About TSG

TSG changed skateboard protection forever when they started in Zurich in 1988. While other companies made clunky safety gear that sat in closets, TSG developed skateboard helmets and protective pads that combined real protection with style riders respected. Their "designed by riders for riders" philosophy attracted legends like Tony Hawk, Rune Glifberg, and Mike Vallely to the team.

From their Swiss headquarters, TSG expanded beyond skateboarding into snowboard helmets, snowboard protection, BMX, and mountain biking without losing their core identity. They sponsor snowboard pros like Eero Ettala and Iouri Podladtchikov, proving their gear works at the highest levels. Every TSG product gets developed in-house in Zurich, ensuring the functionality and design standards that made them the protection brand riders trust.
