Stomping new tricks on the jumps, jibs and other features you’ll encounter this season is going to be tough. However, looking good while doing it all is easy. Simply refer to the 10 great gear options for park laps galore, below.
1. Bumper Walnuts Helmet — Shred
$100
Tom Wallisch’s signature helmet is tough, designed for multi-impacts. Shred’s Infinite RAA (Rotational Acceleration Absorption) protects against rotational impacts; unlike the market standard which allows for relative movement along two pathways, Infinite RAA protects against impacts from any direction.
2. Simplify Walnuts Goggle — Shred
$220
Tom Wallisch’s pro model goggle boasts a simple lens-swap system; a hydrophobic treatment on its vent foam that keeps moisture from fogging the lens; and super-smooth triple-layer face foam, so comfortable it’s dubbed “whipped cream.”
3. Backpro One Lite Harlaut — Slytech
$140
This Henrik Harlaut pro model features Slytech One, a foam that hardens upon impact, and an adjustable Velcro belt to ensure comfort and safety go hand in hand. Protect your spines, folks.
4. Throttle Glove — Armada
$45

It’s built to withstand Wallisch-esque terrain park assaults.
8. Fatigue 2L Jacket — Saga
$270

The tailored fit and leather trim are just two examples of additional, thoughtful design elements.
9. Fatigue 2L Pant — Saga
$190
Like its counterpart, this pant is constructed of nylon stretch fabric allowing for ease of movement and a good lookin’ tailored fit. Reinforced kick panels, articulated knees and inner-leg vents are a few of the key touching points. Beyond that, construction features match those of the jacket.
10. Tom Wallisch Pro — Line Skis
$550
We tout this Line offering as an amazing park-centric ski for any ability. A maple wood core yields stiffness for sending ‘er big and carbon inserts provide plentiful pop. Thick edges and Line’s Capwall construction (a cap build up top with sidewalls over the edge) translate to durability.
