Yo guys, I'm looking for some decent quality, affordable outerwear. I would like to spend around $250 for the jacket but closer to $200 would be sweet, but I know thats pushing it. Also I'm looking for some cheap pants and right around $100 would be awesome.. if thats unrealistic just lemme know.

I'm completely fine with sales on last years things or anything like that, so just hit me up with whatever you know of. Thanks for any help and +k!

You can easily find some decent gear for those prices. Burton is a great brand for that, as last seasons stuff is right around those prices at my shop. If you don't care about brands you will easily find stuff

they have a sizing chart on the website but if I was u I would probably go with a large.
Ive got last years jacket in XL and im 6'1 slim build and it fits perfect. If you have any more questions I would probably ask Jim at bloom https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/members/profile/member_id/60330/

This, Bloom is fucking dope, I have the 2012 XL mint jacket, and a full suit from last year. (6'1 fits me nice and tall) I would recommend them to anyone

I can easily find a jacket/pant combo under 300 bucks, and in under an hour. Off the top of my head i know there are different color sessions Benchetler jackets for around 115$, and you can get the benchetler bib pants for like 120$. jacket 15k, bib pants 20k, for 235$.

If you look around long enough, you can find better insulated or more waterproof jackets and pants in your price range.

I have worn these pants for 4 years now and gone through 2 different pairs. Functional, stylish fit, 20k waterproof, and $69 bucks is the best deal you will find anywhere for 20k.

Cruise ebay every one in a while, theres always some saga floating around for decent prices and brands like burton, orage, and sessions for super cheap for brand new outerwear.

Theres a forum on this website dedicated to selling cheaper ski gear. Go there if you don't mind getting used stuff.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm kinda keeping used as a last resort because I don't really feel like buying directly from someone and I'd rather get new.. but thats definitely always an option
