Quick Summary
The Nidecker Escape Plus Snowboard 162W is an all-mountain freeride board with a directional shape and setback stance. It also uses a CamRock profile, carbon stringers, a stiffer build and a sintered base.
The 162W size makes this a wide board version, so the main buying checks are board length, width and whether the shape and stance setup suit your riding preference.

Choosing the Correct Version

Before You Decide
