I was fortunate enough to have the ability to be enough of a smartass to entice gear companies to let us do a gear test. But as first drop backed out it seemed like my test was ruined. We did the best we could and my friends enjoyed using the suits for free.

At this point any relavance of last years products has been dismissed from your minds. There is not much to report when it comes to outerwear and i am a very busy man. So maybe our first year wasn't the greatest.

We are still open to submitted reviews if anyone has reviews.

But down to the thread, I want to give away the LDC suit to a newschooler in need. I gave the trew suit to a friend to keep it around and might pawn the saga suit.

First off I need Ideas of how to give the suit away. Im even going to pay shipping.

visiting the site wont hurt your chances either, send in the ideas, and lets get this to someone who deserves it.

But but but I called dibs on it in original thread. JK

I feel like 99% of people on this site do not actually NEED new outerwear and would not be totally deserving. I would like new outerwear, but that does not mean that I am deserving of this suit.

I remember last year their were a few threads about people stuff being run over, stolen, or other unfortunate things happening.
I vote you wait for a legit thread like that and give them the suit.

HOW ABOUT you sell the suit for cheaper to someone in need and donate the money to NICK'S eyes if you havent seen it here' s the video, its #2 on top rated.  He has a website where you can donate money in order for him to be able to get his eye surgery before he goes completely blind.

Congrats, hope it gets sent to someone who needs it.

I am a bit disappointed to see that the reviews didn't come through though.  The companies you received suits from to review are probably disappointed as well.

It was either skis or a steezy jacket this year. I went with the new line chronics and I am left with the medium green and gray columbia jacket given to me by my grandma. I am actually scared to go out this year... Also for my brother, who's left with an xS classic black northface. Willing to share with him. PLEASE

Give it to a college student, or high school student with good grades and not a lot of money, who is also a good skier, you could do a video entry sort of thing.

Oh, you're a great guy by the way. Hopefully it goes to somebody who really needs it!

I havent owned a jacket since I was 15, I am now 18.  And I live in Minnesota, so you know it gets fucking cold.  I layer up on Hoodies and t-shirts every time I go ride.  Usually freeze my ass off.  I would really like to buy a jacket, but cannot afford it.  Paying rent to my mom, paying for my phone bill and everything and making minimum wage.

Just throwin that out there.

I wear a Chaps tall tee because its the cheapest one i can find.  I can't afford anything thats more than $20 when it comes to clothing.  The most expensive thing i have is my snowpants which i paid 34 dollars for. i got a onesy from a super sale for 15 dollars but its the only outerwear i really have.  id be stoked for it but there is probably someone more deservingg

very nice site, will be checking regularly for sure. really nice to see the detailed reviews and going through good testing like standing in a shower. I would like to see the shower test again later on in the season when the DWR coating has worn off a bit.

i think you should try and find an organization for kids that cant afford nice suits or ski. through them find a kid that needs it the most. or give it away in a way that will spread you website.

i would like this suit becuase my parents got my report card yesterday and now i cant use my new skis and they are taking away everything (ski related) they bought for me. that means my jacket. so as of now i have to find a new jacket which i dont have any money for or suffer using a jiberish crew and vest.

good idea for the thread!!

dude they took it away for a reason, getting a free suit will just generate more ski stuff that you might not need as much as other people. they obviously don't want you to ski, obey them.

i dont have any use for the suit, but if you shoot me a PM i will send/show you a movie about a hotdog. its around 15/20 minutes long, filmed on a very old sony camera. i cant promise instant turnaround because i need to convert it off its video tape so i can upload it somewhere. but it fucking exists. and its fucking epic.

I am 14 years old, i have never owned a new suit in my life, i have always recieved tattered shredded hand-me-down jackets from my older brother. I have got 3 jackets and 2 pairs of pants and by the looks of them i couldnt get $50 for them all in total. I am really in need of a goodlooking suit. I would realyreallyreallyreallyreally apretiate this suit. it would make my season 10000 times better. I hope it goes to someone that really needs it.

PS Its soo rad of u too do this man! Props
