Why isn't Cross outerwear more popular?

Just from watching the Jon Olsson video blog, Cross outerwear might have the sickest shit I have seen yet for next season. The suit he is wearing in the latest blog-fucking sick. I would do unforgivable things to get that-its lime pants with a white/purple/lime jacket. Anyone else think they should market better to America or be more popular worldwide, or know of a good place to pick some up next year?

No its not.  Bogner is what rich ski fucks are about.  The new trendy expensive outerwear is Kjus too.

hey i like the fancy ski clothes, better performance than most jackets and alot of them can be used for more than just skiing. i love arcteryx, but those companies are sick too

just saying i wish i could get my hands on a jacket from cross, the ones he wears are so sick and a different style from normal ns style, and i like it

its no where near baggy enough. Think about it, how would Jon's jacket match your tall tee?

i am not a fan of the tall tee layering effect

i like technical and form fitting jackets better, they perform better when the fit correctly

you can still pair nice jackets with cool pants, i use my saga pants with an arcteryx jacket that is form fitting and i have north face pants that are baggy fit that i use with a diff arc jacket, still looks sick, just not the "street" look the ns'ers look for

Well your dollar buys less European goods. So that jacket just gets more expensive....

If its not the cost, its the exchange rate killin ya.

Well even here in Europe you have to pay a lot for it.. Also cross is more a company who makes outerwear for more older people and not for the freeski scene.. However they keep making more and more cool stuff, Oscar Scherlin also has cross outerwear, saw a picture the other day and id looked great!!

The D-Structure Quebec store sold a limited amount of Cross stuff this year. So check with them and see if they'll have any in for next season
