i went back and checked out that article thatr showed all of the coats and pants that siver is putting out this year. i get down to the comments and everyone says ' looks good and vcery affordable' or 'not too expensive either'. scroll back up, check the prices. am i reading the same thing as everyone else? 140$ for a pair of snow pants? i dont have that kind of money. honestly, how many people can just drop 140$ on a pair of snowpants that mill more then likely rip and might need to be replaced next season. on to the coats... look very sick. 200$. let me make a list of things to buy with 200$.
x-box
PS2
game cube
bindings
plywood(to make rails and starting ramps)
skateboard
inline skates
air hockey table
television
dvd player
weed(if you smoke)
put it towards a car
seasons pass.lifyt tickets
boots
buy the whole entire siver cartel outfit, youve got $300+ droped right there. i bought my halfpipe for $300
My point is, why the rediculous prices? yea they may be cheap in comparison but overall, is it? bring the coatrs down to 140$ and the pants to $50. then we will talk

OH COME ON, what new outerwear can you get for less than that?(im talking about 04-05 shit) plus what do you expect a new company will have to charge more but i will support a company dedicated to skiing and maybe if enough people buy them theyll lower the prices. and come on i would never buy pants for 50 dollars bc that would mean quality would seriously be lacking. damn a pair of jeans is 50 dollars come on now

You want to see high prices? Check out North Face and other's like Patagonia and stuff. Mainstream outerwear like that is muchos dollars.

i got a black dot coat for $100. its comfy, practical and not hideous. pants are a bit tougher but...
im not paying over 100 for snow pants to be replaced every year
if they were fifty, id buy new ones every year.
quality is not always reflected in price. for instance, ive got some 20$ airwalks now and they last me a year before they get torn from skating. i garuntee you that DC's do the same thing for 50$ more

what's the point? siver's outerwear prices are pretty consistant on average with any other company's retail prices.

What? 200 for a jacket is expensive? No... my outerwear's worth about a grand altogether. You're just being cheap.

ok, think about it if you're on the hill almost everyday you only wear one pair of pants most of the time. yea $150 is worth it. Maybee you should play a poor kid sport, like thumb-wrestiling

i guess nobody is quite understanding me. i agree in comparison that its a reasonable price. however, why does it have to be that price? if they really want to sell shit, drop everything $50 and i garuntee you that it will be the most popular brand for coats and snowpants. kids will see the prices being 50 less then others and buy it, i know i would. then, hopefully the other companies would need to lower them to compete. i guess i feel like all of the coat companies have unofficially set fixed prices. whatever though, im done ranting in this thread and you can all attempt to convince me that $150 for a pair of pants is cheap. all i can say is that for 150$ they better be gold plated and with a diamond studed belt

^ if u drop it 50, their overhead and production costs are going to almost encompass the PROFIT...im not saying its 75 dollars to make this gear, but c'mon...150 for pants is LOW compared to what u can find...hell my SMS pants were 250 retail, thank god i got em free or else i woulda said 'fuck that'....140 for pants really is a bargain compared to everything else out there

You gotta see the prices as business... the company needs to charge that much, for one to make money, profit, and two to compete with other companies. Plus don't you think a high price usually high quality follows?
Thats also why you buy stuff on sale.

^yeah oakley is horribly expensive, i saw that oakley jacket that seth has and i had a couple hundred bucks in my pocket to get it but it turns out to be 425 dollas and the pants arent to far behind at 240, crazy! i can get stuff with oakley logos on it in the dominican republic for 1% of that cost! They have reasobly priced goggles but their jacket costs are just crazy, next to those oakley jackets the siver one is priced like a flea market item
and more, much more than this, I did it my way

My jacket cost me 360 and my pants cost like 200. Im not a rich kid either, so don't go playing that card. I worked my ass for something I really wanted, and I can easily say that my stuff is worth every penny of what I paid.

thats cheap compaired to 95 percent of compainies out there. They have to make a profit. Plus, if they drop there pants to 50 bucks K-Mart will start selling them

I got a convert jacket for 150, but sivers stuff isnt a bad deal at all compared to some of the other stuff out there. i have seen ski pants for 200+ bucks. I am definetly getting me a pair of siver pants because they have to be wicked strong because they are made by skiers so they should last a few years

if you want cheap stuff, buy a pair of slush pants, and cut open a garbage bag to wear as a jacket. There ya go.

Siver prices are good compared to oakley and other major companies including guys like Burton, Special Blend, FOursquare, 686

If you want waterprof, breathable, well desgined functionable outwear, good luck getting something for 50 bucks, it's not possible, it'll just be cheap ass shit. If you don;t have money like most of us, keep your panties on and wait till the end of the season when you can snag some resonable prices on stuff.

I often use a trash bag when I go hiking. I always take a trash bag with me. some people look at me like I am homeless but my box holds up just fine
