Yo, This year i was going for the Salomon Gangsta suit but i had a few questions:
-first off i cant find it anywhere, I live in Cincinnati Ohio and i have called all the shops none carry, Salomons site deosnt eather and they dont have a number to call on there (Wondering if anyone had that)
-Need Sizing details, im 6'0 175lb. Like my stuff baggy but not a dress... this year i had burton XL stuff and i wanted a little baggyer but 2xl seems huge... I dont know :P
-And last is it to warm? i Ski 3 times a week at Perfect North Slopes Indiana in there park, its usually low 30s high 20s or warmer but i take 3 trips out west

this part confused the shit out of me... you are saying that they are making a "gangsta suit" and a "gangster suit"?

can you please send me a link to these two different things. i cant find either on backcountry, and im still scratching my head over why a company would make 2 different suits and call one the gangster and one the gangsta, it doesnt make sense to me.

if you don't want very long and baggy then the G suit is not for you. If you would really like to have it though, which I don't think you do, you can find it at the whistler salomon boutique, call them and they can ship it to you...

The Large jacket and large pants should be good. I know for sure the XL's aren't huge by any means and I'm still bitching about them not making it in a 2XL.

I have an XL jacket and XL pant, 6'1'' 225
