Zero jacket in blue with a black tall tee would be money! That is just my opinion though go with what you think will look best.

you got large first drop pants and your 5'4? what the hell? unless u have ridiculously long legs at 5'4 then that was a stupid decision. the pants are easily going to get caught and ur bindings and will be the biggest pain

Green/yellow TJ PRO w/ White pants = ugly
Yellow/Military B-dog w/ White pants = no.
First drop orange/yellow w/ White pants = ok - fairly cool
Blue/blk Oakley corked w/ White pants = ugly
Blue Salomon zero w/ White pants = yeah! black tall tee for some contrast and ur in!


Imo, get a xl salomon zero if you're very skinny otherwise you might wanna size up to a xxl.

I tried on one of the new Armada tall jackets today.  Shit is huge.  I'm 6'1" and tried on the XL and felt like I was swimming in it.
