theyre just normal hoodies so they arent waterproof at all or anything like that.  im 5'8" and i have a large hoody that is pretty baggy on me...it fits about the same as my xl finishline tall ts if that helps at all

i'm mainly wondering about the material thing...

my friend has this really tall sessions hoodie that was just a hoodie but it was made out of some weird material so that it was pretty much waterproof, or at least it didn't soak through in pretty heavy snowfall.


i basically just don't wanna buy a legit jacket, because jiberish stuff looks filthier and is cheaper (?)

they're normal hoodies. Not waterproofed at all from my experiences. Definitley not a substitution for a jacket because they'll soak up water and freeze you to death
 
as for the 6' guy with a small hoodie.. why do you have a small? And i can tell you now that its probaly tight fitting. If you're 5'11 or whatever get an XL and it'll be nice and baggy but not redic. My friends the same height as you and has an L oh word thats not even that big

Go to the Buy,sell,and trade forum. Outerwear will be very cheap. If you wanted new stuff, new Jiberish would be as much as a lot of new outerwear.  You would hate yourself in a Jiberish hoodie on a powder day or a PNW rain day as well.  It would be horrible in Washington.

Yes, Peter has a cool sessions softshell, but he also has a legit jacket. (still, I never saw you last year in a jacket.)

The waistbands are sick!

 After about 30 yards of skiing the bottom of the hoody is stuck up above your belly button

your average xl may be diferent than someones else xl, just saying.

and i beg to differ cause i think jiberish is taller then the "average xl"


A jiberish xl is good for every body, unless you usally wear really tall stuff like 5xl and stuff then get jiberish 2xl, and even NEXT YEAR 3XL

why thank you, thomas... for naming me. yes, that sessions jacket is mine, but it's a softshell, so it's fairly waterproof

jiberish = not a ski jacket

and buster, you've seen me rock my XL jiberish, you should get XL, we're about the same size(ish)

Where would you go about getting a jiberish hoodie aside from being sponsarized by them or in BST?

i'm just about 6' and XL was too small.  but i guess it's all in opinion.

and i am pretty sure that you can stretch the bottom elastic so it doesn't ride up.

chill.
its not the jiberish thing. its the hoodie thing.

i don't own any jiberish or any tall tees. i just want something to wear next year, and i was thinking hoodies before jackets.

yea, i feel you on the sizing thing. im pretty sure xl would be good for any hoodie / jacket. not necesarily jiberish, just anything.

im thinking ill get something like taht, a soft shell (?) and then a legit jacket too.
but i don't do much else besides park laps. haha.

Jiberish definitely makes a good hoodie.  I was really surprised that it was as thick and burly as it is.  It seriously isn't made up by kids trying to justify spending that much on a hoodie.  They really put out a quality product.  My brother spent the same amount as me on a nomis XLT, and that thing feels like a shirt.  Very thin, and the zipper is impractical (any one who has tried to zip something down with gloves knows)

Add the fact that you are supporting an up and coming snow company and it really seems like you can't lose.

You're high correct? I'm 5' 8" and I have a M level 1 hoodie. FIts just like a normal sweatshirt. You're 6 feet? Your head wouldn't even fit in the whole. (Yes, thats what she said)

I got the on point, the little triangles all over it are made a waterproof material that shed water pretty well, but other than that its just a normal hoodie
