Gear Guide: A Breakdown of Danny Davis’s Snowboard Kit
Pro snowboarder Danny Davis continues to be in the spotlight with his consistent domination of the halfpipe, recent expanded deal with longtime sponsor Burton, and his collaboration with Mountain Dew and Burton on the Peace Park. What makes Danny so rad is his unique style on his runs and on his person while riding. We wanted to know what gear Danny is rocking this winter, so we got the rundown on his snowboard kit for the season.
Burton Easy Livin Snowboard
This winter, Danny is riding Burton’s 2015 Easy Livin board. The base of his board features a Martin Guitar graphic, as Danny is now an ambassador with the company. This one-of-a-kind graphic was designed specifically for him since he is an avid guitar player, which combines his love of music and snowboarding.
Burton Malavita Bindings
Danny’s go-to bindings are Burton’s Malavita, which are focused on freestyle riding and will provide his boots with full wrap response and mid-range flex, allowing him to get as creative as he wants to be. With their hi-back design, Danny is able to crank up his forward lean in the Malavita bindings to hit the halfpipe with quicker control.
Burton Frontier Jacket
While on the mountain, Danny needs a proper jacket to keep him warm and dry, and it doesn’t hurt if it’s eco-friendly, too. His Burton Frontier jacket from the brand's Winter 2015 line features 3M Thinsulate for warmth and DRYRIDE Durashell 2L ripstop fabric, which is a result of the Green Mountain Process that turns plastic bottles into pellets that are then spun into yarns and woven into a textile that’s perfect for snowboarding.
Burton Ion Leather Boots
To keep his feet nice and comfortable, Danny wears Burton’s Ion Leather snowboard boots. The Ion Leather boot provides long-lasting comfort thanks to its Infinite Ride sock liner, and its Rebounce cushioning reduces impact and reflects your body heat, keeping those toes toasty. The boots also feature Pirelli-rubber treads, so there will be no slipping around on the snow and ice.
Mountain Dew Beanie
They say that you can lose a lot of body heat without a hat keeping your head warm, so a proper beanie is mandatory on the mountain. Danny reps his sponsor Mountain Dew with his bright orange branded beanie.
Burton Work Horse Leather Mitts
Danny keeps his digits warm with Burton’s Work Horse Leather Mitts. Featuring a classic workwear leather style and a lining made with quick-drying fleece, these mitts are guaranteed to keep frostbite out and warmth in.
Dragon NFX Goggles
Dragon NFX goggles keep Danny’s vision clear while hitting the slopes. With an anti-fog lens and four-layer slant cut sweat absorption foam, there’s nothing blurring his sight. The goggles also be sport Danny’s signature strap, bringing his own personal style to the hill.
Accessory
For Danny, the most essential accessory is his iPhone, not for making calls, but for playing tunes. Music is always a must when riding.
Playlist
As mentioned previously, Danny loves music, so you know he’s rocking some headphones while he rides What’s on his playlist? Anything from classic rock to contemporary bluegrass and folk. It makes for one groovy ride.
