shit looks like saga, just worse. I could never justify spending that much money on outerwear like that. Id rather buy a new pair of skis. They also don't seem to be that high quality... and they have wierd cuffs on their pant legs that look like shit.

If I pay 450 for a jacket, it better be made of fucking gold.

They are going for actual quality. They are going for the Arc Teryx crowd, but ones who don't want to look like douchey, A Basin patronizing, whole foods shopping, cock guzzlers.

And they will actually deliver your shit unlike Saga.

their stuff runs kind of small but looks really good and quality. Definitely could use a little drop in price, but the guys running it seem really chill so perhaps the company has a bright future. They also have a huge sick RV

^ i agree with that guy, if any of the other people in this thread have started an outerwear company with as good of quality materials as TREW, then feel free to bitch about prices. but all of you other people shut the hell up. they're a brand new company with really high end gear, so what did you expect it to cost?

yeah the shits expensive but what else can you expect from a start up company. ive seen/ tried on their gear and its awesome quality plus ive met these guys and chilled on the rv when they rolled through vermont and they are down to earth dudes. my good friend from VA grew up with some of the kids who launched the company and the trew name comes from a "hybrid" of their last names mixed together. overall they are good guys pushing a good product and the prices are only bound to drop once they get recognized and have a solid consumer base

BUY TREW GEAR

Did ANYONE read the thread about the guy who demoed a suit from each company and rated them? Out of all the suits he demoed, Trew was the only one that held off all water while he took a shower in it. if you're going for waterproofness, TREW delivers. If it's too expensive for you, don't buy it.

Anyone that hated on Trew for quailty is horrible misinformed. Anyone that hated on their style is a hater
Anyone that hated on prices probably doesn't know the quality.

Trew is a super tech outerwear company that has a sense of style that can be appreciated by a lot of people. Respect.

You couldnt be more wrong they are extremely high quality. There pant cuffs are much more reliable and sturdy than any armada or first drop.

trew shit is fucking awesome, nobody hate on it

you completely get what you pay for. take the best tech companies like arc'teryx, cloudveil, and norrona and give them a baggier fit and steezier colors and bam, you have trew. what's not to like about that?

this,

trew makes the highest quality outerwear i've ever tried on. i skiied in chest deep pow one day with rain falling and my suit never even felt damp. sure the price is way high, but it'll last you 5 times as long.

if you are still growing it might not be the best since you will outgrow it and mine as well get something thatll last 1 season.

all of you who haven't even seen there gear in person should gtfo and stop fucking hating

You're completely judging them based on looks.  Ever heard of quality?  Please stop comparing them to Saga.

Look at this guys pictures, he has like 3 pictures of him in it and it really looks sick.  https://newschoolers.com/ns/content/pictures/hide_header/1/member_id/113060/

I doubt it's as good of quality as a gore-tex jacket, but from what I've heard, it's close to being the next best thing.

Which of their jackets are insulated?
Also, is the stuff on their site the current products, or are they dropping a new line soon?

you dont need insulation. layering keeps you warmer and you can adjust during the day
