kinda like the Saga love thread, I like the nostalgic factor of old gear, but it kinda is better than the new stuff even ten plus years later
but imo not much new ski gear is as cool as stuff used to be
I'm not even talking about park stuff, but general gear the average joe wears
back in the day there was so many cool color combos and mix and match patterns that everyone would wear, nowadays everything seems to be one color, and a lot of monotone kits are what I see a majority of,
Are there any Brands out there still putting out cool stuff? everything seems so plane nowadays, yes lots of trendy brands, such as harluet, arsenic, jibskin, etc are super baggy and look sick, but they lack a lot of the unique fabric patterns and colors , and even number of pockets or adjustable straps and vents that old gear used to have.( I'm talking saga gear, simon dumonts' kit and the Oakley pro series, fd wear kits, old jiberish stuff) don't get me started on the "water resistant" shells all these brands sell, that get soaked through instantly
I've started to just buy people's old gear, as I find that it is more unique, looks cooler, and has better features than top shelf products today
anyone else in the same boat?
