Winter 25/26 Staff Gear Picks: Last Minute Goodies To Grab Before The Season Ends

The season may be beginning to wind down now, but that doesn't mean you can't head home with a big full of loot for next winter, and with the current end of season sales on, you'd be foolish not too take advantage of it. 

So we hit up our Rhythm Setsu crew to find out what fits, kits and extra bits they think are most worth taking advantage of while they are on sale, and what's been their favourite gear over the winter just gone. 

And as you can see from above, they are a preeettttyyyyyyy steezy bunch, so get your notepad ready... here's the products they think you should jump on before it's too late.

Le Bent - Midweight Crew

The Crew's Take:

"Le Bent has been a staff favourite for base layers this season and our merino wool thermals perform equally well in the Spring! At 60% off it's a no brainer."

Available at Rhythm Happo, Summit (Hak) and Rhythm Setsu: was: ¥16,500, now: ¥6,600. 

Smith - Squad Mag

The Crew's Take:

"With sunnier days mixed in with the classic Niseko cloudy conditions, Smith pro photochromic lenses mean you can ride just one lens all day without stopping to swap."

Available at Rhythm Happo, Summit (Hak) and Rhythm Setsu: Was: ¥52,800, Now: ¥36,960

Burton - Protective Gear

The Crew's Take:

"With softer, slushier snow, you can take some more risks and learn that new trick! Our Burton crash pants and knee pads will help you progress your riding on hill while staying safe! Priced low at 30% off so you don't get any bruises on your holiday."

Available at Rhythm Happo, Summit (Hak) and Rhythm Setsu: : 

Burton Impact Shorts: was ¥19,800, now ¥13,360

Burton Knee Pads: was ¥4,400, ¥3,080

Mountain Merch

Themis' Take:

"Niseko is a special place, and our unique Niseko merch will have you reminiscing about how good those turns were when you get home.. and maybe get you thinking about another trip! We've got it all priced at 30% off so you can even add a few stickers or magnets for the fridge."

Available at Rhythm Happo, Summit (Hak) and Rhythm Setsu: : was ¥10,500, now ¥7,350

Oyuki - Sencho Gore-Tex Trigger Mitten 

Themis' Take:

"Gloves or Mitts? Why not a bit of both? Our Oyuki Trigger Glove/Mitt gives you the warmth of a mitten, but the free finger functionality of a glove. At 30% you can secure a gore-tex trigger mitt at the price of many standard gloves/mitts."

Available at Rhythm Happo, Summit (Hak) and Rhythm Setsu: was ¥19,900, now ¥13,860

Did we forget to mention that you can also still pick up rental gear from Rhythm Setsu as well? Get out there and rip up some slush!
