Outerwear in park

This is my first post on newschoolers and I love this site. I was wondering what jackets I could find that are good for park skiing. I'm interested in brands like lethal descent, saga, 686, and armada. If you guys could tell me where I could find a decently priced jacket from one of these brands and your review on them. Any other ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

At least he is asking what the best sort of jacket is and not what looks best like all those other guys haha.  And I say just go to a local shop and try on a bunch and go with whatever is the most comfortable

go to goodwill and pick up a hoodie a flannel. Wear the hoodie as the base and the flannel as the outer. If its a warm day just wear the flannel.

You have to be careful with what kind of flannel you get. If you get a wool flannel thats fine but not all flannels are made from wool anymore. Fuckup and get a cotton one and youll be hurting all day because its just doing to suck up all the moisture and hold it.

Go to your local ski shop

And make sure it's warm. Nothing sucks more than a cold jacket!

If you can, support your local shop.

If you want to support the true core freeski community, then buy a freeski brand like saga, armada, ldc etc. from your local shop.

For the rest, just have fun

Check out Ride. I know, it's a snowboard brand, but we have them at the shop I work at and I have never tried on a better fitting jacket. Most likely picking up the Admiral or Newport as my next jacket.
