To ride is to be passionate about nature.

Living this intense passion means accepting that riding conditions are not always perfect and can’t be planned.

Riding conditions can be demanding, brutal, fleeting.

NATURE WILL ALWAYS BE STRONGER THAN MAN.

You have to face nature the way it is, to pit your strength against it, and stand in front of it.

HUMBLE AND CONFIDENT AT THE SAME TIME.

You have to listen to nature, feel its strength, and immerse yourself in it. Nature is wild and unpredictable.

YOU CAN’T CHEAT NATURE.

That’s what makes it both the most demanding playground, and the most magnificent

Gore-Tex速 technology re-interpreted by Oxbow for young riders! Meeting their need for comfort and technicality, the Gore-Tex速 fabric has been rethought to be funkier (water resistant zips - contrasting with the embossed fabric) while maintaining unfailing quality. Completely breathable and waterproof thanks to the taped seams.

The Gore-Tex速 membrane is integrated into the garments between the outer and the lining layer. It allows perspiration to escape while being a perfect barrier to water and wind. Gore-Tex速 garments are durably waterproof even in the wettest conditions and during extreme use.

Perspiration can evaporate easily so that even during extreme physical exertion, humidity is not trapped inside the clothing system.

The Travel Jacket is the essential jacket for travelling riders. It has 3 light layers, is waterproof and folds right down taking up minimal space. Its other advantages? Two large safe hand pockets and two breast pockets and it can be used in combination with the sweater: the Travel Hoody. The hoody is designed with a integrated eye-mask so that a rider in transit can sleep.

With this combination, riders will have access to their travel documents without having to rummage through their bags!

Thanks to their OBS equipment, the Oxbow Bluetooth System, the Travel Jacket and the Travel Hoody enable you to stay connected non-stop to your music and your mobile phone.

TRAVEL JACKET TRAVEL hoody Jacket THUJADE Hoody TORQUIL

The Na Kama Kai t-shirt is a product especially design in tribute to the Association of the same name, created by 2010 Longboard World Champion Oxbow rider Duane Desoto.

This Association works daily with the underprivileged children of Hawaii teaching them values such as respect for one another and the environment, through the process of learning the values associated with surf culture.

100% of the selling profit will go to the Association.
