OUTERWEAR

Saw this on Instagram, seems the Volcom x Baldface collab has come to and end.

Now it's Northface again. Never tried Northface snowboard outerwear so can't say anything positive/negative about it.

New T Rice kit has magne traction on the knees and elbows. It worked on the Orca I guess. Bro is taking his sea fetish too far, looks like a crayfish outfit.

That's a shame, because without the gills it's actually a good looking kit.

Man, what's happening with Volcom? Supposedly dropping huge riders next season, dropping their Baldface collab, etc. Something tells me Authentic Brands is up to no good.

I've read that here to.. Maybe they want more "allround outerwear lines" instead of the "pro model lines" so they sell faster? Or giving others the chance ton have a "pro line" like Cannon? Don't know.. Really curious tho for Volcom next season.

sounds like Volcom is going to be more surf specific and less ski/snowboard under their new managers

I quit caring and supporting them when they went VC/PE the first time.

Totally agree. I'd go full Pata if I was OK with looking like a skier.

except for the boots, I can't tell anymore standing in the lift line from one's outerwear if they're a skier or boarder these days.

Which is interesting because Billabong is all surf now and Quik is mostly surf. Seems like, if anything, they should shift Volcom further toward snow.

I imagine the profit margins for selling board shorts and t-shirts in shopping malls is bigger than technical backcountry shells, esp when most of that market has been taken by brands with a reputation in that space?

I never gave volcom snow outerwear a look until I joined this group, and even then I'd prob pick arcteryx, Patagonia, norrona etc over it for a myriad of reasons... one is that these companies actually have a physical retail location where I live

It’s a shame Volcom is losing their shit. I just tech washed and re proofed my Volcom L jacket yesterday and realized there isn’t a mark on it after 100 or so days, outerwear is the one thing I usually beat up.
