AIRHOLE BALACLAVA COMBO POLAR Facemask heather pink

At an early stage the two Canadian pro snowboarders Chris Brown and Kale Stephens recognized the lack of technical facemasks. The offer at the time was simply not compatible with snowboarding and snowmobiling in extreme weather conditions. The first prototypes were made from leftover outerwear on Kale’s grandmothers’ sewing machine. An opening for the moist air to breathe was set early on, because physical exertion requires an optimal supply of oxygen, and a face mask that is soaked wet by breath does not provide any warmth at low temperatures. Fogged up goggles reminded everyone an improvement needed to come! In 2006, a brand was founded whose name includes the most important product feature: Airhole. The brand quickly grew into a specialist and market leader.
