Paying for Winter Jackets - Page 2

i went to my boardshop and they can't even order my jacket til thanksgiving. so it will be a while til i get mine. SB makes some pretty sweet outerwear. this year i am going with Foursquare though. i can't decide between the Red TS.8000 Niagra or the red FS.20000 Paramount. both are damn nice jackets and they cost around $260 because i'd have to pay for shipping and stuff like that. but i'm sticking with all the other stuff i bought last year. limited board, 5150 bindings, Forum JP Walker boots, SB pants, dragon goggles...I LOVE SNOW!

lol... four square and Special Blend are the same company

4 star distribution
that's why all their stuff looks similar

but yeah.. i used to like Dub stuff, but last year their stuff was so ugly

i'm keepin most of my snowboard stuff too.... M3 snowboard, Burton CFX bindings and DC premier boots

how are the Forum boots? are they any good?
i had a forum snowboard before my M3... it was good but the M3 is way better, it's stiff and snappy

The boots are a dream, they fit like regular shoes and they are uber-supportive. and you don't have to walk wierd when you wear them either. What kind of gloves and goggles do you have?
i think i might be getting a new beenie, either a blue Forum one or a red and gray SB one...

and i got the burton tactic gloves
i have a black and red volcom beanie

I got to get some new gloves, googles and a helmet this year, I may opt for a new set of bindings to (I'm hating Step-ins) as for a coat, last year I got the Burton Biolite Snowsiut, I wantyed the Toast but hey, you get what you get. I'm loving it, no rips, very durable and I usually wear just the coat around outside and a fleece underneath when on the slopes. You do have to layer or else you freeze at 8:00 going up the chairlift when it's minus 30 outside.

BTW, any suggestions on Googles? I really want white Spy's but I'd consider an Oakley one too.

-30 sucks. -40 sucks even more.

-40 + Windchill is about as bad as it gets, for Ontario/ Western Quebec anyways.

Heep · #23 10-10-2001, 04:36 PM

I've seen (not felt, staying inside by the fire

) -50 with windchill back in NB once

oh so you're a helmet kid eh?

Ontario is the worst place ever for snowboarding though.... or as i refer to our province: Onterrible

I agree with you about step-ins... i don't like them, i like traditional strap bindings waaaay better, they're more comfortable, your foot seems like it's stuck to the board... while with step-ins when you're turning on your heel edge it feels like you're pulling the board with the bottom of your feet

Spy's are the best..... but those Oakley A-style/type whatever it is, the As are nice... i had oaks before and didn't like'em
The spies are yet too fog or crack or anythin.... and they like rap around your head

i like my dragons, but those are the only kind i've bought. they have like a dark tint to them, every says i should get mirrored lenses but i see no use to them. i have the burton toast gloves/mittens and they are soo warm. i even have to wear them in school because even though it snowed yesterday they still have the stupid A/C on. there is a resort here that has a season pass for $99, just for highschool students. its going to be sweet.

This is true. the best place for boarders is Brighton though, they have a nice park and its big enough that you don't have to mess with annoying skiers. this season i am getting a pass at park city though, the skiing mecca of utah.

i wanna go to snow summit... from watching snowboard videos like technical difficulties (i know it's old but it's one of my favorites) it looks like they got some madd parks at snow summit, they got crazy set ups
there's like crazy ass set ups that say snow summit on the side, so the park sets them up... that must be sweet

but snow summit is in california isn't it
