Why don't one of you step up and create a decent outerwear brand for skiers. Something like Holden. I just don't know how many more lime green Oakley pants I can take.

Uhhh antifreeze Oakley is the shit. And there are a shit load of other amazing brands out there. I hardly see any antifreeze puffy's anyway they are pretty rare.

I don't care who supports skiing or not, but it would be cool if someone within skiing did something half decent.

Orage stuff looks good, you are right.

Saga, we'll see how they do with the lime green pants. I wish any start up well but why the hell did they do lime green??

Was there a big closeout sale in China on lime green fabric or something?

I'm actually way stoked on what FATE clothing made this year. way durable, way waterproof, and it looked good. I'm excited for next year. Saga makes legit stuff as well.

saga is legit. and i still love antifreeze. shoulda bought those pants when i had the chance. aeryx is doin well. electric blue is the new color. purple is gonna be legit too but blue is next year im hoping. tanner wore some sick blue oakley stuff at the x games. i like FATE. but most of all i wish i had the bank to buy a blue saga suit.

My oakley stuff is awsome, you just have to know what to buy. Ive owned Helly Hansen, Sessions, North Face, some Orage but oakley has to be the best so far. Its warm, the material seems to hold up, and i find it looks good. I don't rock the Anti-freeze, or the lime. I rock the camo puffy jacket, with troop pants....and have had no problems. As a matter of fact they have held up better then the helly, sessions, and north face stuff. Orage is great stuff, but its hard to find, and uber expensive. I do agree that the Anti-freeze stuff is pretty un-original now. When i went to Blue i seen like 4 kids in one day all with the same oakley anti-freeze puffy pants.

The only brands I saw at SIA that I liked were Holden(yes they are going after skiers now...but only cause its the only part of wintersports thats growing..oh and only half of their clothes would work to ski in...great idea there)see it here
http://www.ob1enterprises.com/brands/holden.html you can download the 07/o8 catalog

Oakley had really cool looking stuff (but I have only seen nothing but problems with their gear wear and tear wise and want to see if it will start holding up to a PNW winter)...

GIV was cool but small line up..they had this Herringbone down jacket I saw on the last day that was so sick though I would of stole it if I could of... Click for larger image

Orage took all of sivers ideas and tried to re-do it...that didn't work well...umm snowboard brands had some sick stuff but I guess you don't want to look at that stuff.

I don't know man $330 for a 12K jacket...a little on the steep side...I know they are just starting out but you can get a lot better jacket for $100 less.
