True, I mean I bought a tall t hoodie two years ago and it was $60+ I’m pretty sure and I wondered why it was that much but didn’t really care, I supported the brand and like the product. I mean, there’s bogner shit that’s $1000 for an ugly kit, and they don’t really contribute much to skiing except flood rich people into it, unlike tall t, and DB who are both actually helping promote unknown kids, other brands etc.

Skiings not cheap and people forget that.
