Founded by former professional ski racer Ted Ligety and Italian engineer Carlo Salmini, SHRED was created with a simple goal: to help skiers and snowboarders push their limits with greater confidence through better protection, visibility and performance.
Today, SHRED is recognised around the world for its innovative approach to snow helmets, protective equipment and eyewear, with products developed using extensive research, testing and athlete feedback.
At Alpine Beach, our SHRED range focuses on the products the brand is best known for — snow helmets and back protectors designed to help keep you protected on the mountain.
Advanced Protection for Skiers & Snowboarders
SHRED has built its reputation around protective equipment that goes beyond traditional safety standards.
Many SHRED helmets feature technologies designed to help manage impacts more effectively while maintaining comfort and lightweight performance.
Across the range, you'll commonly find:
- Lightweight helmet construction
- Advanced impact-management technologies
- Adjustable fit systems
- Effective ventilation for temperature control
- Designs compatible with modern snow goggles
Whether you're skiing groomers, riding park or exploring off-piste terrain, SHRED helmets are designed to provide confidence without compromising comfort.
Back Protectors Designed for Freedom of Movement
SHRED is also highly regarded for its range of back protection systems, trusted by everyone from recreational riders to competitive athletes.
Unlike traditional rigid armour, modern SHRED back protectors are designed to remain flexible and comfortable while still providing high levels of impact protection.
Benefits include:
- Lightweight, low-profile designs
- Comfortable fit under jackets and outerwear
- Flexible materials that move naturally with your body
- Enhanced protection for skiing and snowboarding
For riders looking to add an extra layer of confidence on snow, a quality back protector can be an important part of their setup.
Engineered by Athletes & Experts
One thing that separates SHRED from many other protection brands is its strong connection to elite-level skiing and snowboarding.
Products are developed with input from professional athletes, engineers and mountain sports experts, ensuring that performance, comfort and protection work together as a complete system.
This athlete-driven approach has helped SHRED earn a loyal following among riders who demand more from their gear than simply meeting minimum safety requirements.
Protection You Can Trust
While style and comfort are important, SHRED's focus has always been helping riders stay protected so they can spend more time doing what they love.
Their philosophy centres around:
- Increasing rider confidence
- Supporting progression
- Improving safety on snow
- Delivering premium performance without unnecessary bulk
The result is protective gear designed to feel natural, comfortable and ready for long days in the mountains.
