what is this? zumies sells it and nothing else even has a trace of info about it. it says 10k waterproofing and both the jacket and pants cost less than 100. not together that is, but still. just wondering what the consensous is...

also, anyone know about there being a ziper that can connect the pants and jacket? thats what it says...

The real question is.....

Why are you even thinking about giving Zumiez even a dollar of your money?

ZOMG
i would love to make you SO SUPER HAPPY.
the deal is probably gone..  look around though.
if it is still there next time i am at the mall (maybe this weekend) i'll shoot a p.m.
keep your fingers crossed, i guess, but don't get too sure.

agreed, sick jacket
says 10k 10k, but to tell you the truth, wind cuts right threw it
not very durable
but they are sick
the blue one with the yellow is cute;) but not really worthwhile
dont get shit from zumiez,
go to a local ski/board shop and help out the local shops
dont buy into comercial shops

i dont work this weekend, im leaving town but if you want i can check the shop and see if it all still works on monday or something

and down with layers?? then yeah, this is deff the coolest looking jacket for sure!
also fits great if you havent tried them on. im assuming you have

aperature just looks like a crappy shell that you could get on http://www.campmor.com.

you can get jackets for like 20 dollars but they are literally like a plastic bag over you.
thats what this looks like.

Christ kid.  Get at least 10k/10k at a bare minimum.  20k/20k preferably or even gore-tex if you want to stay warm and dry all day in any conditions.

You an find 20k/20k easy for under $150 on NS or some other good sites mostly new and some used.  I just got a brand new 20k/20k analog puffy on NS for $100 shipped.  Got a brand new 2006 20k/20k oakley coat for like $150 last year.  Just be patient there are some great deals to be had, also look at sac, wm, and td all the time.

geartrade.com I've found multiple 15k jackets for around $70 on there... they are usually burton or 686 (they have venom, orage, volcom from time to time) , but at that price who the fuck cares? and 686 is cool anyways

I got  a gift card to zumiez and I was browsing their website and fell in love with the aperture jacket/pants.  I ordered the blue one and I'm waitin for some more free money or maybe another zumiez card to finish up with the blue pants.

and to those who say not to support zumiez and their "commercial" crap.  They sell a lot of underground clothing companies, ie: the imaginary foundation, theseventhletter, mishka nyc, etc.  So by supporting zumiez you're also supporting those clothing companies.

have you been to a zumiez lately? it looks like a highlighter threw up. I'm glad all of those cool companies are getting huge orders from zumiez. but most people I know hate that company because of how they treat their employees. I know first hand that it is a super shiity existence working for that place. I'm all for small companies growing, but I'm going to let zumiez make their money off of 13yr olds who want to look like the warped tour tools. they run a poor corporation, low incentives and way too strict of policies. I love my new job at my local shop.

Oh, if you say not to support Zumiez because of the way they treat employees rather than their "commercialized crap" that they sell, I guess that is a legitimate reason.

I wore the pants for the first time today  (jacket is still stuck at zumiez HQ) and it's pretty damn good.  It was cold and windy and I didn't even notice the coldness.  It kept me pretty damn warm and blocked wind.
