the back guards and keeping only the front ones ( to keep running boards clean). Hope this helps

If you don't mind sinking into the snow a little it should be fine and you can buy the snap-on additions, which are really hard to get on and off, and they seem to help. I think so much depends on the conditions you will be trekking in ... really light powder these are not the best choice but in the north east where the snow is often deep but heavier and sometimes crusty these are awesome and any kind of hard-pak or ice these are the absolute best ... I absolutely love mine! Have fun -

I don't know if you can carry snow boards from experience. I would say that if you can ties a snowboard to a standard bar rack than you can tie it to this rack. A snowboard is way under the maximum weight. A snowboard doesn't catch much wind. I don't see why it wouldn't work.The cost is low enough that it can't be much of a mistake if it doesn't work the way you hoped.

My son longboards but I don't know that he ever tried that. He is at work right now I will check with him later today. Your only problem might be thickness of board and if the board lays absolutely flat. When you lock in the snow board the part that closes around the board and locks it in does not have a lot of give. So if those boards are thick or have any kind of angle to them the lock might not be able to close properly. Just a thought.

I can't relate to skis, however I snowboard and they are very reliable pads. You should be just fine wearing them.
