Protest Sportswear

Protest (Protest Sportswear) is a design-driven boardwear company founded in 1993 in the Netherlands by a passionate group of Dutch snowboarders. The brand was created with the ambition to design functional, stylish, and affordable sportswear for winter sports and summer water sports enthusiasts, catering to snowboarders, skiers, surfers, and outdoor adventurers.

Today, Protest Sportswear remains headquartered in Warmond, the Netherlands, under the ownership of Dekker Olifanta B.V. (operating commercially as Protest B.V.). The brand has established a prominent retail presence across Europe, including major distribution throughout the United Kingdom via outdoor apparel retailers, ski shops, and digital platforms.

Garments and accessories from Protest Sportswear are manufactured internationally across global supply chain hubs, primarily in Asia (such as China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam), with fabrics and finished items meeting strict performance and sustainability standards.
