Shaun White has been staying busy since retiring from competitive snowboarding last year. On his agenda: traveling the world with his girlfriend Nina Dobrev, and growing his athletic lifestyle brand, Whitespace. Here the five-time Olympian shares the six things he can’t live without.

His lifestyle brand Whitespace is all about functional pieces you can wear on and off the slopes. “You can wear this winter coat on the mountains, and you can wear the inner coat by itself to dinner for more of an après- ski look.”

“I used to travel with soft-sided luggage, but my things would get damaged,” White, 36, says. Not so with this hard-sided roll-on. “The inner Velcro straps really hold your stuff in place.”

The formerly long-haired Flying Tomato keeps his high and tight mane in place with this wax stick. “I really dig it: It smells good, and it lasts a long time,” he says.
“There’s so much you can do with it,” White says of this exercise ball. “All of my workouts are very core heavy, so this is definitely my go-to for daily workouts."
White’s recovery includes this compression machine. “It’s helped me through multiple knee injuries,” he says. “You get that amazing ice treatment without an ice bath.” Price available on request

During long layovers, White jams out with this compact guitar. “I’ll practice a song while I’m waiting,” he says. “It’s a great travel companion.”
