Airblaster
Airblaster at Behind The Pines Amsterdam
Airblaster at Behind The Pines Amsterdam brings together snowboard outerwear, base layers and accessories with a clear focus on comfort, weather protection and movement. The collection is built for days on the hill, but it also works well for cold, wet city conditions and travel. If you are comparing snowboard jackets, pants, bibs or layering pieces, Airblaster fits naturally within our snow collection and offers a practical mix of function and character.
Airblaster is known for technical snowwear that stays readable. Waterproof shells, breathable fabrics, taped seams, venting and easy-to-use fits are the core of the range. That makes the brand a solid choice for riders who want dependable performance without overcomplicated details. You will find pieces that work well for resort laps, sidecountry days and winter trips where conditions can change fast. For riders building a full setup, it pairs well with snowboard jackets, snowboard pants and snowboard mid layers.
What Airblaster is made for
Airblaster gear is designed for snowboarders who want outerwear that handles snow, wind and moisture without feeling stiff or overly technical. The fits are generally built for layering and mobility, which matters when you are riding, hiking or spending long days outside. The brand also covers the basics well, from outer layers to thermal pieces that help regulate temperature when conditions shift.
Shells, insulation and layering
For most riders, the right Airblaster piece depends on how you ride and how much insulation you want to carry. Shell jackets and pants suit active riders who generate heat and prefer to manage warmth with layers underneath. Insulated pieces are better if you run cold, ride lifts in lower temperatures or want fewer layers in your kit. If you are building from the base up, our layering guide is a useful place to start.
Technical details that matter
Look for waterproof and breathable construction, durable water repellent finishes, seam sealing and ventilation zips. These are the features that make a difference once the weather turns wet or warm on the mountain. In base layers, quick-drying fabrics and low-bulk construction help keep moisture under control. If you are comparing waterproof materials more broadly, our Gore-Tex guide explains the basics clearly, even if you are not buying Gore-Tex specifically.
How to choose the right Airblaster piece
Start with your riding conditions. For storm days and variable weather, a shell with good breathability gives you more flexibility. For colder resort riding, insulated outerwear can be more straightforward. Fit is also important. A little extra room makes layering easier, but too much volume can feel bulky on the bike or under a backpack. If you need help comparing cuts and sizing, our snowboard size guide and boot fitting guide are useful references when building a complete setup.
Useful beyond the mountain
Airblaster works well for winter travel, commuting and everyday wear in Amsterdam. Breathable shells and lightweight layers are handy on wet bike rides, while softer mid layers and base layers are easy to wear under casual outerwear. For colder months, the collection sits comfortably alongside thermal underwear, snow gloves and beanies.
Why choose Airblaster at Behind The Pines?
We select snow gear based on use, not just looks. Airblaster earns its place because the construction is practical, the fits make sense and the range covers the pieces riders actually use. Our team knows how these garments perform in layered systems, which matters when you are deciding between a shell, an insulated jacket or a base layer for changing conditions. If you want to compare the wider snow category, our snowboards explained guide and maintenance guide can help with the rest of your kit.
