So everybody already knows about orage, joystick and saga as being skier based apparal. Not that im overly opposed to wearing a snowboard brand (nomis grenade etc not burton) what are some other ski brands to represent.

not including ski manufactors of course.

Lethal descent... but why wouldn't you buy snowboarder outfits some of them are sick and way easyer to get. Usually you can only get skier apparels like lethal descent and saga( i think) by ordering them from the internet, or at least it's easyer. I know armada will make some sick oufits next year but they will probobly be shit quality just like their hoodies. I can't think of any other company but i'm pretty sure there are more.

actually armada's quality is supposed to be really good next year. I know their gloves this year are really nice, I've skied 4 days with them (not a lot, I know) and they are really comfy and warm enough for most weather. Liners help when it gets below 15 or so, though.

oh well, my hoodie's seams loosed after like 1 week of use, the color faded after the first time i washed it (that sucks alot!) and it shrinked when i washed it. I will never buy armada again, when you  pay like 90 bucks for a hoodie you expect that it will last at least 1 month you know. Now I only use it to ski otherwise it's gonna get used too much. I hate armada.

that sucks. did you follow washing instructions? if you have a lot of color in any hoodie it will fade if you don't do it right.

jiberish...but im all for non-skiers wearing skier based clothing, because they support these companies, and without support these companies would not exist

My Armada hoody is awesome and has held up just fine, but my brothers started falling apart pretty quickly.  I felt bad for him.

Helly Hansen is more skier based. Best outerwear imo.

SMS makes some really good gear, their quality is definitely getting a lot better and their style rocks.
