Since 1992, Special Blend has been creating outerwear designed for those who ride first chair to last call. The pieces are centered around a collection tailored to fit consistently while providing a flawless match between the garment’s specific look and its on-snow rideability.
For 2012, every Special Blend jacket and pant has been tailored for a perfect fit. They teamed up with top talent from NYC’s fashion scene to create correct fit blocks for both slim fit and relaxed fit snowboard pieces. Special Blend offers up both a men’s and women’s collection but also a revolver collection designed around the season’s most distinct looks that goes beyond the mountains but rooted in the snow.
This is a sneak peak of only some of Special Blend’s collection coming out for 2011-2012. Sorry not all pieces are shown.
