I was just about to create this thread... Holy moly this guy is definition of pure STYLE even in designing clothes.

Expensive, sure, but check out the materials it's made of and besides there are even more expensive technical outerwear pieces out there that look like shit.

I'm almost happy that my current jacket and pants are barely going to last this season, I know what I'll be getting myself for Christmas next year for sure!

I think its a really sick collection, especially with the minimal branding and details on the clothing. It also basically has everything i look for in a jacket tech wise. (Hopefully the clothes are more durable than old cts)

That shell jacket is the cleanest thing I've seen in years! When my current jackets break down I'll definitely consider this one

I'm glad people are digging it, but it's definitely not my cup of tea.

As a 30-year-old who remembers that d-spin 7 over chads and who simply wants good fitting, high performing, sustainably sourced clothing without a bunch of bullshit features crammed everywhere, this is literally the perfect outerwear

As another 30 year old skier who watched the D-spin over chads; there’s no way in hell I’m paying $750 for a jacket... it’s another Arcteryx like brand IMO...

Primaloft technology is garbage. I owned a few coats and pants with that layering; none of them held up. Wet snow goes right through it. If your gonna be blowing money on gear, get gore-tex pro layering.

I’m seeing $550 usd?.. Which is pretty typical for those materials and specs from a boutique brand.

to each their own though, as many have said said it’s not for everyone.

$670 for the jacket (€549 Euro ~ $670 USD)
A little expensive for most people who ski on here.... but to each their own.

I looked at the gear as soon as it was dropped. It’s very similar to my helly shell - 20k/20k 3L with primaloft cell phone pocket. Maybe it’s more sustainable and looks better, but I can’t justify it at this juncture in life. Maybe if Candide hooks me up with a pro deal like Helly does..
