TRINT THOMAS

Wears his Ribcap when in Snowboarding and Skateboarding comps, and when he is training.
A safe head is important as injuries and mistakes are common. It's the nature of the things I do that mean a Ribcap is important.

THOMAS THEURILLAT
Moutain guide, partner of bergpunkt
Born 1977
I love the countryside, the mountains, the challenge of climbing (alpine, sport-climbing, Big Wall) and the way down into the valley (basejump, freeride, paragliding). It gives me satisfaction as a mountain guide when I can pass on happiness, success and safety to my guests. However, in addition to small hand-grips and wild walls high up in the mountains, philosophizing about life over coffee and cake down in the valley, is just as important for me.
I am at home in the Alps, resident in Berne and am studying work psychology and sport science at the university there.
I wear my Ribcap(s) because a free head is the most important thing for me in many situations.
