Why we chose the Airblaster Erik Leon C.O.R.E Snowboard Pants: Made with recycled plastic and pushing for a more accessible snowboard scene without compromising on the looks.

Together with Erik Leon, Airblaster’s taking a step towards a brighter future by introducing their C.O.R.E collection that includes the Erik Leon C.O.R.E snowboard pants and the Erik Leon C.O.R.E snowboard jacket. By offering affordable products in an industry that, let’s face it, isn’t exactly the cheapest, Airblaster and Erik Leon are working to make snowboarding more accessible.

Strapped to a board since he was a kid, part of the Airblaster snowboard team since he was 14 years old, Erik Leon thought it was time to give back to a community that has helped him reach the point he is at now. C.O.R.E is Erik’s way to reinvest in the snowboard community and provide products produced with sustainability in mind, and which won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

The Erik Leon C.O.R.E pants come in a waterproof rating of 10K, meaning they’ll do a good job at keeping you dry as long as you don’t go venturing out in knee-deep snow for hours on end (they’re not made for that).

When lapping the park or cruising the resort, things can sometimes get a bit warm and you might start to feel toasty on the inside. This is why you ought to make sure your snowboard pants have a high enough breathability rating to keep you cool. Ranking at a 10K breathability mark, the Erik Leon pants will do a great job at keeping things nice and dry on the inside. No, you won’t have to worry about soaking in your own bodily fluids here (they’re good, but they’re not that good).

Brands are constantly upping their game when it comes to taking on more environmental responsibility, a path Airblaster has chosen to embark upon too. In the production of the Erik Leon pants, 50% recycled content has been used – meaning Airblaster is essentially trying to dress you in second-hand plastic bottles. It may sound trashy but, trust us, Mother Nature will find you attractive AF.

The baggy fit equals zero restrictions and you won’t just find it easier to twist up them shifties. Having loads more room to move around in adds to the overall comfort of the pants. A looser fit also means you can stack up on those layers when things start to get chilly. Another plus, you’ll feel like you’re back in the golden years of snowboarding.

“Built with durability and style in mind, you’re also doing mother nature and the snowboard community a favour by putting your money on these”

Airblaster hasn’t compromised on the features either. A tiny hole has been placed on the belt loop where you can hang anything from a lift pass to keys. There’s also an Air Revert embroidery on the back pocket, adding to the pants style points.

As for the third and final pillar of the holy trinity of the Airblaster x Erik Leon C.O.R.E line, by purchasing the pants you’re also contributing to support all C.O.R.E events. Together Erik and Airblaster want to inspire people to participate in these events and build further on a community that’s given Erik, and the rest of us, so much.

Reflecting Erik’s versatile style, these pants can take on anything from steezy park laps to an occasional powder slash and gnarly street spots. Built with durability and style in mind, you’re also doing mother nature and the snowboard community a favour by putting your money on these.
