eVent Fabrics Partners with WHITESPACE for High-Performance Snowboard Apparel
eVent Fabrics has partnered with premium snowboard apparel brand WHITESPACE to supply its PFAS-free alpineST laminate for the brand’s Performance 3L Pant, strengthening collaboration in high-performance outerwear.
eVent® Fabrics has announced a partnership with WHITESPACE, the snowboard and apparel brand co-founded by Shaun White and Jesse White. Under this collaboration, WHITESPACE has selected eVent’s PFAS-free alpineST 3-layer laminate for its top-tier Performance 3L Pant.
WHITESPACE is positioned around precision design, comfort, and visual simplicity, with a focus on technical performance. The adoption of alpineST reflects the brand’s emphasis on materials developed for demanding mountain conditions.
“Our alpineST laminate is designed to provide performance and comfort in some of the most extreme on-mountain conditions,” said Chad Kelly, Vice President of eVent Fabrics. “Our partnership with WHITESPACE will give snowboarders an incredible option for durable weather protection and, like the rest of eVent’s offering, alpineST is PFAS-free, making it the perfect option for brands catering to uncompromising mountain athletes.”
Within eVent’s material portfolio, alpineST is engineered for long-term waterproof breathability and resistance to harsh weather exposure. The laminate is designed to maintain performance levels across repeated use and washing cycles, making it suitable for high-intensity alpine and winter sports applications.
“When we looked to source materials for our Performance 3L Pant, eVent became the only choice that made sense for us,” said Jesse White, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer for WHITESPACE. “Not only does alpineST provide the performance we demand, but like WHITESPACE, eVent is a forward-looking company, making products that help reduce environmental impact by forgoing PFAS chemicals and incorporating recycled materials.”
The Performance 3L Pant integrates the alpineST laminate with fully taped seams to support waterproofing and breathability. The garment features articulated construction, four-way stretch gaiters, expandable cargo storage, and thermal media pockets designed for functional use in alpine environments. It is finished with a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) treatment and includes recycled material content.
Through this material partnership, both companies aim to address performance requirements while aligning with growing industry focus on chemical reduction and responsible material sourcing in technical sportswear.
