So like 50% of kids at the hills I've been to are riding DOPE outerwear. I don't know if I'm even exaggerating. It's A LOT of what I'm seeing. Girls and Boys. Plus... tons of DOPE stickers on boards and helmets. If you don't have DOPE gear, you're a freakin' bum to these kids.

Haven't seen anything like it since Neff.

Dope is for smoking, not wearing.

But yes, I see a lot of that shit as well.

Unsurprising. I just don't recall seeing them on IG, but Montec is constantly on Facebook, as little time as I really spend there.

Two days ago, saw an entire family decked out in nearly matching dope gear.

"Dad, why am I all wet?"

"I don't know, but at least you're dope."

Seen both on IG a lot. But glad I'm seeing BEYOND MEDALS outerwear more in the ads, instead.

Probably same ownership since Kevin was sponsored by Dope before.

Since Dope/Montec is a Swedish brand, Dope is huge here.. I admin a buy and sell group on FB. A guess Is half of the outerwear being sold is Dope. I don't mind it but wouldn't wear it since i'm old, fat and sweat a lot plus a snobb so only gore pro for me

Oh shette. I just punched up the montec website and it looks like near identical gear as dope with different branding. Had no idea, but I've never looked at either. I don't hate any of it but...I know some of y'all like that anorak ish, but man do I not 'get it'. I suppose that's why kids like it. Cuz granpa aint wearing it. Yet.

Little product reaction...I got a medium and large L1 Huron bib on hand. 22-23 version, so the leg is a bit more shaped/articulated than the current model. Similar shape to the Volcom articulated pant I've been running for a few years, but not nearly as drastic taper in and out of the knee.

At 5' 9.5", 155lb My initial size reaction stands true to the jacket; medium runs on the small side, most notably in width at the hips and torso. The length is good, but even with my lightest layers, any bending feels pretty restricted, and its a 4-way stretch. Maybe the dimensions just don't work right for my shape, I've historically liked outwear on the slimmer side, in a "true to size" medium.

Leaning toward keeping them in the large. The fabric is super comfortable, slate color is solid in person, and the slimmer cut sized up actually makes a nice silhouette IMO.

Yep, everywhere out here. I guess being all over social media and paying YouTube 'influencers" to pitch it is a winning recipe.

Yeah one size up in slimmer fitting stuff is the way to go IMO. Plus the jackets are usually a bit longer. I don't get this boxy short fit shit.
