or what specific jackets and pants?

Thanks.

What I usually do with outerwear is buy last year's stuff right as this year's stuff is coming out. I just bought a Special Blend jacket in August for about $200 less than it would've cost me had I bought it last January.

My favorite brands for outerwear are Special Blend and Four Square though. Grenade and Dakine make good gloves, not sure if you're considering those outerwear though.

Usually the bigger companies will have such a range of product that you'll be able to find stuff from one company in any price range, and you can be pretty sure that it will be good quality because a big company like that isn't going to risk a bad image on selling cheap ass stuff.

I just got myself a ride outerwear jacket. It has 10,000mm of waterproofness and breathability and a foursquare pant, again 10,000 mm of waterproof and breathablility. I also got dakine titan gloves, basically looks to me like the best glove out there. All of what I got are affordable and good.

If you get a jacket and a coat, look for 10,000 mm of waterproofness and breathable.

If you have any local ski/ride shops near you I'd check them out around Labor Day. This year in Aspen just about every shop had 50-75% off sales for last years gear. Good time to find some sick deals.

I used to live in Iowa, and we didn't have anything there except for Scheels (a sports store where the snowboard kiosk was next to the hunting supplies). So I relied heavily on online shopping. I love The House, dogfunk, and DJ's Boardshop. I keep coming back to them because they have the stuff I want and at a fairly good price. They've treated me well so far....:thumbsup:

I like Sessions, they make some great outerwear, especially for the ladies who don't particularly like looking like a cupcake with frosting on top; (how did teal and pink become the new black?! :eek: ) my boyfriend likes Foursquare, they put out some durable jackets and pants as well. I guess we're not about this years stuff, what worked last year will probably work well this year. I'd rather spend my money on a new board, season passes, or groceries. :cool:

Yeah i ended up getting a black foursquare stevo jacket (really nice) for $75, down from $210 and Sessions gunmetal houndstooth tinker pants (nice and baggy just the way i like them. not to mention the color matches my beanie :p) for $60, down from $170. Got both of them from Tramdock and Whiskey Militia.

Tramdock and Whiskey Militia are my freakin heroes. they have so many damn good deals. I even got my Oakley crowbars from them for $54, down from $95-$120.


I also like Backcountry.com. Good deals and awesome customer service.
