The most important thing on a snowboard is style. That might not win you an X Games gold medal, but it’s surely to win the hearts of the fans watching at home.
Of course, it’s important to have a number of tricks dialed in, but almost any snowboarder can agree, what you wear while on your snowboard is pretty important too.
The X Games no longer require participants to wear bibs on the slopes, and that means the riders can showcase style the exact way the want to. Here are the 10 riders with the best kits at Aspen in 2025.
10. Grace Warner
Baggy pants and an Analog hoodie. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. (Slide 3 on the post embedded above)
9. Mia Brookes
Big air Mia Brookes was good, but slopestyle Mia Brookes was elite. There’s not a long list of riders who can pull off a puffy jacket on the slopes, and coupled with some of the baggiest pants around, Brookes’ Oakley fit left it all on the slopes.
8. LJ Henriquez
Bringing the Burton x Run DMC collaboration out from the closet? Ya Tú Sabes. The pride of New Jersey (and an accomplished baseball player, as we learned in the broadcast) was one of the younger competitors during these X Games. Everyone knows that kids set the fashion trends going forward, but Henriquez paid respects to tri-state royalty in his big moment.
7. Benny Milam
There’s no better way to pay homage to your home than wearing the uniform of the people. Minnesota’s Benny Milam won a bronze medal in street style looking like an electrician from St. Cloud in a pair of khaki pants and not one, but two t-shirts. Don’t sleep on his baseball themed Crab Grab mittens.
6. Kokomo Murase
GQ has dubbed flannel as back in. Everyone from Devin Booker to Matty Matheson to Johnny Knoxville has been seen in it lately. Kokomo got the message: she rocked just a flannel in the knuckle huck contest, won it, and she wasn’t even cold.
5. Rocco Jamieson
I didn’t think I would see Goon Gear repped in the X Games this year, but boy, am I glad I was wrong. Jamieson rocked the BS Rabbit x Goon Gear cargo pants with a subtle BS Rabbit jacket that doubled as a sail to help control the wind during his bloody Dracula during big air. Then just a short while after, the Kiwi threw on a Drink Sexy jacket for the knuckle huck, donning an all-black fit.
4. Iris Pham
It can be tough to appease sponsors while dressing appropriately for your contest. Pham took full advantage of The North Face’s second biggest strength, which is streetwear. An all black kit matched rather nicely with her brand new Rockstar Energy-branded helmet. The leather mittens and purple pro model Fix bindings are the color pops we needed.
3. Nate Haust
Whoever said that you lose a sense of style when you hit your 30s has never met Nate Haust. Matching lavender pants and lavender mittens was key. Tossing a black jacket over that gave his wardrobe a “business on the top, party on the bottom” kind of vibe.
2. Zeb Powell
The black and red boots. The black Analog pants. The black, white and grey Michael Jordan sweater. The silver chain.
Come on now.
Zeb’s riding could make almost any fit look stylish, but a kit that rivals something an NBA player might walk down the pregame tunnel in makes it all that more impressive.
1. Egan Wint
Craig McMorris called it the Hot Topic starter pack, and he might be right. Every single piece of this fit is phenomenal: The leopard print fleece jacket. The helmet with neon green dinosaur spikes. The t-shirt that reads “product of people who crossed the border.” The oversized Oakley eye jacket sunglasses, and the Crab Grab skeleton gloves. Nothing quite matches, and yet somehow when put together, it matches perfectly.
Honorable mentions: Miyabi Onitsuka, Pat Fava, Rene Rinnekangas, Halldor Helgason, Annika Morgan, Maddie Mastro.
