The place for snowboard nerds to discuss...

It's not like I often have to desperately shit while riding, but as SJF said, the universe has its ways of knowing when I'm playing with fire. That evil trifecta would be too much of an invitation.
The tempting of fate would be less attributed to the anorak and moreso to the ninja suit. I'm most ...

If I were to gear up in an Airblaster Ninja suit, bibs and an anorak, there will be a 100% chance of shitting being an embarrassing disaster.

I've never liked wearing anoraks in the first place. When I switched over to bibs I hated wearing them even more.

It doesn't take much to fuck up a lightly-coloured shell. I had a 'Ballet Slipper' Freebird from a couple seasons back, and the material near the pockets stained from my leather gloves. My wife got an oil stain on her AK that won't come out. Tools, not jewels, I guess?

Does anyone else have an issue with the inside of their 3L shells staining over time? I take good care of my outerwear by washing and reapplying DWR at least once or twice a season, but can't seem to get the slight discolouration out of the interior of my Guch/Guide stuff. My well-used Freebird bibs ...

I stopped using the powder skirt when I started riding bibs. I use Volcom, but the zip tech makes things fit weird if it’s done up. Symptoms of short legs and long torso.

Haven’t been back in years, seems like it’s still the same vibe.

Why do so many people care about Torstein’s pro model? Just curious, as someone who doesn’t care at all. No disrespect meant to the dude.
