So i jus got my new yellow oakley assualt pants for next year and i was wondering which jacket should i get?

So i have 3 options

1. Spyder Echo Down in XL    $250 Josh Bibbys

2. Burton Purple Jacket in XL           $90 Ian Compton wore this exact jacket in traveling circus

3. Wait till next years jackets come out.

#1... but I don't think that the echo is the best for everyday riding... it's a puffy... you sould get the killer jacket

yellow and purple are complementary colors so the yellow pants and purp jacket would look dope

I like the spyder killer but its still pretty pricey...

Do you think it would be worth it to spend $160 more just cause its a skiing brand and its good quality?

Or if anyone knows any cool jackets in XL that would go with Yellow Pants

it is half of the waterproofing and it is a really heavily insulated jacket. it is not meant for everyday riding...

yes the Killer is much more waterproof and just as tall as the Echo and you wont die of heat when it gets warm out or even hiking a rail on a milder day

^ XXL is pictured here, but that is sold out everywhere. XL should do alright, unless you're huge or just have to be ever so baller... just like TWALL, right?

Ya everyone was saying it would be better because then you can layer up on cold days and still wear it on warm days... and its more waterproof
