Quick Ratings: Fit. Christmas came early this year, kids. In an earlier post, I touched upon what I ordered from Burton. Well, the clothes are here… annnnd they’re fabulous. Burton baselayers are made with DRYRIDE Ultrawick fabric so they’ll dry faster, wick away moisture and avoid smelling like onions dipped in awful. When you think mp3 player, you think iPod. Same goes for tight riding pants. If you want waterproof boot cut pants, you shop Holden. Maybe it was the bright blue that initially caught my eye. Maybe it was the “what-the-hell-kind-of-name-is-that” name. Whatever the case, Burton’s Molotov EST binding looks hawt. Weight, flex, and price are things to consider… but if the binding isn’t comfortable, you’re eff’d. I like the new Park-Specific ASYM Superstrap. The shape’s been changed and the padding [...] When the stars align and all is calm & right with the world of snowsports, a company is born. They produce wicked stylish outerwear with tech far beyond your wildest dreams. 2008 was that year. Meet TREW Gear. It’s here. Burton dropped their 2009-2010 site and it’s taken a good chunk of time to sift through it all. To be fair to Burton’s extensive collection, I’ll start with some boards. Ready… go. It’s got a soft flex pattern, increased pop in the tail and a resilient nose – seems like a decent choice [...] Jessie Vukoson chats about her new role at Nomis, what inspires her designs, and her love for Udon Noodle Bowls. Get to know her and look out for the new vibe of Nomis Women’s dropping spring 2010. I thought there was a lull in new websites, but then realized I totally forgot to peep Ride’s 2010 outerwear. Whew. Crisis averted. As a self-proclaimed gear whore, I’m always on the prowl for the next best thing, so my friend suggested I check out Nau. This company sets the precedent for other companies – makes clothing from organic, recycled, and/or original fabric, offers competitive wages, & provides desirable work environments. I’ve always been super jealous of the patterns, prints and overall awesomeness Nomis spoon fed the guys. Finally, Nomis Design is throwing us girls a bone – women’s outerwear is now available. I am stoked. Allow me to quote the fake Sean Connery from SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy: “The day is mine, Trebek!” |
