Trew looks damn sick, and if you sell one of your kidneys you might be able to afford them.

I always get last years stuff at the ski show. Its cheap effective and you can weed out the stupid looking fads before buying.

even tho he said he didn't want to look the same as everyone else, somehow I still expected a barrage of saga responses.

Do breathability and waterproof ratings even factor in to peoples decisions nowadays?

My top pics for this year in no particular order, taking style, durability, waterproofing and breathability are:
Oakley Alps Jacket + Pant
Orage Garth jacket and Geronimo Pant
Armada: Galactic Jacket and Plasma pant
Trew Gear: Cosmic Jacket and Trewth bib.

yes all of those are on the more expensive side of free ride clothing. But you get what you pay for. all of those are gonna keep you dry when skiing in rain on slush, they won't rip a ton and provide you with a good look as well.
