As a brand owned by a rider himself, sandbox is committed to creating helmets that riders truly want to wear, offering industry-leading protection. Pursuing both style and safety, they propose designs that evolve head protection from a "nuisance" to an "essential accessory."

BRAND features
Around 2007, when wearing helmets became mandatory in the parks of Whistler and Blackcomb in Canada, Kevin Sansaro and his fellow riders developed the helmet brand "SANDBOX" with the aim of creating a helmet that was functional yet stylish, allowing riders to enjoy their performance to the fullest in the park
SANDBOX wanted to combine "style" and "safety" and elevate the concept of helmets from something that is a nuisance to something that is a necessity. At the time, the brim-style design that reflected Kevin and his team's commitment was very fresh and became a symbol of SANDBOX. Today, it is the most popular helmet with a brim, and has become a snowboard helmet recognized worldwide
