Fearless. Fast. Unstoppable. Australian Olympian Valentino Guseli has redefined what’s possible in modern snowboarding, excelling across halfpipe, slopestyle and big air with world-record performances and World Cup podiums to his name. Whether launching skyward or charging into competition, Valentino brings a rare combination of power, precision and progression to every run.

Inspired by his relentless pursuit of greatness, the XTM x VALENTINO Guseli Snow Leopard Collection embodies the spirit of its namesake: agile, fearless and always ready to strike and to chase GOATS. Designed for riders who move fast, go big and push their limits, the collection blends technical performance with bold, athlete-driven design.

The Valentino Guseli Signature Collection features a curated range of mountain essentials, including technical snow mitts, Active200 merino thermal base layers, a merino multifunction neck tube, a printed neck tube and performance snow socks. Across the range, premium technologies such as Australian merino wool, eVent® waterproofing, Thinsulate™ insulation and ergonomic snow-specific construction deliver comfort, protection and performance in demanding alpine conditions.

Valentino Snow Mitts

Engineered for wet, cold and unpredictable mountain weather, the Valentino Snow Mitts are built to perform when conditions are at their toughest. Featuring advanced eVent® waterproof technology with a 20,000mm waterproof rating and 15,000g/m² breathability, they provide exceptional protection from snow and moisture while allowing excess heat and vapour to escape. Select styles also incorporate insulating layers, ergonomic cuff construction and secure wrist leashes, creating a reliable, high-performance mitt for snowboarding and skiing adventures.

Naturally temperature regulating and moisture managing, these midweight layers help keep you comfortable through changing conditions, whether you’re riding lifts, hiking for fresh lines or layering up for cold-weather exploration. Designed for movement and performance, they work seamlessly beneath outerwear without compromising comfort.
