Whenever I picture a drunk asshole on the mountain he’s wearing Virtika and follows David Lesh on social media. Any further comments?

"I'm not sure if people think I'm a douche. Better buy a Virtika kit and make sure they all know!" -Chad Bro
"His post of obscene things in nature are photoshopped and hilarious just like that time he put a plane in the SF Bay. Don't be such a fuckin Karen and let's get matching kits!!" -Brad Cho
"Oh look!! Another Virtika hate thread, lemme jump on the bandwagon and provide free advertisement for this company I don't like!!"
You'd be hard pressed to find better gear for the price when they do a ~50-60% off sale.
I just don’t understand why people still hate this brand. I bought stuff from them cause they’re stuff is legit, I like it. Doesn’t have anything with the reputation in the community idgaf I rock what’s comfortable. People need to move on

I mean I try to support companies that have similar values to me and try to stay away from companies that dont. I'd rather spend more and give that money to a decent company (this applies more to small companies, not large ones that post on social media about the flavour of the month ). That being said at least Virtika is paying NS so keep buying the stuff people, I however will not.
Not really sure why virtika still appeals to the NS market. Couldn’t tell you any virtika riders / the last time they sponsored a comp or film part etc. Seems like they just don’t do much in this niche anymore

Then you don't pay attention. They used to hook up John Spriggs and John Brown real well as well as many others. Bruce Oldman also rides for Virtika and the kid is nasty look at his insta. Virtika is one of the few small ski businesses that actually turns a profit. They could have a bigger team but their not going to see that do a ton for them. Jiberish does the same thing. Jiberish never paid any of their riders even when they had Wallisch, Clayton Vila etc.

as a girl i do find a lot of what they post sometimes is sexist and don’t get me wrong i don’t take shit personally but we’re in 2020 there’s better ways to advertise your crap
I'm surprised that NS would take money from Virtika given the given the general hate in their own community for them. Hopefully this ad campaign backfires and it's just lost money for Lesh.
skiermanYO I WAS WONDERING WHEN NS WOULD GET TRIGGERED BY VIRTIKA AGAIN. I WAS BORED OF THE "SAGA SENT MY SHIT" THREADS.
When are we gonna get up in arms about the conflict minerals and slave labor used to produce technology?
That'd be a juicy thread... David Lesh is nothin' in the face of a Fortune 500 companies but shhhhh... Virtika mean, Virtika bad.
Been wearing my Volcom gore tex pants for 4 years. Still rocking them to this day!
I, also, had a pair of INI cooperative pants that I left in the states. I love those pants. Can’t believe they went out of business.
theabortionatorVolcom is pretty underrated in outerwear. Shit's pretty dope.

Yeah, I have a hard time with this. At least with the virtika gear I have had over the years I haven't had any other gear have as much bang for your buck as virtika. IDK how they even get away with putting the tech that they do in their gear and then sell it for 40% less than any of their competitors.
At the same time...david lesh is david lesh...so I'll purchase more 686 instead

Virtika has been advertising on NS since they started as first drop, of course NS is going to take their money you kidding me? NS exists because of advertisers, you think money grows on trees?
Just bought a new 20k Flylow jacket for cheaper than anything virtika sells. All while being better quality and supporting a more ethical company, stoked. Tons of deals out there with better prices than virtika...
Edit: this is for items on sale of course...just takes a bit of searching

Items are constantly on sale on the internet...just takes a bit of searching. Bought the flylow shell for $200 off evo and got my last dakine 20k jacket for ~$200 on sale as well. Not to mention that virtikas designs/color schemes are pretty trash as well...

That's a fit for sure!
Looks like some good outerwear to me!!
Ironic we're talking about the integrity of a company as we type away on our phones/computers which are powered by conflict minerals and made by slave labor.
If y'all really cared as much as you say, you'd go eat some tree bark and wipe your ass with it too.

You kids are fucking stupid. If you actually wanted to cancel Virtika and David Lesh you would shut the fuck up about him and stop making threads about him and his shitty outerwear.

I believe youre very wrong. Jibberish supports Strictly crew and some other dope skiers. On the other hand pretty much everyone good who was on the Virtika team has left them. The reason might be they only pay shitty adds instead of actually helping out their riders. I have to say I was pretty pissed earlier when they even used and edited some scenes from Lord of the Rings as an advertisment. That was wack as fuck, dont touch my favourite movie ever again. But hey, who am I to judge.

Then after Spriggs and a few other people left the team they refused to take them off the website and kept using Spriggs new footage after he was off the team and he tried to get them to stop but they wouldn't. Not sure if that thread was deleted or not.

If you really can't differentiate someone that mindlessly and habitually vandalizes nature and public spaces for attention versus necessary resource extraction that is vital to our survival. You are the typical sort of retarded "pro skiier wannabe" that mindlessly supports Protect Our Winters while riding chairlifts all season...

"Nessecary resource extraction vital to our survival."
Sounds like extreme entitlement to me.
"It's nessecary for those 5 year olds to mine tungsten, and tin because I need the newest iPhone! Who cares about those Congolese, their suffering and blatant violation of human rights is vital to our survival!"
Did you go to Clown School? Because you're looking like Bobo Barnett, a fucking CLOWN. This isn't nessecary for survival.
