Road to ORBDAYS: Kombi’s First Time
Kombi will also be at the fair in Riva del Garda, the Canadian brand that has been distributed in Italy by Boardcore since 2024. Founded in 1961 in Montreal, the North American company specializes in creating high-quality winter clothing and accessories, with the goal of offering protection and comfort during extreme winters.
Kombi has built its reputation on products like gloves, hats, jackets, and other outdoor items, using technologies like Gore-Tex to ensure waterproofness and breathability. Today, it is a well-known brand for its innovation and functional design, always attentive to market needs with a strong presence in both North American and European markets.
The Canadian brand is also committed to social causes, with various initiatives to support humanitarian organizations. One is linked to The Salvation Army, to which Kombi donated 1,000 pairs of second-hand gloves to be sold at low prices in their second-hand stores. Another initiative supports the Just for Kids Foundation, which raises funds for medical equipment for the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Finally, Kombi is the official hat sponsor of Tremblant 24h, the largest North American ski-related fundraising event to support children’s health.
