Who We Are

OUR STORY

Whatever Man Lifestyle was born from an unforgettable experience on a trip to North America. More specifically, in the famous resort of Whistler, Canada. During our stay there, long-lasting friendships were formed and memories of exciting adventures were made. Snowboarding, skiing, travelling, parties and much more shaped our time there and laid the foundation for the Whatever Man - Lifestyle we want to share with you every day.

Live it. Wear it. Share it.

SUSTAINABILITY

Organic cotton: The materials used are produced sustainably and wherever possible, organic materials are used. Organic cotton requires no harmful chemicals in production and needs less water to grow. Small creatures have more living space, which in turn improves the quality of the soil where the cotton is grown. The materials used correspond to level 3 of the SteP certification by OEKO-Tex.

We make sure to carefully decide what designs fit to our lifestyle and represent our community. We cultivate the closeness to our communities, so that the Whatever Man lifestyle can be passed on to the next circle of friends, and on to the next, and the next.

What does Whatever Man mean to you? Friends, nature, adventure. It’s a lifestyle — you’ve just gotta live it, wear it, share it. It’s about approaching life with curiosity and having an open heart and soul for whatever opportunities come your way. Whatever Man is a chosen family. A community full of kindness, open to everyone. For me, it’s a world that brings you back to the roots of life — what really matters. Living in the moment and making memories. Good vibes only.
Your Whatever Man go-to? And/or favourite Whatever Man adventure? Clothing: men’s hoodies — ’cause oversized is king. And if I could, I’d permanently live in my baselayer combo. Hands down the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn. Adventure: any day in the mountains and any night at the bar with my crew.
Secret talent / hidden skill: Not believing the hype. And I recently found out I can do the splits in snow pants?
One thing that always makes you smile: Snow.
Your ride: Snowboard.
Where do you feel most alive? Laughing till I cry and my stomach hurts with friends and family. It’s not about the place — it’s the people.
The last thing you geeked out about: Positive psychology.
Your soundtrack: You’re asking me an impossible question…

What does Whatever Man mean to you? Whatever Man is a community where it’s literally never boring. Refreshing, full of joy and energy. People who truly live their passion for what they do every day.
Your Whatever Man go-to? Lyocell long sleeves when I’m out and about. And the Waffle Crew Neck, because somehow you’re never too warm and never too cold in it ;)
Secret talent / hidden skill? I can hold a pretzel stick sideways in my mouth. Don’t ask, just skills.
One thing that always makes you smile: Sunrises and sunsets. Whether in the mountains or by the sea.

Where do you feel most alive? Where plans don’t matter that much: with people I love, on small or big trips with a van or a backpack, by the sea or in the mountains.
What did you last get excited / geek out about? That moment when I realise all doors are open and I’m free to shape my life the way I want. That feeling of freedom makes me incredibly happy — and I know it’s a privilege.

What does Whatever Man mean to you? For me, Whatever Man stands for freedom, adventure, and those small moments that end up becoming the best memories. Whether up in the mountains, on a bike, in the snow, or simply hanging out with good friends—the best stories usually happen when you just head out and see where the day takes you.

Your Whatever Man must-have item? Definitely a hoodie. Whether on the way to the next adventure, after a long day outdoors, or watching the sunset in the mountains—it’s an absolute essential.
Your best Whatever Man adventure? The best adventures can’t be planned. They often start with a spontaneous idea and end with a day full of moments you’ll be talking about for a long time. That’s exactly what the Whatever Man lifestyle is all about for me.
Secret talent / hidden skill? Most people would describe me as a quiet and relaxed guy. But put me together with good friends, a bike trail, fresh powder, or a new challenge, and I really come alive. That’s when the side of me that loves adventure, seeks adrenaline, and is always ready for the next experience comes out.
One thing that always puts a smile on your face? Fresh powder snow, perfect riding conditions, or a text that reads: "Hesch Ziit?" (Got time?)
Your ride? Skis, touring skis, mountain bike, road bike, glider, and powered aircraft. As long as I'm moving.
Where do you feel most alive? Early in the morning on a ski tour, standing on a secluded mountain peak, or flying above the Alps looking down at our beautiful Switzerland.
The last thing you geeked out over? Weather apps. The forecast dictates whether I'm heading up the mountain, onto the bike, or up into the air.
Most beautiful place you’ve ever been? Anywhere adventure meets great people. The Swiss Alps are right at the top of my list, but Canada, the USA, and especially Japan with its unique powder have a special place in my heart, too.
Your soundtrack? Just as versatile as my free time. Sometimes relaxed, sometimes full of energy, but always fitting for the next adventure.
