My story of the day...

Well, I've been looking into buying some DNA gear for a bit, and so I went to TandL today in hopes of buying some snowpants. So, I'm checking the price tags on a sweet pair of silver snowpants and saw that they were about $300. Kinda hot... but I was still seriously considering gettin' em. Then, I saw this sweet black jacket, and realized 'Hey, maybe if I get pants and jacket, the price might be a little better'. Then, I checked the price tag on the jacket, and saw $900. Damn... a little hot for pants and a jacket for sure. But I was still thinking. Then I realized... HOLY FUCK! That $900 was for the jacket only. What the hell? With tax that's what, about $1000? for a freaking jacket? last jacket I bought was $400 and I thought that was pricy. What is the world coming to?! What are we paying for these days... the name on a jacket? maybe a bit more comfort? Jesus Christ man. Well, thats my story. Props to you if you read through it all.

Descente high end racing and coaching jackets go for major coin.

Really nice, warm and waterproof shit though.

Jesus, even 400 for a jacket is insanely stupid I think. Under or around 100 bucks should be enough. Anything over 100 is just rediculous.

I generally cap out around 150 or so. 200 if the shit is really quality.

Heh, yeah it is in Canadian dollars, but I mean still... thats ridiculous. Sure the jacket was steezy, and comfy as hell... but I mean, it's still nuts. And I was asking the guys who worked there things like 'Do people actually buy shit that expensive?' He responded 'Yes, people buy it in a heartbeat, without even asking any questions.' Somehow, I find that hard to believe...

I've had my DNA jacket for 3 years now, their shit lasts. It's really a solid piece of clothing, it was worth all the money I spent.

Hmmmmmm, Karbon jacket for 2500? Most I've ever seen was a Karbon race suit for a little under 800 I think. That's intense if they got a 2500 dollar jacket going. Usually, they only have like 1 or 2 of those out, targetted for the rich old folks.
