OUTERWEAR

[g3greg]

It’s like you know me

Which Longo? Love the green pro shell but I have his boots and board this year I can’t go all in! Makes me feel like an Elvis impersonator

might sell my Sasquatch kit, Beast 3l & Boss pants, both XXL

don’t really want to, but i picked up both a Volcom L & Longo kit that both fit much better.

the pants did have a small blowout below the zipper that i resewed/patched over, and jacket has some decorative patches i’d remove.

Longo Gore from last season. i call it my ski patrol kit

i’ve actually got the “standard” Arthur pants in off-white, too, which I’ll pair with the SHE fleece occasionally.

if you’re not channeling Longo in gear or style somehow, are you really a mid-30’s snowboarder?

Dude what is it with Swedes and cheap fast fashion?

If Montec/Dope wasn't bad enough, H&M is apparently getting into the outerwear game. Saw it pop up on SnowBrain's IG and actually thought it was a joke until I clicked through the link.

They're claiming 24k waterproofing / 15k breathability on a $200 retail jacket currently selling for $140.

No world in which this is a good thing for core industry or the environment.

Fucking lame all the way around

As far as I know, this is just high fashion at the moment. They wear these clothes when hanging on the corner or buying groceries. It will fade..

not gonna lie, the cut and style of that H&M 3L jacket looks pretty good

I suppose if any company has an excuse to make cheap affordable winter ski gear, it'd be a nordic one?

I'm most disappointed in SnowBrains. They seem like a pretty legit backcountry-focused resource.

Anything for those ad clicks and $....

iirc snowbrains was started by a guy that ran Unofficial Networks and was ousted when they sold out or something.

Anyone else remember when unofficial networks was a little site where old heads and pow hunters would post the actual 'unofficial' snowfall totals at hills?

Man the comment sections would get spicy. Legit avy experts some of them.

i swore off H&M a long time ago for. regular clothes when I realized how flimsy everything was.
yeah, you can but they’re chino’s at 1/3 of the price, but you’ll end buying another 3 pairs every year when the fall apart.

wouldn’t expect their outerwear to be any better.

H&M is one of the few places my wife and I will pay for baby clothes when we need to supplement gaps from our hand-me-downs. Kids grow so quick it doesn't make sense to invest in nice stuff.

Adults on the other hand should not buy this garbage. It's terrible.
