From One Cold Day to a Global Brand
Back in 2006, snowboarder Abe Shehadeh spent a freezing, soggy day on Mount Bachelor and realized his face mask wasn’t pulling its weight. It didn’t work with the rest of his gear, and it definitely didn’t keep him dry. That frustrating moment turned into a lightbulb idea: make something better. What started as hand-sewn ski masks stitched together in a spare bedroom has grown into BlackStrap, a go-to brand known for reliable layers trusted by athletes, weekend riders, and families around the world.
Whether it’s deep-winter storm days or sunny summer paddle sessions, BlackStrap gear is all about helping you stay out longer, stay comfortable, and enjoy every adventure with the protection you need, especially if you’re picking up layers at our snowboard shop or upgrading your kit with ski equipment for the season.

BlackStrap sports gear is made to hold up—think durable fabrics, reinforced stitching, and designs that have been tested out in real conditions. Everything from layers to don under your ski apparel to ski gloves is shaped to move with your body, with ergonomic cuts and smooth seams that keep things comfortable all day long. By using high-quality, proven materials and constantly pushing for smarter design, BlackStrap creates apparel you can rely on when performance actually counts.
