I literall;y had all burton this year. I did not base any gear decisions on brand, but i happened to like burtons stuff. Burton ski socks (christmas), burton pants, burton jacket, Burton Mitts, RED helmet, Anon Goggles, both of which are subcompanys of burton.

I think snowboarding pants wear out on the inside of the boot quicker than ski pants, ohterwise, i don't know a difference.

why would you giys want to support a company that doesn't give a fuck about you when you could buy from someone who actually knows what skis are? I mean come on, support the industry a little.

theres nothing really wrong with it, i like to rep skiing though, or at the very least a company that sponsors both sports.

Burton, ya sure why not. Technine blah. Companies like Burton, Bonfire, and even DC are really good for quality stuff.

I'll support skiing's outerwear industry when they stop making product that falls apart, sucks technically, and has decent style that isn't "snowboarding from 2 years ago".
My Oakley Galactic jacket barely made it through ONE season. We're talking about a high-end, 3-ply, hard to find jacket. numerous zippers no longer work, including the main one that keeps the jacket closed up, it's not really waterproof anymore, and the seam taping is starting to unglue itself.
Real quality shit. Glad I didn't pay retail for it.
