Orage and 686 are now making waterproof breatheable jeans for skiing and snowboarding. Has anyone heard anything about them or tried them? are they any good? how do they look?

You can wear jeans skiing if you really want to, but the only people that ski in jeans are rental mentals. Whatever floats your boat, skiing in jeans doesnt fit my fancy, ya know?

I can't speak for 686, but the Orage pants are not jeans at all. They just look like them. They are similar material to what is used in all types of ski pants. And they are not 10mm waterproof, they are 10000mm waterproof, which is pretty damn good. Personally I don't like the look of them, but they are still pretty sick pants.

Well, if you are going to wear jeans of any sort on the slopes, remember to tuck the legs into the boots, and to sport a starter jacket!

I used to wear a starter jacket. They were sweet. It was a Michigan pullover.

it's ok to wear jeans if you NEVER fall, and aren't on any powder, and it's like 40 outside. but only under those conditions

You can still find Scotchgaurd in factory outlet cloth and sewing stores. It comes in aerosal cans, and you just spray it on.
Fuck the corporate world and make your own waterproof jeans, jackets, sweaters, skate shoes, anything, perfect for making your surf clothes 'all season'

i just recently sold my boots in favour of scotch garding my nikes and just cliping them right into my bindings...after a few hours the mindnumbing pain in my ancles just fades away! i saved myself some serious cash. i think ill sell my ski's and just wrap two planks of wood with my old courderoys and scothgard them too. then ill wrap myself in plastic bags and people will think im cool cause im the most economicall person on the hill!!!

You may as well go get some hunting pants from wal-mart. Have fun skiing in jeans---must be the most uncomfortable invention ever. But, of course, make sure you buy them big enough that the crotch reaches your ankles and the cuffs go at least over your bindings. happy freeriding in your jeans.

morbumps, you are an ignorant fucking retard. they are not jeans they are a syntecic waterproff material that is blue with gold stitching, thus making them look like jeans they feel the same as any other pair of ski panys but you can wear them anywhere, infact i'm wearing them right now, i went skiing today and havent changed and don't need to.

lurn to spell. I was just having a little fun with you guys b/c i know they're popular on the hill. Don't take it to heart dude, my apologies if you were offended. Oh, did i mention i have a pair as well? It's fun to be the agitator sometimes....basically that post was designed to make fun of the people who make fun of the pants, but based on the above response my quest was a failure, I suppose reading between the lines is out of the question for you guys....happy skiing.

phrosty- I beleive you're an ignorant piece of fuck as well. Considering I apologized to you and was nice about it, then you come back and be a hard ass. Grow up dude. When you obtain a brain and get some pubes then maybe we'll talk. Until then look in the mirror and try and figure out what you're looking at, I can garuntee you'll find someone who needs to mature a bit. Have fun living life like you're better than everyone else. See you when I'm your boss and you're my factory worker.

You have some serious issues dude. I hope you're pissed...I'm laughing cause you're going nuts. Good riddens son---I don't know why you're so pissed off. Most people live life in a happy state lending forgiveness where needed. Forgive and forget, but looks like you don't know what either may be. Have fun being pissed, you'll die by the time you're 30 with high blood pressure. So much for friends on the site, you can chalk someone in your 'ignorant piece of shit cock sucking asshole' for me. later on piece of dong.
