What to wear under snowboard jacket?
I recently bought a winter jacket made by DC, the material is very water resistant but there isn’t much insulation, nor much room to layer underneath. What would you recommend to wear under the jacket to keep warm, I think a hoddie would be too big, and limit moving room.
Also, are jeans or sweats the best way to go under thin snowboard pants? I’m new to the mountain and need to know! Thanks!
Any other (useful) tips about snowboarding are welcome!
Wear a light long sleeve shirt or light sweater under. You don’t want to wear anything heavy because although its cold out you’ll still get hot from using so much energy to snowboard down the mountain. Jeans are horrible to wear under snowboard pants. Normal sweatpants work okay, but I’ve come to find that spandex pants or yoga pants work the best and are the most comfortable.

you should buy another jacket or the same on in a larger size. if there isnt enough room to layer underneath you bought it to small.

I have been snowboarding for a long time and I go up to the mountain a lot. I suggest that you wear first layer. It keeps you really warm and is designed to keep the heat in. It is also really thin and comes in pants and shirts. You may want to try looking online at Burton.com they have a wide selection of apparel that can be worn underneath your coat and snowpants.
