AIRHOLE FACEMASKS - THE ULTIMATE WEAPON FOR HARSH WEATHER

We’ll never tell you enough; If you want to stay active this Winter, you will need to be outside, and if you need to be outside all the time, might as well get your hands on outerwear that will keep you warm and dry at all times. For anything above the shoulders, we need something simple, stylish, comfortable and reliable. That’s why we always choose Airhole.

A bit of history,

Airhole is a Canadian company that was started in 2006 by professional snowboarders Chris Brown and Kale Stephens. The brand started as an idea that popped in Chris and Kale’s minds as they were riding pow in the backcountry and realized technical and performance driven face protection for that kind of heavy riding didn’t really exist.

After thinking about it for a while and riding in the heaviest glacier conditions with poor face protection on a regular basis, Kale got down to business and started to create prototypes with his grandma’s old sewing machine. After designing a few samples, he realized the best way to prevent condensation under your face cover is to let the air out. And this is how Airhole’s signature air hole was born!

Comfortable face protection designed for heavy breathing activities like snowboarding and extreme conditions like what you find in the backcountry. That’s what airhole is all about and let us tell you that they seriously make some of the best facemasks on the market, period.

The best thing about Airhole is that the facemasks seem to be perfectly adapted to our weather. Extreme and at some point, cold as hell! As much as the facemasks were created to endure the backcountry’s crazy conditions, they are just as effective to wait for the bus on a cold Tuesday morning in the city or even to spend the day in the yard building a fort with the kids. The brand’s mission is to protect adventurers from the elements, and if you like to play outside in the peak of our Quebec Winter, you can seriously consider yourself an adventurer.

ARE AIRHOLE FACEMASKS ALLOWED AT THE RESORT DURING COVID?

Did you know that at the peak of the 2020 pandemic last Spring, Airhole decided to redirect its production to make personal Covid-19 protection masks and developed some of the sickest ones on the market with fresh designs and a triple layer protection technology to make sure nothing gets through. If you plan to hit the mountain, slap one of these on your face or slip it under your Airhole balaklava or neckwarmer and you’ll be good to go.

All that to say that if you’re into hikes and spending time in nature where there’s not much people, Airhole is the best. If what you're into is riding at resort or hanging out anywhere else where there’s more people, they are still the best! Just remember to put a regular facemask under it and the breathing hole will still do the condensation evacuating job just fine.

WHAT MAKES AIRHOLE FACEMASKS THE BEST THING EVER

The fact that Airhole pretty much invented the technical face protection with breathing hole alone should convince you to get your hands on one of these, but if you’re still not convinced, here’s a few details that might help you see what we mean when we say owning a Airhole Facemask is a must for our Quebec Winters.

With all that in mind, the last thing you need to do is to try it for yourself. You’ll see there’s not much better than Airhole when talking about Winter face protection. Christmas is coming fast, treat yourself and/or your loved ones with a Airhole facemask! Success guaranteed!
