Their organic/recycled clothing is an admirable choice but to support a brand that does more to support freeskiing, I would pick up some planks yeti hunter Bib pants that use repreve recycled material. It’s on sale and is more waterproof at 20k/20k compared to the picture 10k/10k.

The Yakumo bibs are probably the least Jerry-ish piece they have in their collection. Although they're getting better, with more Earthy colors lately.
It's the brand Euros used to buy when they want the "freestyle" look but wanna keep the racer-dad bright color pattern.

FaunaSkisAll I know is you see plenty of jerries wearing Picture in Europe.
Their organic/recycled clothing is an admirable choice but for a less Jerry look, pick up some planks yeti hunter Bib pants that use repreve recycled material. It’s on sale and is more waterproof at 20k/20k compared to the picture 10k/10k.

As a brand ambassador it might behoove you to be less critical towards other companies gear.

I think Picture has some pretty good looking stuff, some other lines are not my style but as a consumer I'm happy when companies make a variety of different products for different buyers. Note: I don't own anything XXL or shirts, hoodies, jackets that hang down to my knees.

I can't relate to picture being a jerry brand in europe at all. But it would be nice if more people would purchase brands which doesn't destroy our environment.

If you like the look, go for it.
They might be a brand bought mostly by Jerries over here, but their stuff is usually pretty technical (waterproof seams and zippers, great insulation, good media pockets, wristguard, 20K/20K, etc, etc) and very well made.

You’re right. My point was, years past it seemed they weren’t marketing their product to freeskiers, as such those I had seen in it weren’t freeskiers. They make a good quality, eco-conscious product. If you like the colour ways, fire on.

Picture is my numer one choice for skiing clothes, because it's one of the few ecological options. We definitely need more of those!
I do own quite some picture stuff (Jackets, Gloves, Pants), and I'm happy with it. I had to replace my gloves after 3 seasons, but I'm afraid that would be the case with any other brand too.

Also, Picture supports quite some athletes that I wouldn't call jerrys:

So I also can't agree with the statement they aren't doing anything for freeskiing.

Picture is huge on using recycled materials and keeping their carbon footprint low. Their outerwear isn't like most companies in terms of colors and such, but their quality is fantastic. I lived in Switzerland for 10 years and Picture is super popular. Its great outerwear and the message that they are trying to promote is great too
