Can Skiers wear Burton?

So I was at my local ski shop looking for late season deals. I found this awsome jacket for 1/2 off and was going to buy it but then I hesitated. Why? Because it was burton. Im not sure why the ski community wont exept burton outerwear, other then the fact that it is a snowboarding company. My friend thinks its weird but I think its a great coat. Does anyone else on ns wear burton stuff?

No. Skiers to Burton is the same as garlic to vampires or good movies to M. Night Shyamalan

No. It is physically impossible for someone who skis to wear a burton jacket.

it's because of the blatant disrespect burton has showed as a company towards skiers. Hating on us is at the core of their marketing strategy.

but in all seriousness, burton does come out with quite a few sick pieces. I owned 2 jackets and 2 pants from them, and they held up nicely... outerwear (for the most part) isnt really skier vs. boarder specific...

i guess it's cool to boycott burton and support smaller ski companies but not make fucking stupid threads about a jacket you almost bought. are you 12?

Congrats on proving that Burton outerwear doesn't alter a skier's ability.
You just completely shut down all the points that people have brought up against you.


Oh wait, no you didn't.

whoever gives a fuck if you wear burton or not needs to get over themselves. your outerwear in no way shapes how you ski. wear what you want; we're all skiing and snowboarding because we love to do it and we have fun, and people tend to forget about that part.

I think its because Burton is such a big company that sponsors everything, Shaun White rides for Burton and a lot of people don't like him so they boycott Burton. None of my snowboard friends will wear Burton. They buy Technine and other smaller companies. Its better to support the smaller companies that are core and more dedicted to our sport and keep making good ski stuff.

No no no. You can only wear jibberish 4xl and full tilt hot doggers both bought with your parents money. That is all.

When you compare Armada to skiing and Burton to snowboarding. Armada is dedicated to our sport and core where Burton isnt core.

It's clothing. If you like it, wear it. Just because Burton is known for it's snowboards doesn't mean you can't wear their clothing as a skiier. That's just stupid -_-

Wear whatever you want, and if you need approval of someone else to see whatever you can or can't wear you have bigger issues to worry about.

Oakley has snowboarders on their team. Should we all not wear oakley goggles because they sponsor shaun white? Its a free fucking market. Buy whatever the hell you like without questioning if this will be acceptable in the ski community. But then again, park skiing IS mostly about how you look rather than your skill.

I wear a Ride jacket and I've only been forced to lose my virginity to ski poles twice.
Luckily those bitches can't ride powder or else the baskets would have been much worse.
