eheethis trew good kit? or should i just go with trusty flylow?
bonus: peak performance...? or a bit too euro wanker?
N41v131355From bibs perspective - i had both Trew Trewth bibs and Flylow baker bibs. Trew with derzimax is definitely more waterproof, lightweight and tech-y, while Flylow bibs are more robust. If you are skiing park only, I'd go with Flylow - they will serve longer. However, what I really hated about Flylow fabrics is that they are not good at water-proofing and snowflakes during powder days are sticking to the material, making the soak even worse.

NattyNineyeah not sure what you're talking about in terms of waterproofing issues on the bakers.
Flylow going on season 3. Sometimes they appear to hold moisture but it never gets in.
N41v131355well, idk, maybe they impoved dwr, because my bakers are like 5 yrs old model, but I tried ironing them to restore DWR, I tried Grangers, I tried Nikwax - nothing helps them. Well, maybe I overreacted by saying "soaking" but after half of a powder day my baselayer is all damp. I just started using them only on park days and 3+ days after snowfall
