Developing amazing equipment with new, innovative, functional and technical solutions that makes life on the mountain even more exciting, that’s what we´re all about. Here’s a quick introduction to the 2012 winter collection.

Helmets and Protection
Stronger, lighter, better! We’re proud to present a new hardware collection with improved performance, as well as new colors, details and graphics. This year you’ll see the biggest improvement on our Ramblers. In addition to awesome new colors and graphics, we’ve revised the front area with a small lip. The geometry of the lip reinforces the front area making it stiffer, which provides better support for your goggles. To top it off, we’ve made an embossing for a new metal label.

The new Rambler helmet.

The Rooster LE’s have also been updated with a new TEPEX carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic shell, which together with the Trooper LE, provides the pinnacle of performance. The Rooster LE comes in either black natural carbon with black leather, or pearl silver anodized fibers with white leather. Light or dark, good or bad, it’s up to you!

Technical Clothing, Resolution Series
Resolution represents the ultimate in performance, it´s functional clothes for the roughest conditions. By combining the experience of our team with the skills of our designers, who are armed with the most advanced 3D software, choose the best materials and processes, and use the most advanced production machinery, the chances are you’ll end up with something great. Everything in the Resolution series is about performance, and
now it performs even better than before. We’ve kept what’s working, and improved some styles based on team feedback. The colors are bright and poppy to make you stand out on the mountain, and this time you’ll find some really cool combinations!

The all new 2012 Crusader Jacket.

Sweet Autonomy
The Autonomy collection is 100% governed by our team of park players. We’ve upgraded some of the styles to make them even better, and we’ve launched a bunch of new colors. Choose colors that pop, a crazy colored pant to complete your outfit, or tone it down with darker shades. There’s never been so many cool combinations.

The new Hammer Jacket.

No matter what mother nature throws at you, you’re guaranteed to stay dry and
comfortable, making any day in the park, regardless of the weather, awesome.

Valle Hermoso, Argentina, AUgust 2011.

I was super lucky to be one of the guest of Seb Michaud, famous french Freeskier.

Since 3 years, the Seb Michaud Invitacion is an event that takes place between Chile & Argentina, in the Andes.
The goal is to spend 10 days in a camp in the middle of the mountains, far from the civilization, and use our 3 sleds to shred some lines and enjoy the Pow.

Unfortunately, we have to spend some nights in some really cold temperatures ( -25°C outside, about -20°C inside ! )
As I couldn’t get a warm sleeping bag before I left France, I had to customize one.

@Dom Daher

Here is the result !

As a first layer, I was using my Nutshell Jacket.
Then, my shity sleeping bag ….
On top that, I needed my super warm Sinner Jacket.
To make sure my legs were not cold, I putted my Crusader Jacket around my legs.

Here we go, the Super Custom Sweet Protection sleeping bag is born !!!

I’ll drop you some amazing pics of the trip very soon

Keep riding the mountains for ever

Hi All !!

A quick post to tell you a bit of my trip in SOuth AMerica.
I got here a week ago, and and the snow conditions are allright.

We just a weel in Las Lenas, Argentina, who was hosting the Red Bull Powder Disorder, which is the first stop of the Freeskiing World Tour.

Unfortunately, I was victim of a judgement mistake …. that happens …

I landed one of my biggest run ever in Freeride Comps !!
360 Japan to enter the venue, then a nice mute on my second jump. I backslapped my 360 mute on the third jump. Then Reverse mute, critical on the other cliffs. I finished my run with a nice Cork 7, perfectly landed ….
Despite this run, the judges saw me crashing 2 times … maybe too much alcohol the day before ???
Whatever, they had to apologize about their mistake the day after

That’s all good to be hungry and motivated for the 2nd in Ski Arpa, CHile !!

Stay tuned, I’ll drop you some more news during the week !!

And the first downday here at Riksgränsen and it´s well needed.

Wille

Of Riksgränsen bootcamp is almost done. Started with a morning gym session and then some shred in complete whiteout. After that some nice sauna time. It started to snow a bit and hopefully some more will come…

After 25h of traveling I finally arrived in Riksgransen. Worst fucking trip my life but it feels good to be back. I’m here right now with Wille Lindberg, aka BMW and tomorrow WP crew will arrive. The conditions are not the best at the moment. Rock hard but some fresh on this will make it a hell of a lot better. It’s a good base with big potential.

Will be back with more.
Later
