Every breath-hole mask on the hill started here. In 2006, Canadian pros and Wildcats Chris Brown and Kale Stephens cut up old jackets on a grandma's sewing machine and built the first Airhole. Twenty years later, Terje Haakonsen still wears the original. At Empire, we carry Airhole because it belongs in any serious snowboard setup. As a Canadian retailer with deep roots in snowboarding, we pick our brand partners based on product quality, credibility in the snow community, and real relevance for riders. Airhole checks all three. It's a Canadian brand born from actual riding, with twenty years of mountain-proven performance behind it.
The Airhole collection is available at Empire stores across Quebec and online at thinkempire.com. If you're looking for a facemask that does exactly what it needs to do, with no shortcuts on function, you're in the right place.
