Seb "Toots" Toutant Signature O'Neill collection available at twobarefeet.co.uk

O'Neill has always been a company that creates a bespoke product range that protects from the elements on the outside, and keeps us smiling on the inside. Whether it is Jack O'Neill crafting the first wetsuit for longer sessions in the Pacific, or the current development team that source and adapt materials to produce performance apparel. This team of young, talented and commited designers continue to follow in the footsteps laid out by Jack, driven by a love of quality and craftmanship to create that perfect snow jacket or ski suit.

One great thing O'Neill continue to accomplish is with the input of team riders who help shape and direct the product, providing valuable feedback from the frontline. One such inspiration is Sebastian Toutant, who more famously goes by Seb Toots.

Since blasting onto the scene at the 2006 Empire Shakedown at St. Saveur one hour away from his native Montreal, “Toots” has had the eyes of the global industry on him.

The young Canadian has been tearing up the snowboard scene for a few years now, but it was his triple cork backside 1440 in the spring of 2011 that brought the attention to the forefront. As only the third person to do so,  it immediately threw Toots into the spotlight and ensured his profile was raised beyond the ordinary. With such exposure comes rewards, such as catching the eye of several of the world's biggest brands and a host of sponsorship deals. Despite bursting onto the scene at a very young age (Toots was a 13 year old amateaur in 2006 when he won the Empire Shakedown) he has already competed in many of the world's most important contests and tournaments, and has become synonymous with freestyle snowboarding.

It is with little surprise therefore that O'Neill have snapped up the talents of the young Canadian ahead of any other brand. Constantly seeking out the top athletes in the field, O'Neill can boast over 60 years of experience and expertise in technical and functional outerwear. So when you have an inspirational athlete and a team of design experts to collaborate with, well, the magic is going to happen.

Step forward the O'Neill Freedom Seb Toots Premium Snow Jacket, which is available now at twobarefeet.co.uk. This high performance piece of technical outerwear has been specifically designed by the main man himself for park and pipe riding. There are plenty of unique touches for this men's winter jacket, from a snow inspired camouflage print to hoody-style draw cords make the Toots Premium a jacket that is right on trend.
