Born out of mateship, the two co-founders Simon and Anthony grew up next door to each other and have a combined love of alpine sports and a wealth of experience achieved over a decade of professional ski boot fitting and ski bummery.
Le Bent originally launched to market with the first technical snow sock that successfully combined “unrivalled comfort, performance and fit.”
