hey i just had a question i have always wondered about. i have alot of snowboarder friends and they are really into airblaster cause we hail from the northwest. Some snowboard jackets look really cool but i would feel really weird wearing one cause im not a snowboarder. what do you think? i have an orage jacket which is kinda snowboarding but other than that i would prolly get a lotta crap for wearing airblaster

hahaha are you serious? orage isn't snowboarding at all. it's entirely ski. Dude don't worry about it, i wear a special blend jacket just cause i like the way it looks and feels. no one cares (unless its burton) about whether or not your jacket is made for snowboarders or skiers. as long as it keeps you warm its cool.

if you like airblaster, i'd say go ahead and rock it. the only thing I dont like on skiers are the legbags. kinda silly me thinks

airblaster is sick! I wear it all the time, just don't be self conscience about it. anybody who gives you shit should just fuck off, and tell them so.

Heres my 2 cents.  I have nothing against snowboarding, or snowboard outerware.  I don't like ANY brand that rips on skiing.  so I don't really like burton and now after Danny Kass told how he really feels, I don't like grenade.  I think you should buy what you like, but also know that your dollars have power, and if your a skier its never bad to support the ski industry.

only pretty much wear snowboarding stuff.  No care what so ever.  Way easier to get this shit on clearance then any skiing brand.

Travis Parker, one of the founders of Airblaster, is frequently seen on twin tips cruising around the mountains. I'd say go with it for sure. I'm a huge fan of Airblaster (I'm also a snowboarder). I'd never rip on a skier who was rocking the Airblaster, because it's feeding the company more money to develop more sick stuff for me. But I agree, lay off the legbags, that's purely a snowboarder thing.

most of the snowboard gear is a lot steezier, so who gives a damn if you wear it while skiing?

i was just pondering this yesterday... i decided that as long as your happy with it then rep it.... even if its a company that might not like skiing such as grenade, atleast you are putting money into the snowsports industry.
