Troian WSS is excited to be stocking Jones Snowboards this season. Jones is a brand that shouldn't need an introduction. If you have spent time on the mountain, you probably know about the brand and the iconic rider behind the name. Jones (the brand) has established a reputation for providing innovative products whilst reducing their impact on the environment.

Winter is fast approaching, and the word on the street is "we're in for a good season". Now is the perfect time to start preparing for your next winter adventure, and what could be better than kicking a season with a new snowboard. Whether you're an experienced rider or a first-timer, a new board could be just the thing to kickstart your progression and take your riding to the next level. So if you're a park rat, a powder connoisseur or a big-mountain specialist, we have a board just right for you. 

ThirtyTwo gear for this season has started to arrive, and it's looking fantastic. ThirtyTwo have been in the snowboard game for a long time, establishing a reputation for quality and innovation. With roots as a boot brand, they have expanded their line to include some great looking outerwear.

Trojan WSS is excited to be introducing you to some of Solomon's snowboards for the coming Australian winter. With humble origins in 1947 as a small wood saw and ski edges' workshop in the french alps, Salomon has grown to be a global leader in the snow sports and outdoor sector. When they started making snowboards back in 1997, they already had decades of experience creating some of the best skis, so it's no surprise that they make some excellent snowboards. To top it off, they have a great team of riders promoting the brand and inspiring the next generation of riders. This year we have a great selection of Salomon boards coming in time for winter. Read on to discover some of the gems in their lineup.

It's almost that time of the year, the weather is starting to cool down, and I can practically smell the fresh hot wax already (snowboard wax, that is). So what better time to introduce you to the range of Capita Snowboards for 2022. Capita is known for its exceptional quality and top-class graphics. But unlike many other brands, Capita has its own manufacturing facility in Austria - The CAPiTA Mothership. Whilst many brands have gone offshore to reduce manufacturing costs, Capita is still hand-crafting boards in Austria with 100% clean energy. The quality of their boards reflects this approach.

We see the return of many Capita favourites for this season, with all the refinements, tweaks, and updated graphics keeping them at the top of their game. To help you decide on your next board, we round up and discuss a few of our favourite Capita boards. But first, we will have a quick look at camber types available across the range of capita boards, as this is always a good starting point when thinking about your next board.

Often a second thought, ski and Snowboard goggles are an essential item in the snow. Alpine environments are often highly bright, windy and dry, which can be harsh on the eyes. You must cover your eyes with a high-quality lens to block harmful rays and protect your eyes/face from the elements. Thankfully, Anon specialise in snow goggles and make some of the best in the business. But with so many frame styles, lens shapes, lens tints and colourways, it can all get a little confusing. To help you decide on your next set of Anon goggles, we have rounded up some helpful information below.
The big news for this season is the new PERCEIVE lens technology. Exclusive to Anon, the new lenses offer excellent clarity/contrast and come in a tint to suit light conditions from the brightest of days to whiteouts. We discuss VLTs and categorise lens tints, making it easier for you to decide which combination of lenses suit your riding conditions. Also, we discuss frame style so you tailor the look you want this winter.

Union has turned it up with an outstanding range of bindings for 2021. This season we will see many of the Union bindings we know and love return with upgrades, enhancements and new colourways. The big news is the complete redesign of the favourite Union Atlas. The new Atlas includes Union's strongest baseplate yet, and with an enhanced ankle strap, it is sure to become a must-have binding for all the all-mountain riders out there. As Union upgrade and refine its range of bindings, you will see much of their technology filter down into their more budget-friendly options, meaning you get an excellent performing binding no matter your budget or level of riding.

With the southern hemisphere winter fast approaching, we thought now is the perfect time to let you know about some of the excellent snowboards Nitro are offering this season. Nitro has been in the business for over 30 years now, and they're a company that prides itself on doing "things a bit differently". Believing in "their people", they have built a strong reputation and continue to supply some of the best snowboards available. Their snowboards are packed with features and technology, making them the perfect choice for your next trip to the snow. Adding to this are some of our favourite graphis for the season.. To help you make sense of the lineup for 2022, we run through each board's essential features, why they matter and who will benefit.

With the southern hemisphere winter fast approaching, we thought it would be an excellent time to review some of the Vans snowboard boots for 2021. You or some you know probably own a pair of vans shoes; they have been in the business for what feels like an eternity now. Vans have also been making snowboard boots for a long time. With so much knowledge and experience, you can see why their lineup of snowboard boots for 2021 is impressive. From the clever use of traditional laces combined with BOA to durable outsoles, these are some must-have boots for your next trip to the snow.

Trojan WSS is super excited to bring you the 2022 range of Santa Cruz Snowboards ready for the 2021 snow season. Santa Cruz is regarded as a legendary brand in skateboarding, with distinct, eye-catching graphics and countless innovations that have led the way for a generation of board sports enthusiasts. Santa Cruz has been in the snowboard business since 1989, so they know a thing or two about the sport. With pioneering pros such as Chris Roach, Mike Ranquet and John Cardiel they have helped shape and direct snowboarding to where it is today. The skateboard influenced graphics make these boards pop, and they are full of technology to withstand any punishment you can dish up to them. For all the Santa Cruz snowboards we are stocking this season, we discuss each board's essential features and help you decide which snowboard is right for you.

A good fitting pair of snowboard boots can make or break your day. If your boots are too loose, you will have difficulty transferring your movements into your snowboard, making for an unresponsive and potentially dangerous ride. If your boots are too tight or not the correct shape for your foot, you're in for a long, painful day. TROJAN WSS have rounded up the 2021 Burton snowboard boots we are offering to help you avoid these mistakes. We will give you a rundown of both the Burton men's snowboard boots and women's snowboard boots we are offering for the 2021 season

Possibly the most underrated part of your snowboard set up. Snowboard bindings don't just keep you connected to your board; they allow you to direct and transfer energy into the board.
