Our mountains here in Britain may not be the Matterhorn, but at least we’ve got some, unlike the poor folk of Holland. Still, that hasn’t stopped Dutch brand Protest from making a name for itself in the shred community. Its output has traditionally been about bright one-colour pieces like those seen here, but there’s plenty of pattered stuff in the line too. Some of their gear, such as the Denys pant pictured below, has lower waterproofing specs so isn’t suited to extreme conditions, but is ideal for the novice who wants something cheap to get going with at their local dome. Protest even calls itself “a leader in basics”, a claim that it more than lives up to.
