Their prices are pretty low compared to the rest of the market. Wondering if anybody actually has one.

Here is the flow chart to buying DOPE clothing.

Are you an influencer or social media whore that just likes posting pictures of you skiing----> Buy dope

Are you a skier who loves skiing and supporting brands that support skiing----> Don't buy Dope

Their stuff is cringe it’s just like the other brand Montec. All influencer garbage, it’s cheap because it’s mass produced in a sweat shop. I think skiers/snowboarders should be supporting skier/snowboarder owned brands but that’s just my opinion. Trew and Flylow are two options that are definitely a little less expensive but are still quality.

Good looks. I had a feeling this was the case since it was an instagram ad.

I got a montec piece and it’s not that bad. It’s decently water proof I think I got the typhoon.

it was a gift, probably wouldn’t buy for myself tho.

If you really want a dope jacket from a company that actually cares about skiing buy Harlaut Apparel

I’m an east coaster. They appear to just have glorified hoodies.

wear an hoodie underneath?

if you want a semi-tech jacket from a core brand caring about skiing check out bloomouterwear and their remaining stock

an other brand supporting skiing and core athletes is 686

also TNF is supporting skiers like Wallisch, Jossi, Ranalter, etc.

Heh. I’m not riding that express at okemo without some insulation. First chair is around 10 degrees all too often.

I’ll check those other ones out though thanks.

I saw a guy today with matching montec jacket, pants and gloves. He also had his goggles under his helmet with the ear pads still on (which I always think looks so silly)

I have to circle back because when I was in NZ, I was working for a shitty cheap British outerwear company called Mountain Warehouse. We had the cheapest gear in Queenstown for sure. The amount of Mountain Warehouse I saw at Remarkables and Coronet Peak (and even at Cardi’s) made me want to puke. People just buy cheap shit. That’s the reality

Dopw snow and montec actually is absolutely same product as I reseached and googled.

It was made by ridestore.com shop, absolutely same product but just branded differently.
And Im thinking they just stole some design from CLWR and some other brands, and decided to earn more money not just just doing resale but producing clothing themselves.
