Sweet Protection

What began as a creative response to a lack of high-quality equipment quickly developed into a clear vision: "Stronger. Lighter. Better." - the idea of better protecting athletes with state-of-the-art materials and innovative design.

The lightweight Supernaut series by Sweet Protection has been thoroughly tested in difficult conditions.

The helmet stands out! But in the end, it's not just the colour that impresses, but also the gadgets. You can find the details, tricks and truths in the text.

A new winter season is in the starting blocks and with it a new batch of ski films and their trailers. Here's an overview for everyone who wants to get into the winter mood! There are no clear trends for us this time. In general, there are slightly fewer trailers than in previous years, as the last season ended abruptly and many smaller film projects were probably not completed as planned. There is standard material from the major production companies.

As every year, PowderGuide is once again reporting on the new products from our partners at Ispo 2017 with a slight delay. Some of the articles have already been mentioned in the other ISPO reports, but here we will once again explicitly cover the ISPO highlights from our partners for the coming winter 2017/2018. The second part is about products from Dynafit, Icebreaker, Mammut, Marker, Salomon, Scott, Sweet Protection and Völkl. Have fun reading and find out about neon-colored skis, water-repellent wool, the new long-range Barryvöxes, heat-regulating helmets, ski touring boots with walk mode at the front and particularly light ski touring boots with walk mode at the back, a backpack with back protector and a few more efficient ski touring skis.

The Supernaut series (consisting of jacket and trousers) should meet the highest alpine demands, be extremely robust, well thought-out and durable. I have been able to test whether this is actually the case over the last thirty or so days of use.

"The Igniter Helmet from Sweet Protection makes no compromises in terms of safety or comfort". With such a product description, the expectations of a ski helmet are naturally extremely high.

The Sweet Grimnir helmet is the pro model from Terje Haakonsen. It is probably the most advanced freeride helmet on the market - only the best materials and manufacturing technologies are used. Certain helmet cameras can be attached to it without having to be glued. This also enables certification with regard to the additional forces that can be caused by a helmet camera in the event of a fall. The helmet is also equipped with MIPS technology, which reduces the rotational forces that can act on the head in the event of a fall.

The Monkeywrench combo from Sweet Protectionist is made from the finest 3-layer Gore-Tex material. It is inspired by the outfits worn by deep-sea fishermen and hunters in Norway. Every detail has been thought through and the dungarees and jacket are equipped with ample pockets. The combo is cut rather wide, but doesn't look like a "bag" at all.
