Wear the Experience.
You can’t be Seb Toots but you could very well dress like him. This is the jacket that he will be rocking throughout the O’Neill Experience and as he defends his gold medal status at the forthcoming X-Games later this month. Co-designed by Seb himself, the O’Neill Seb Toots Freedom Jacket features 10/10 Water column and breathability, a longer custom bomber fit with a polyester rib with DWR, adding function to fashion, and critically taped seams that will keep everything dry while looking casual. Available in four colors from the O’Neill Online shop and other affiliated retailers.

They used to make guns here
Burton Snowboards, being one of the main innovators and pioneers of snowboarding, has a rich history and heritage surrounding it as a company.

This season Burton has introduced the History Wall, a microsite showcasing their board design throughout the years. From the Backhill in ’77 all the way to the current re-introduction of the Mystery, all of Burton’s design achievements can be seen chronologically through the History Wall microsite.

Deep Bass for Deep Impacts
O’Neill has once again teamed up with Philips to offer a range of action sport specific audio products. The Bend is the newest model in the range, serving up deep, dynamic bass and a super-tough construction that is built to resist the physical demands of even the toughest action sports athletes. Featuring a low-profile design that closely follows the contours of your head, the headband is made from the same material as the toughest snow goggles for extra resilience.
 
When the headphones do get subjected to heavy impacts or a fall, the safe-release cans disengage safely rather than breaking under pressure like most other headphones. Once you’ve picked yourself up and dusted yourself off, simply snap the cans back into place on the headband and keep on charging. The Bend is available in four color styles and can be purchased though the O’Neill online shop.
