Beyond Medals

Beyond Medals at Behind The Pines Amsterdam

Beyond Medals is snowboard outerwear with a clear point of view: technical enough for real days on snow, clean enough to wear far beyond the mountain. Built by Swedish riders Kevin Bäckström and Tor Lundström, the brand comes from snowboarding first, not marketing. At Behind The Pines Amsterdam, we value that kind of product knowledge, especially in a collection where fit, weather protection and mobility matter as much as style.

Snowboard outerwear with a street-ready edge

Beyond Medals sits in that space many riders look for but few brands get right. The pieces work on storm days, lift rides and long sessions, but they still feel easy to wear in the city. That balance makes the collection relevant for riders who want snowboard jackets, snowboard pants and layers that do not look overbuilt or overly technical.

The design language is calm and minimal. Colours stay muted, branding is restrained, and the shapes are made for movement. If you prefer snow gear that feels considered rather than loud, Beyond Medals fits that brief well.

Built for riding, not just for looks

Beyond Medals outerwear is focused on practical details that matter on snow. Think waterproof fabrics, taped seams, ventilation where heat builds up, and cuts that allow you to move naturally on the board. That is important whether you ride park, piste or sidecountry.

The collection also works well with other technical layers from our snowboard mid-layer and thermal underwear collections, especially when you need to build a reliable setup for changing conditions.

What to look for in the collection

Beyond Medals usually appeals to riders who want a balanced shell or insulated setup rather than heavy, bulky gear. Shell jackets are a strong choice if you ride often and layer according to temperature. If you run colder, look at insulated options and pair them with the right base layer.

Pants matter just as much. A good snowboard pant should sit well over boots, allow room for bending and straightening, and keep snow out when conditions get deeper. If you are comparing options, our snowboard finder can also help you match your setup to your riding style.

How to choose the right Beyond Medals piece

Start with how and where you ride. For regular resort days and variable weather, a shell jacket gives you more flexibility. For colder trips or slower riding, insulation can make more sense. Fit is also important. Beyond Medals usually leans into relaxed, wearable cuts, but you still want enough room for layers without losing shape.

If you are unsure about sizing, pay attention to sleeve length, torso coverage and how the pants sit with your boots. Snowboard clothing should move with you, not fight you. For more detail on layering, see our layering guide.

From mountain days to everyday wear

One reason Beyond Medals stands out is how naturally it moves between snow and street. The same jacket you wear on a cold morning in the Alps can work in Amsterdam when the weather turns wet and cold. That makes the collection relevant beyond the season, especially for riders who want fewer, better pieces in their wardrobe.

For travel, commuting or après days, the cleaner silhouettes also pair well with more casual layers from our streetwear and hoodies collections.

Why choose Beyond Medals at Behind The Pines?

We choose brands that make sense in real use. Beyond Medals does that through product design, fit and a clear connection to snowboarding culture. Our selection focuses on pieces that are actually useful on snow and easy to build into a full riding setup, from outerwear to layering and accessories.

If you are putting together a complete kit, you can also look at our snowboard jackets, snowboard pants, snow gloves and snowboard goggles to complete the setup.

Frequently asked questions

Is Beyond Medals true to size?

Most pieces have a relaxed snowboard fit. If you want room for layering, stay with your normal size. If you prefer a cleaner fit, check the product measurements carefully.
