2026 Airblaster Guide Shell

The 2026 Airblaster Men’s Guide Shell in Cocard Rust brings clean all-mountain function together with a proper hit of Brandon Cocard (@cocardi_b) flavour. Cocard is one of snowboarding’s creative lifers: a long-time pro known for street, backcountry, music, style, and making heavy riding look strangely effortless.

That makes his take on the Guide Shell feel right at home. This is a simple, technical all-mountain parka for riders who look at the whole mountain and think, “Yep, all of that.” Park laps, wind-blasted traverses, side hits, storm days, weird little gullies that may or may not go somewhere — the Guide Shell is built to point downhill and lead the charge.

Airblaster pulled functional DNA from the Beast Series and packed it into a cleaner, simpler all-mountain shell. You get 15K waterproofing, 10K breathability, fully seam taped Glacier construction, and a 2-layer shell that is ready for variable winter conditions without feeling overbuilt or fussy.

The Mid Baggy Fit gives you room to layer and move, while the 3-way adjustable hood, 2-way centre front zip, underarm vents, Lycra wrist gaiters, removable powder skirt, goggle pocket, and dual-entry hand pockets keep the mountain function dialled.

Cocard Rust, proper protection, guide-the-crew energy. Simple jacket. Deep personality.
