i mean...look at it.  If it wasn't 1200 bucks i'd snap it up in a second.

Hmmmmm, looks too much like a drysuit to me. But whatever suits you, i guess.
Nice colours anyways.

when you think about combining an arc'teryx jacket and pants, it's really about the same price-wise...and the quality is there.  beats a 200 dollar hoody for value.

You'd match the bases of the VCT's with that thing. $1200 tho? What makes it special?

same. I love how everyone makes fun of gapers and their one piece neon suits and yet look at where we are now. in 20 yrs we'll be looking back amazed we all wore this stuff. but hey, style is style and if you want to wear it go ahead.

I guess if you have ever skiied in nipple deep pow you could see how something like that would make sense. I would rock it if someone gave it to me.

Soft shell one pieces? Man what a way to freeze on the hill for sure....FOR SURE. I think they are cool in the fall, or when its a little chilly, but over - 20......well your balls would turn into a vagina.

I think the problem is that there are so many gapers skiing in Indiana that rocking the gaper neon colors isn't cool, because you blend in with the herd.

i don't see the point in wearing a one piece outfit that's colored like a two piece.  seems counter productive to me.

Hi... why would waste your money on something like that (unless you're a filthy rich bastard) when you could buy something even nicer from Orage.  It's still nice though.

Orage is not nicer.  Sorry.

Arc'teryx and Patagonia are on par and they don't make anything this interesting.

Their stuff is so bomber.  Have seen both their stuff and arc'teryx, seriously their stuff is at least as good if not better.

They put aramid fabric in their pants to make them basically rip proof.

A dude on TGR has their jacket and pants set up, took a fall at Kwood over a bunch of rocks where he had to get a bunch of stitches in his back, messed himself up pretty good, and the jacket and pants were basically completely ok.

If I could afford it I would totally wear their shit.

because you dont want frostbite on your back, but you still want to look like your wearing two pieces of clothing?
