Sweet Protection is a skiing protective equipment company from Trysil, Norway and has been changing the way people protect themselves since 1988. Truth be told, the roots of this company originate from the skate arena. The founders of Sweet Protection answered an inner calling, requiring them to advance equipment technology in the sport of skateboarding as Bushmade Skateboards.

Illegal at the time, skateboarding in 1986 was the single place in the world where it was prohibited by law nationally. Naturally, in boundary-breaking pioneer style, the founders took influences from smuggled American Western skate publications.

As the years would go on, the projects would add up, and the founders would develop clothing, packs and other outdoors gear they needed. Producing their own equipment allowed them to innovate and exact their independent standards depending on their needs or activity.

In 1997 the company known as Sweet Protection would begin to bud. One of the founders completely changed the game by developing a Kevlar kayak for freestyle kayaking. From here there would come a carbon fiber helmet used for global stage competition.

What we know as Sweet Protection would be born in 2000. Three years later the company would reach industry acclaim by winning the Brand New Award for the best newcomer in ISPO.

Today, this brand is a globally recognized name in the ski industry with equipment designed and used by top professionals and everyday people alike to go further and harder.
