If you could one of these Oakley setups...

never thought i'd be posting a "what setup should i get" thread but i'm very indecisive this year.

okay, i can get o gear at discount this year so im obviously going with an all oakley setup.  Basically I'm set on the Timber pant, but have no idea what jacket i want.  If oakley posted all the available colors on their site this decision would be much easier.  The jackets I'm debating between are the Avalanche, either puffy (detachable or layer), or the evo.  my personal top picks so far:

avalanche in nickel w/nickel tiger camo

evo in ozone or red with timber in white tiger camo

puffy in nickel w timber nickel tiger camo

avalanche in ALL black w/white tiger cam

Ideally I'd like to hear ALL available colors of the jackets, the evo/puffys/especially avalanche.

If I could do anything I wanted it would be avalanche in ozone w/white tiger cam, but I have no idea if it comes in this color--if anyone has seen it anywhere let me know.

Also i'm open to previous year's setups i might find at a vault store--not stoked on the antifreeze though, its cool but i saw that shit everywhere last year.

Oakley oakley oakley oakley oakley oakley oakley oakley oakley oakley.  Jesus fucking christ... I am so sick of the same old shit.  Buy what you like, ask your mom to pick your outerwear out for you.  I didn't have to click this, yet I did, this has been my response so deal with it.

I'll post a pic of my setup tonight to give you an idea.  I have the red hardcore pant with the white tiger camo Cohesion jacket (which isn't even on their site).  It's looking sooo dope.

if you're so sick of it stop reading the fucking threads.  i don't really care what people think all that much, but being constantly surrounded by oakley shit kinda desensitises you after awhile.  im just trying to guage what's more/less desirable this year from people and ill make my own damn decision from there.

I promised you some pics so here they are.  The cohesion jacket is semi insulated and I got the jacket and pants in medium - baggy fit.  I'm 5'10 150 and it's baggy enough on me for my liking.

Is that jacket pretty much the new paratrooper? It looks exactly the same except for color.

I don't think so.  The Cohesion has 4 front pockets with little leather snaps (as shown in the picture).  So in that sense, it would be more similar to the Oakley evo. 

I'm pretty sure the Cohesion has more pockets and venting than the paratrooper.

Other than those pockets it looks almost the same.

Well, if most of the spoiled kids on here, have their parents pay for their shit, why shouldn't their mommy's have a say in what they buy for their kids?  Mommy knows best.

first off, I'm not a kid.  I'm 23.  If you have such a problem with Oakley, why don't you just fuck off. 

people are allowed to like different styles...and it's not like I buy new shit every year.  This is my first new setup in like 4 years so I have the right to be stoked on my new gear.

Haha, wow....a little uptight are we?
That wasn't meant to be take literally, if you're such an adult try acting like one and not getting bent out of shape over something posted jokingly in an online forum.

deuche.  read 1st posting.  i get a 70% discount, hence why i am buying this shit.  otherwise i probably would not spend $900.  I too have not bought a new setup in around 5 years.  the main thing is I don't want to get an oakley setup that every single other jackass in the lift line will have, so i'm probably going to stay more conservative w/colors.  mainly i just want opinions on outerwear people already have and use--oakley can either make really bomber stuff or really shitty stuff--i'm trying to separate the well made portion of their line from the park rat oriented bullshit they slang to kids who ask mommy for advice.
