i actually think the simon dumont jacket is dope along with the black rasta jacket... they have some quality stuff buddy, dont down oakley. I agree some jackets are pretty lame this year, but some jackets are still super sick

I personally think a lot of the new jackets are really sick, and most of them come in reasonable colors like black or grey if you don't like purple and orange and shit. If I didn't get Saga last year I'd definitely be looking into this year's Oakley.

i personally have no problem replacing lenses on my crowbars and i can get a pair plus an additional lens for cheaper than the airbrake, plus i think they look better. again though thats all preference.

third thread in a row where someone was chirping someone for being young. honestly why constantly make fun the future of skiing? not to say the member that made the post above is going anywhere but its so pointless, you were 15 at one time Hell look at torin, he was only 15 (still is?) and he kills it harder than 20 year olds

If the view or fit was better if shell out the money. If all I'm getting is that then I'll pass. Also the durability of that lever seems questionable if like to see what someone says about it after giving it a good beating

i really like oakleys stuff this year, i picked up the preffered jacket (simon dumont pro model) and its tight, definately like it more than the L saga I picked up and sold last year, the fits way more comfortable and better and oakley has great performance considering theyve beeen around forever

Gotta agree with OP. There has never been a year I didn't dig oaks outerwear line till this year. I think the choice pants look sick but that about it. I seriously wouldn't wear anything else. I'm not hatin on oak cause their quality is unmatched but this year....it's ugly.

I think that some people are gonna like it and some aren't but there are alot of quality jackets that come in pretty neutral colors and designs

Who pays full retail for this years stuff anyways?  Buy last years stuff at a discount.

Splices and Crowbars will be around longer than the Airbrakes, just a better design.  Oakley makes enough gear that they kind of have something for everyone from the snug-fitting Sethmo gear to the baggy Dumont Corked stuff and everything in between.  If you don't like, don't fuckin buy it.
