Airblaster
Probably the most authentic snowboard outerwear brand is based in Portland, Oregon, and has a pterodactyl mascot named "Terry". The well-known logo is not - as is often assumed - a cyclops with a tongue, but a flying spaceship with a window and drive jet. Airblaster has been lovingly run by the brand's founders since 2002 and is considered a driving force and opinion leader in the industry. In addition to various outerwear series, Airblaster produces a wide variety of accessories, beanies, goggles ... and of course the best long functional underwear in the world: the Ninja Suit! In addition to all the seriousness that an international company demands of the operators, one credo always stands out at Airblaster: FUN! Because that's what snowboarding is all about, and Airblaster will make sure to remind us of that year after year!
