I'm pretty sure that's actually an astronaut's suit without the helmet

I bet whoever designed those was bullied by snowboarders when they were a kid.

Straight outta NASA

NASA spokesperson said "We wanted to give our athletes a little more boost of the jumps. I mean, can you even quad wearing your normal gear?" There has been very little testing done with the new uniforms but NASA believes they are 96.5% safe. "The biggest issue will be keeping the riders from using all of their thrust at once. These suits are designed to have enough fuel for a full slopestyle run with a small reserve tank. If a rider panics and uses all the boost on one feature, the results could be catastrophic."

Well boys and girls. If you ever wanted to see somebody transfer from the side take offs of feature 6 to the sochi halfpipe, this might be your lucky day.

Stay safe out there fam!

TNF did a way better job, I feel like these Michelin suits will slow down the boarders heavily

legit about the space program and its influence, I wonder when the space goggles will be released. Or if it's just a helmet with full visor.

Am I the only one who fuckin loves these? They are better than the ski uniforms in my opinion. They do look a little goofy but i think the snowboarders will rep them well. To me, the ski uniforms look super boring and unoriginal. I would buy one if they were available to the public

Obviously NASA was the theme here. I think the snowboard stuff nails it. Its a bit goofy, but so are snowboarders. I bet they will love this stuff and get really into it. I would. On the other hand, I think The North Face totally missed the mark on the ski stuff... Its unoriginal and boring. It looks like the the Tall T Fam and a bunch or off duty ski patrollers had an orgy and thats what came out. Then they slapped some NASA-esque letters on that betch and called it a day.

As wack as the snowboard one might look I still think I'd be super tight to see some American huck a triple wearing a spacesuit. I think it looks tight tbh but I'd have to see it to truly believe it ya know?

To be fair the fartbag is just an addition to the collection...not what the athletes will be shredding in. That being said, the actual jacket/pants look swag as fuck. Far more fresh than the TNF kit IMO:
