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?

if your looks really matter that much then your skiing for the wrong reason

ever notice that snowboarders do not wear ski brands?  Support brands that are involved with skiing.

you don't need acceptance of other people to do what you want. if you like it, get it.  Haters will hate reguardless.

I wear Bonfire stuff ._.

Though, I snowboard AND ski, so I guess that works.

Burton likes to put the leg zippers on the inside of their pants, which when you ski w/ your feet pretty close together and use self widened FKS brakes, can make for some pretty exciting switch landings when my feet get locked together. I'm pretty sure this is a plan of Jake's to kill skiers, but i'll take my chances cuz my white Analog Pants w/ the assim knee patches are hella dope.

Got my Burton jacket wicked cheap, so yeah, I wear it. Honestly though, it doesn't really matter what you wear.

I'm going to wear a Burton jacket, Volcom pants, and shred 3 feet of pow tomorrow. Think I can do it, or will my outerwear hold me back? Maybe I better shred my GF's snowboard instead.

I got 70% on my foursquare jacket and 50% on my ROME SDS pants.. I wear snowboard brands but who cares ? I like them and nobody said anything about the brands.

yeah, that's how i feel about it. i don't care what anyone else does, but as a personal integrity thing I won't wear any brand that doesn't support skiing and sponsor skiers

Who cares, just a company, even the messiah tommy whamburger used to wear burton. I bought burton AK shit a few years ago, performance wise it's great, just isn't the most durable
