I would just get Burton gloves if I were you, they're not expensive, they're warm and hold up well too.

You want those stoke cargo pants in size L or XL depending on how baggy you like. $99.50 USD is pretty good for 10,000/10,000 pants. I have a fate jacket and like it alot. As long as you're not in a damn downpour you should be alright with them.

Um well... if this affects your decision at all. The Siver pivotals only have 5,000 waterproofing. So you're paying $40 for pants with half the waterproofing. I've never ordered from getboards, so I won't testify to this personally, but try the search bar. People on here bitch about getboards all the time.

Don't get me wrong the pivotal pants are sick. And the color would match your jacket a little better. But idk I value function higher than style. I think the fate pants are a better deal.

It's not terrible... but you can do better for the money. It'll hold up well from falls on dry to moderately damp snow and maybe some very light rain. But if you want to talk about terrible, oakly makes some shit thats like under 1,000.

I've never really been a fan of oakley or siver. Skiing has never been about how good you look standing in the terrain park.
