Syndicate outerwear casual hate thread

weastcoatI agree with you they’re not the most original style of clothes but idk if I’d make a whole thread about it lol. This is coming from someone who already likes to make toxic ass threads and Posts here and there.

bbw.enthusiastyeah no doubt, dont get me wrong i like that they support a few dope riders like sam gnoza and kellan baker but otherwise i cant fw it at all

weastcoatRespectable. I just don’t understand why people shit on companies in this manner even when they didn’t “do anything wrong” like it just kills their livelihood so bad. That’s just me though.

RAcecARmanI believe op has some valid points here. I really would like to know who started the brand, who owns it, and where they manufacture their stuff because it does look like some shit from a cheap Chinese manufacturer with a logo tossed on it. They give me cariuma vibes so i did some investigation and didn't find much. I could be super super wrong and they could be nice but it seems sus

Skiblade420I still don’t understand the Montec hate. I get that you don’t like the people that wear it, but what’s the issue with the outerwear itself?

Can someone please point out from a design perspective what’s wrong with it? I used to do graphic design work / still work in a design field. The graphics / colors and cuts of the gear look to be aesthetically nice.

Like come on. You guys hype up the look of such ugly saga gear while shitting on the look of Montec.

Am I missing something? Montec looks nice.

THE-Albino*The people who wear Montec are the main issue. They always gotta tell you they wear montec. The clothes are alright I guess but it’s more about the social hierarchy it imposes. Same with dope snow

BigPurpleSkiSuitI am nearly positive I know the people in the saga pic

Skiblade420Montec pants - 150 to 220
Harlaut pants - 170

I just find it funny everyone clowns the stuff because they consider it too expensive, yet it’s not much more than the freaking massively impractical harlaut balloon pants we all love.

Not to mention people who have vishnus always have to talk about them.

people always have to flex their on3ps which are expensive as heck too.

keagan.karstensI think Derek has the right idea but the shape and sizing of the pants needs to be tweaked, I see a few guys at bonezone wearing them and they just look superrrr tight. Like Luke O’Brien had the blue ones on and they were practically hugging his legs. If that’s the style Derek wants then there’s not much to say but overall if you want them to sell I think he’s gonna need to change them. Or at least throw in something new and exciting besides the fact that theyre made for park. Because otherwise they’re just another slim fit ski pant that people will continue to avoid.

edit, I think sometimes hate threads can be okay. Like this is a good example, he feels a certain way about something and is curious about other peoples opinions. He didn’t jump out the gate saying “fuck syndicate, syndicate sucks derek should quit and never make outerwear again”.

CatdickBojanglesMontec is influencer gear.

CatdickBojanglesAnd have you seen Montecs team?

Skiblade420I’m more attracted to support brands that give back to their sports too (having a team).

But hell, if a brand makes a nice looking product, it’s still a nice looking product.

I don’t think it’s lame to buy their stuff.

Quip toothbrushes were also marketed by influencers, but hell they work good and look simple.

I wouldn’t bag on someone for using a quip.

bbw.enthusiasthard to support lame looking outerwear with wack fitment because they hook up a good skier or two

Skiblade420Yeah I don’t care if saga solves world hunger I ain’t wearing that floral garbage.

Christian_BaleA lot of saga stuff is ugly. Most of us wouldn't deny that. But saga has done a lot of cool stuff in skiing. For instance, the last time TAFT came to my mountain Saga contributed a bunch of prizes. I don't see any redeeming qualities in montec personally

Jemsi was all about that shit when i was 14 then quickly discovered how fucking ugly it is. i still wonder every year how virtika is still in business.

Skiblade420Yeah but that’s not the point I’m making.

Here’s a comparison -

I am more likely to buy a black Amazon essentials sweater that fits well (Montec)
because even though it’s soulless, it looks nice.

than an awkwardly fitting sweater that says “live laugh love on it” from a company that donates a tree for every sale / has community clean up events. (Saga)

I guess the point I’m making is that if you want to support more core brands then cool… but to clown on a brand because its more commercial is a bit ridiculous if it looks way nicer than the “core” brand you’re claiming looks sick.

If someone wants to rip on montecs lack of real community involvement / values then go for it, that’s valid.

what irritates me is when people say it looks bad, meanwhile they’re sporting the ugliest kit imaginable.

Skiblade420Yeah I don’t care if saga solves world hunger I ain’t wearing that floral garbage.

+TbernatovichI would rather rock Syndicate over these cut and sew pants I see ppl wearing looking like circus clowns

CLQThese are fire, where can i cop?

Christian_BalePersonally I'm not clowning on any brand for being commerical. All I'm saying is I wouldn't wear montec or saga cuz I don't like how they look

SchoessEven if you don't like their outerwear, they're not the bad guy. Never forget that Orage is the fucking bad guy.

Skiblade420Please explain

Skiblade420Please explain

SchoessLiterally out of nowhere, terminated EVERYONES contracts and abandoned ship to completely turn into a different brand. Including B Dog. OUR BDOG. No one does that to my B Dog and gets away with it. Fuck Orage. Imagine if Armada just dropped their entire team and turned into a race ski brand.

(There were a lot more athletes too but I don't remember the whole team.)

ZachRyanYa they dont seem to have much information about this, some chump named Storm on their chat was not very helpful...

SchoessLOL. Call in and question them about it.
