Yes. Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the right size for a Yes kids' jacket, pants, or snowboard so it fits now and allows room for growth?

  Use the Yes size chart alongside the child's actual measurements (height, chest, waist) rather than age alone, and allow a little extra room in outerwear for layering without restricting movement. For boards and bindings, follow the manufacturer's length and weight guidance and prioritize a shorter, softer board for beginners and growth-friendly adjustability in bindings and jacket cuffs.
• How does the Yes Kids' Snowboard compare to the Yes Youth Snowboard?

  The Yes Kids' Snowboard is designed specifically for younger children with a softer flex, simpler stance geometry, and kid-friendly graphics to make turning and balance easier, whereas a Yes Youth Snowboard targets older kids and often has slightly stiffer flex and more advanced shape options for progressing skills. Kids models emphasize lightweight, durable constructions and easier binding compatibility, while youth models may include performance features aimed at riders ready to ride faster or tackle park features.
• Which features in Yes kids' outerwear help keep active children dry, warm, and comfortable on the hill?

  Choose pieces with a waterproof/breathable membrane, fully taped seams, and a durable water‑repellent (DWR) finish to shed wet snow, plus stretch panels and articulated knees for unrestricted movement. Insulated versus shell options depend on climate and activity level—insulated jackets simplify warmth needs, while shells paired with layering give more versatility—and reinforced cuffs/hem guards add longevity for rough play.
• What should I inspect on Yes kids' helmets and bindings to ensure proper fit and safe use for skiing or snowboarding?

  Confirm helmets meet recognized safety standards (for example ASTM or CE benchmarks), have an adjustable fit system and a snug, level fit with the chin strap fastened, and show no cracks or loose hardware. For bindings, check that they're youth‑specific or adjustable for the child's boot sole, that release settings can be set according to the rider's weight and skill, and that mounting points and straps are in good condition to avoid pinching or unexpected release.
