How ugly are these? - Snowboarding Forum

02-25-2010, 08:04 AM

I just got my Burton AK 3L Skid Hi-Top Mens Snowboard Pants 2009 in the mail from Brociety.com. I scooped them up for an easy 100 bones. After taking them out of the box, I realized how ugly the pattern actually was. The base color is gray, with light and faded blue tiger stripes.

My big problem now, WHAT THE HELL JACKET CAN POSSIBLY MATCH THESE THINGS?

I'm sporting these hideos gray/tiger camo pants, solid black reusch gloves, black with green accent scott goggles and currently a 686 Aces kings 2008 black/gray jacket.

For the love of god, can someone recommend a jacket that wont look ridiculous with these pants?

go to us.bape.com and click shop.
look for the gray leopard camo jacket. For some reason this site doesnt use the whole URL thing. :/

Anyways I think that would look pretty cool

ive come to the conclusion to jsut send them back. Leopard on top of tiger would be a little too much pattern for anyone.

Gonna start the process over and hope to find some nice pants.

i wouldnt return those just because you got them for such a good price. go with a gray or light blue jacket or just buy the next good jacket off of sac, wm, etc for agood price and not car about matching

The picture on the website is kinda deceiving. There is more camo pattern all over the pants and they are more metallic colors. So rather than light grey, it's more silver.

I was thinking a blue jacket.
