Billabong, Oakley, Eddie Bauer, LL Bean....all are companies that sell nice flannels for over $75. Nice clothes cost money, just because you can't afford (or choose not to) it doesn't give you reason to bash a great contributor to the ski industry. I'm really kind of sick of seeing the bashing of Jiberish when they do a lot of good for half of the riders we admire.
A small company like that shouldn't get so much hate for doing exactly what the industry demands. Exclusivity, quality products, enormous sizes that some want...it all drives the prices way up. They could sell cheaper stuff and neglect the details, but they don't.
TREW, Voluerz, ON3P...other companies that have insane good quality and some of them suffer to keep their prices reasonable and their customer basis small. Those are the companies to admire.
