I heard he bought like 50 wool ponchos from a local flea market and that's all he's gonna wear for the next couple seasons, no pants even.

He's with K2 Outerwear:

"Athlete, artist and filmmaker Eric Pollard, famous for bringing his fluid park-style riding to the backcountry, has signed a long term contract as K2 Outerwear's first flagship athlete..."

I feel like k2 has the potential to become a company really similar to armada, only better quality based on their past as a ski manufacturer.

Ya bro, he would be the perfect fit for a snowboard outerwear company... I know he wore a holden jacket while he was in between sponsors, but that doesn't change the fact that holden is a snowboard company

really? man. i must be a day old.

line does not make outerwear and being sponsored by line, owned by k2, to stick with the company, k2 makes sense.

K2 is on a big push to be all things ski, next year they will have their own boots as well.

“I'm excited to get the opportunity to help shape every aspect of the K2 outerwear program,” Pollard said.“Working through each stage of product development is key to creating something fresh. It is easily the most well-prepared release I have ever been a part of. When we finally introduce the line I will already have been working toward it for close to two years.”

Statement by EP from the press release when K2 announced their outerwear for 2013/2014

you realize k2 makes snowboards right...

Your right line doesn't make outerwear I'm sorry. Is a sweater outerwear? And k2 is trying to get into the boot game but they shouldn't IMO they're gonna lose a lot of money within the next few years

no, k2 skis and line skis are not the same company. They share no employees, only a factory and parent company (k2 sports)

I think he still has a glove and pack sponsorship from them. I feel like K2 has the puppet strings on Dakine though. Anyone else getting that feel?

not really.

(line outerwear)

wikipedia, but k2 sports is the big company which owns line and multiple other brands.

K2 AND LINE ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT COMPANIES!

No dear I understand that, I am not 4. I mean your opinion regarding K2 losing a lot of money in the coming years. They are going no where besides up.

This. They're dabbling into the backcountry industry which is a smart move because of its growing popularity. Salomon/atomic has a bc binding but k2 has packs, skins, and i think probes and shovels? They need to make a rival for the tracker beacons imo because they are sort of more slackcountry so a cheaper beacon would be cool to see

This, all they are doing is increasing their market and being smart with the rising side country/backcountry trend. I see them getting much bigger in the next few years
