Search barred and nothing.
What are your guys thoughts on it?
Yay or Nay?
I kinda like this jacket design but I feel like they aren't really bringing anything new to the table...

Saw their stuff at SIA... nothing really stood out for me

Didn't take a whole lot of risk their first year, but since it's DaKine they already have a massive number of accounts and it won't take long to grow their retail base

I think I heard something about them working with GORE-TEX® for next season... I'm sure like all companies their stuff will get progressively better over time

What? You get prizes and outerwear. Fuck they're way ahead of the game already.

thank god there's another company in the outerwear market. i feel like they're really addressing a void that wasn't filled by the other 932 brands making fucking coats.

definitely a profit oriented initiative, not that that's a bad thing, but it looks like they're really trying to appeal to the same people who shop at dicks sporting goods and still think burton is an underground brand
