Designed to capture the extreme

History

Innovation and passion. These values have consistently characterized the story of Killer Loop since 1989. Technological innovation, a quest for knowledge and a desire to break new ground. Passion for boardsports.

We started out in the '80s, with our first collection of sports eyewear, and then moved on to tech wear for snowboarding – boards and boots – right up to skateboard products and streetwear clothing and footwear collections.

Today, passion and innovation have brought Killer Loop right alongside the most authentic and audacious photographers and filmmakers, working under the most difficult and extreme conditions.

Late 80s ⋅ the brand, which takes its name from the famous move by windsurfing champion Cesare Cantagalli, performed for the first time in Hawaii in 1986, creates the first collection of sports eyewear dedicated to windsurf and boardsport athletes. From a passion for sports and the great outdoors comes the brand Killer Loop. Moments before detonation.

Early 90s ⋅ Killer Loop becomes part of the Benetton Group with, in addition to eyewear, a snowboard collection. It is immediately a huge success.

Mid '90s ⋅ Mid '90s: the passion for boardsports leads Killer Loop to produce snowboards and boots, in addition to its line of clothing and the first skateboard collection. Style and performance.

2010 ⋅ Killer Loop joins the Playlife family.

Autumn/Winter 2013 ⋅ Killer Loop is back.
