DC Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I look for when choosing DC Kids snowboard boots for my child?

  Pick boots that match your child’s skill level and binding system—models like the DC Phase (softer, beginner-friendly) and DC Control (more supportive) are common choices. Prioritize fit (true-to-size but consider a half-size up for thick socks), heat-moldable liners for a customized fit, and closure systems like BOA or secure laces; look for medium-to-soft flex, reinforced toe/heel, and insulation in the 200–400g range for cold conditions.
• How do DC Kids snowboard jackets and pants keep kids warm and dry?

  DC Kids outerwear typically uses polyester/nylon shells with seam-sealed construction and waterproof/breathability ratings in the ~10K–15K range to shed snow while letting moisture escape. Look for Thinsulate or fleece linings, adjustable cuffs and gaiters, and extendable hems for growth; taped seams and durable water-repellent finishes help maintain performance season after season.
• How do DC Kids skate shoes like the Court Graffiti and Revolt perform for skateboarding?

  Skate models such as the Court Graffiti and Revolt combine suede or leather uppers with reinforced toe and heel stitching to resist abrasion from grinds. Expect flexible midsoles (EVA) for boardfeel, grippy rubber outsoles for traction, and padded collars for ankle protection—features that balance durability with the flexibility kids need to learn tricks.
• How does the DC Phase compare to the DC Control snowboard boot?

  The Phase is generally aimed at beginner-to-intermediate riders with a softer flex and easier break-in, while the Control tends toward a slightly stiffer, more supportive feel for progressing kids. Both are binding-compatible and offer options like heat-moldable liners and reliable closure systems (laces or BOA), so choose Phase for playfulness and Control for added support on steeper terrain.
• What sizing tips help when buying DC Kids shoes and apparel to accommodate growth and activity?

  Use the brand’s youth size chart and measure foot length in centimeters, as most DC kids shoes run true-to-size; order a half-size up if you plan to use thick snow socks or want room to grow. For snow pants and jackets, opt for adjustable cuffs, extendable hems, and slightly roomier fits to layer insulating layers and allow unrestricted movement during activities.
