Capita Outerspace Living Review

Last Updated: October 7, 2024 by Nate

Capita Outerspace Living 2024-2025 Snowboard Review

The 2025 Capita Outerspace Living received a number of changes, which have slightly changed the personality of the board. So it now fits a slightly different role.

It's still a versatile all-mountain/do-it-all board for a really reasonable price - and it's still really light-weight. But it got a little beefier, making it a better carver and a bit more stable, but taking away some of the easy-to-ride qualities of its predecessors. 

In this review, I will take a look at the Outerspace Living as an all-mountain snowboard.As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com I will give the Outerspace Living a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how it compares with other all-mountain snowboards.

    Who is the Outerspace Living Most Suited To?

    The Outerspace Living is best suited to those looking for a versatile, lightweight board that they can get for a lower price than would be typical for this type of board. 

    You want to be at least intermediate to ride it, in my opinion. Previously it was a great option for high-end beginner to low intermediate riders who were looking to progress from a more beginner friendly board, but I'd say now you'd want to be solid intermediate. 

    It's an all-rounder that can tackle many scenarios and hold its own. Not particularly strong in any one area, but at least decent in most aspects.

    *based on a sample size of 300+ models that I’ve weighed in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025 models. Light on the scales and felt really light to pick up too - but on snow it didn't feel any lighter than normal to me. 

    Changes made for 2025 model

    New size: 148

    Shape/dimension changes:  Slightly adjusted effectived edge (reduced for some sizes and increased for others), wider waist widths on most model most particularly on the shorter lengths, slightly wider tip/tails on shorter lengths but some are narrower on longer lengths, side-cuts on the wide models have very subtly changed

    Stance: Reference stance changes for some models

    Construction: The 4 x 20mm carbon aramid struts that were on the '24 model, have been removed for the '25 model, according to the catalog. 

    Powder

    In the shallow powder I had on the day, the OSL felt pretty good. And it wouldn't be terrible in deeper powder either, but also not amazing. 

    It has a small setback stance and some rocker in the tip and tail that help. The board has also been widened a little for some of the sizes for the 2025 models, which adds to the surface area - this is most notable on the shorter lengths. 

    Carving

    Decent carver and to me it felt better for carves than previous models. It felt overall a little stiffer and torsionally stiffer, which helped it to hold on to faster, lower angle carves. 

    Turning

    Ease of Turning/Slashing: That extra torsional stiffness that helps it to be an improved carver unfortunately made it more difficult to turn and slash. Not as easy as I remember previous models to be. 

    Maneuverability at slow speeds: Still nice and quick edge-to-edge, but you've just got to work a little more for it than previously. And be a little more focused on turning technique. 

    Catchiness: Also more catchy than I remember previous models. Still nothing that's ultra catchy or anything, but could feel some catchy moments in the tail at slower speeds. 

    Speed

    It feels nice and stable up to moderately fast speeds, but doesn't have a huge ceiling for speed. After a certain speed, I found that it starts to feel a bit wobbly. 

    Uneven Terrain

    Crud/Chunder: While still not a crud destroyer, the OSL did get better than it used to be. The extra rigidity here helped it to stay more stable than I remember previous models and I felt less chatter as well.

    While it may not be the dampest board going around, it has pretty impressive dampening for how light it is. 

    Trees/Bumps: It did fine in the trees and tight maneuvers in general, but it's not as effortless in those situations as I remember it. Had to work a bit more for it.

    Jumps

    Overall decent, but nothing exciting. 

    Pop: It was decently easy to access its pop but didn't have a large amount of total pop. Or at least I couldn't get a large amount out of it. 

    Approach: A little catchy for slow speed adjustments on smaller jumps, but decently stable. It's best as a pick-your-line-and-stick-to-it jumper, but on small to medium/large but not XL. 

    Landing: Pretty stable to a limit. And quite forgiving. Could feel a little catchy in the tail if you didn't land straight. 

    Side-hits: Decent, but again, for slower approaches requiring a lot of adjustments, it wasn't as good (but also not terrible) but overall fun on side-hits. 

    Small jumps/Big jumps: Medium is it's sweet spot, but can handle larger and smaller jumps fine too. For some XL would be fine, but most of us mere mortals, XLs would feel quite intimidating.  

    Switch

    Transitions weren't completely catch-free, as expected from the above notes, but not super catchy either. When riding in my unnatural direction, it felt fine really similar to the riding it in my favored direction. 

    Spins

    Lacked a little energy in pop for smaller ground spins etc and wasn't ideal for setup. If you weren't concentrating, I can see how you could catch the tail. This also meant that finishing an incomplete spin on the ground wasn't ideal, but also wasn't too bad. Not too much overspin, so you could commit to larger rotations. 

    Jibbing

    Again, I'd like more pop energy and preferably being more catch-free, but otherwise fine - and for better/more confident jibbers, you'd likely be more than fine with it. 

    Butters

    I could feel a little more stiffness to the tip/tail than I remember from previous models (which used to feel similar to my control board) but not by a lot. It locks in well and doesn't over-flex too - or at least I couldn't over-flex it.

    With what I felt as a little more overall stiffness, and particular added torsional stiffness, I felt that the OSL became a better carver and a little more solid/stable overall. But it also led to it feeling a little more dead - like it needs something more springy in there to help drive that extra stiffness.

    And this also made it a little harder to turn - not sure if some of the other tweaks also contributed to this as well. In any case, I felt like this board fit really well in the line as a perfect, versatile intermediate board. Not it's closer to the Mercury, which feels a little more redundant to the place it filled previously. 

    I hope they go back to making this board a little softer and easier going for the 2026 model. Still an all round nice board at a really good price, but not as appealing, IMO, as previous models. If you want something more like the Mercury, but for cheaper, then it's a good bet, IMO.
