Replying to Ski clothing companies still don't get ti
wow...another news item on the front page... a new ski clothing company. ambush clothing. i check their website out, and what do you know, another huge dissapointment.
click t-shirts - all you get to see is the picture that I'm guessing is screened on the front of the shirt. Same with the hoodies. Jerseys? coming soon. Seriously, if I wanted screen printed fruit of the loom shirts, I'd photoshop something and make them myself. And I don't want to buy things from companies without a picture of the product. Please, if you're going to start a company, can you start a real one? And get designers, and creative people that know how to make clothing, and actually cut fabric?
To quote from the sublux interview, I have tremendous respect for the lifestyle companies in other sports. However, skiers need to realize when they buy from these companies, or some clothing store at the mall, they are not supporting skiing. When you buy from Sublux, your money goes back into the ski industry.
Do you really need to try to make kids feel bad about buying clothing from the mall so you can sell your lame ass walmart hoodie? Guess what, go to pacific sunwear, arguably a pretty "poser" store, and the hoodies there are way sicker than any ski hoodie i've seen (except for maybe siver, which i have some respect for).
But anyway, I don't even get the point of the argument. Who cares about "supporting skiing" by buying clothing. Last time I checked, the mountains will be open in a month, I have skis, and I'll be able to go skiing. What difference does it make if buy a sublux hoodie or not. You know the best way in my book to "support" skiing? Go ski.
