I want to pick some up... especially pants, only new gear, preferably from a respectable online retailer and necessarily above 10k waterproofing, preferably 20. Where sells this stuff? Most peoples' size runs in anything only goes up to XL. There used to be some on ebay but it's not anymore.

I am aware that companies MAKE xxl outerwear. I am looking for purchasing options. Like... stores. I can't find anything on any of the regular outlets like backcountry.com or dogfunk or sidewayspeople, etc.

YES. That's the kind of thing I was looking for, I wish more sites did that. There's some decent 10k stuff there... are there any other places that show sizes the same way?

Sierra usually has some good deals. If your near one of their stores, I'd recommend going. The online catalog does not always reflect what they have in the stores. Good luck

Yeah, but there aren't any online places that have XXL. I've checked, becuase I've been looking for XXL clothing as well.

JD you should buy my black/licorish technine XXL tech pants. Theyre either 15000 or 10000mm waterproofing. I only wore them a couple times this year so they are mint and impossible to find normally in XXL. I really need paypal $$ so id be willing to make a deal.

No surprises, basically... in process or product. Unless I know the person reasonably well I'd rather buy from a retailer.

Anyway, I have all summer to do this, so I'm not looking for a quick fix.

I believe it's all custom made by one dude in an upstairs apartment in the interior. Basically it's fucking amazing. Pretty expensive though, probably more than I'd be willing to spend at this point... but if you have the cash to dish out it would be so so worth it. Also I'm not sure they make pants... though I bet they could if you asked.

Ben has a bunch of people sewing for him, it's not custom made, but if you want something a little different than what he has, he can use that pattern and maybe put a little custom touch on it.
And it's not even that expensive. Maybe $500 for both pants and jacket.

they do have sick deals, unfortuately for you it's the end of the season and you need the dubXs, you'd get more options if you fit into XLs.

Check out the compvertible pant, it comes in XXL. It's 10,000/10,000 and pretty cheap a $105 USD.

I agree. I really think that ski companies need to get their heads out of thier asses about waterproofing. There is no way in hell I am paying $350 for 10K mm waterproofing (Oakley, Orage). Fuckers.

Oh, and I figured out why Obermeyer has never been on my list... their "highest quality" shit is only critically seam sealed, they don't report waterproofing/breathability, they just give a bunch of annoying buzzword bullshit that doesn't mean anything (Ooooooh, "Stormshield HP" fabric! That sounds like it'll hold back a fucking HURRICANE! I better get those), then they fail utterly to tell you anywhere on their website anything about what those meaningless tech-buzzwords MEAN.

All this says to me is, "what we're trying to market is so trashy and weak that we have to shroud and confuse the consumer with fancy, worthless terms and hope they don't notice our deficiencies."

It's still an option, probably my best right now. but I'm still hoping to get something better than 10k, especially considering the jacket I just got is 3ply gore.
