Airhole is built for a life outdoors and protects adventurers from the elements with the world's best technical and fashionable face protection.
Tired of the lack of technical face protection available and facing severe weather in the backcountry, Canadian professional snowboarders Chris Brown and Kale Stephens knew there had to be a better way of dealing with a wet mask from heavy breathing and extreme conditions. Taking to Kale's grandma's old sewing machine, they re-purposed discarded outerwear jackets, cutting them into different shapes, sizes and fits to find the perfect mask. The result was the patented Airhole breath hole built into ergonomically shaped masks made from technical fabrics.
Since 2006 Airhole has continued to develop and lead the facemask industry with technical fabrics, tailored fits and the best graphics. Our mission: to defend adventurers from the elements.

Famous users of K2 skis include Seth Morrison, Doug Coombs and Glen Plake and some big names in Snowboarding too, Xavier De Le Rue and Jeremy Jones.
Their women’s specific skis aren’t just the men’s skis with a different graphic, they are designed specifically for women by the K2 Alliance, Women making kick-ass ski’s! The goal for the Alliance was to create a collection of skis designed from the ground up to specifically address the needs of female skiers of every level, type, and size.

Every single one of Nix Snowsport's Made To Measure Series skis are customised for you. Taking each skiers height, weight, ability level and skiing style and inputting it into Nix’s design software, the Bamboo core of each pair of skis are then cut and profiled to the correct shape and thickness for each skier’s requirements.

After the core is cut the ski is then moved to the layup stage where the edges are attached and additional layers of materials such as Carbon Fibre, Fibreglass, Flax or other materials as required are added to further customise the ski. Before moving to the Press the topsheet is added along with the graphics. While some graphics have been pre-prepared for each model you also have the option to customise your ski by swapping to the graphics from one of the other models or you can even opt for custom graphics.
The whole layup is then put into the press for a few hours to form the ski into its final rocker / camber profile. The result is a product that is as individual as you are, perfectly tailored to fit, giving you the confidence to ride harder, climb higher and descend further.

Each pair of skis is hand made in London. This usually takes around 3-4 weeks until delivery and may be longer during busy periods.
