honestly, people do that all the time. no one cares, and 95% of the time no one can tell that they are even a different brand. to everyone else they just look like black snow pants

Wearing merchandise produced by a snowboarding brand constitutes an automatic 3 to 6 month ban from NS under section 3 article 4 of the Newschoolers rule book.

Sorry man, we just can't go and let you buy quality gear for a reasonable price like that. I rock some 686 pants that I've been very happy with, I say it's whatever.

Doesnt matter to me. Only thing is, if you're a skier, why not support skiing brands. Why not try to make a skiing brand bigger? Burton is a major company that caters to snowboarding. I got FD pants for 68 dollars. Support a company thats dollars go
back to skiing. all i gotta say.

buying something from the bst isn't really helping with a ski company's sales haha, but anyways. Wear what you like, if you're happy with em then nothing else really matters.

The only pants I had made by a company that sells skis is rossignol. But yeah no one cares. I think most pants made now days are even specified snow/snowboard pants.

I'd say try and support a ski company if you can but you also have to be realistic. Not everyone's parents buy them their ski gear.

I have mainly snowboard apparel with the exception of Patagonia and Causwell. I have nothing against ski companies but the product and image they produce isn't cutting it. I find it funny that people are so caught in supporting "ski brands" it's just another company.

I hate 9/10 "skiing" outerwear companies, and a few snowboard companies because they think for some fucking reason outerwear would be way sicker if it was really tall, and had no width at all. How is someone like me with really broad shoulders and a long mid-section supposed to wear that shit?

I started wearing Technine outerwear last season and it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for as someone who strictly rides park these days, and it's super cheap.

Anyways, the moral of my story is the people who actually care about "skiing" and "snowboarding" outerwear brands are just douchebags and weskend warriors, as stated above. Deals are deals, so wear whatever the fuck you think is best for you.

I have some Convert pants that I bought back in like 2001. They used to be my only snow-pants and I still bring them along as a back up pair. I've never been confused with a snowboarder and I've also never had the desire to 'convert'. I think you'll be ok wearing Burton.
