Protest Sportswear apparel

Protest Sportswear is a Dutch brand founded in 1993 with a specific focus on functional and fashionable apparel for boarders. Originally established by a group of snowboarders from the Netherlands, the brand was created to make high-performance technical gear accessible and stylish for those who love snowboarding, surfing, and outdoor lifestyles. The brand's philosophy centers on the idea that the world is a better place when we are out there riding, regardless of skill level.

While the brand's design and conceptual headquarters remain in the Netherlands, manufacturing is conducted across a global supply chain to maintain a balance between technical innovation and affordability. The manufacturing typically takes place in various countries across Europe and Asia, adhering to international labor and quality standards.

Ownership of Protest Sportswear remains rooted in the Netherlands through Dekkers Garments B.V. The brand has grown from a niche snowboarding label into a comprehensive international lifestyle brand, distributing its products through a vast network of retailers and dedicated brand stores across Europe and beyond. The company continues to focus on sustainable practices and high-quality technical fabrics to support its core mission of helping people enjoy the 'ride'.
