So this summer I am going to snowflex for their week long progression camp. I own a bunch of tall t’s and shit so I’m set on that but my one problem is pants. Does anyone have any recommendations of cheap baggy sweatpants that are stylish and won’t make me sweat like hell? Should I just get one pair of good sweatpants and wear them the whole week (while still not making me sweat like hell)? Also should I get elbow pads of the sort to avoid brush burn? And finally should I wear my gloves while there too? My gloves (mittens) are light so they wouldn’t heat up too much but recommendations would help lots ❤️

totally in, and can be bought for like 10 bucks. Plus the snowflex material is abrasive so track pants should do better than sweatpants, which may rip through.


Also if you have any old shin/knee high socks, you can cut them at the ankle and the shin/calf part makes a good sleeve for your elbows/knees etc.

I’d say avoid cotton sweat pants- the sprinkler system at snowflex will get them soaked pretty quickly and then you’ll just have really heavy pants. Track pants would be good. It seems like most people do that or just regular snow pants.

You’ll definitely want gloves of some kind. The snowflex will rip up any skin you put down when you fall. I usually use pipe gloves because they’re light, but I see people wear gloves like this too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001YJHEDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.ds8CbBYZQWFC

Elbow pads are a good idea if you want to wear short sleeves and more so for protecting your skin than for impact. Some people even just cut up tube socks and slide them over their elbows.

I also think that that they might sell light gloves and elbow pads there
