Le Bent
SPONSOR
Born out of mateship and living in the moment. The outdoors is our muse, connecting to it and the people who play there comes naturally to us. Our founders, enjoying good lifelong friends, roamed the world in search of adventure. Discovering big mountains, times, connecting with the outdoors and their tribe. By chance their paths crossed the French Alps, drawn to a little shop by a mate performing high end boot fitting. Here the mix of big pow lines and technical knowledge led to a single minded idea, ‘let's craft the best bloody snow sock in the world’.
The moment is what we chase, comfort and performance matters. The Signature Blend of merino and bamboo rayon was developed with equal parts of experience, gut feel and science, including a helping hand from the CSIRO, Australia's peak scientific body. We stand by our Signature Blend. Once you put it on, you’ll know what we mean. The strategic blend of natural raw materials, athlete -lead design principles and immersion in outdoor moments delivers the softest, award winning performance apparel for outdoor adventure and everything in between. Crafted for the moment, designed for everywhere.
