Ski Gabber...that's why.

I was very interested in checking out their outerwear before I actually saw it. Kinda disappointed personally, I was hoping they would have used Gore Tex in the outerwear.

well, there it is i guess.


I'm a little bit disappointed as well. I really like dakine, but it looks like they didn't do anything special to differentiate their products in what seems like a pretty saturated market (outerwear)

Pretty much this.

They use Gore Tex in a ton of gloves, high end and lower end, but their outerwear doesn't seem to be anything remarkable.

Maybe next year?

Meh, I prefer to support the other Hood River company that makes outerwear.

I am going this route this winter. First time not having Gore Tex outerwear in a long, long time.
