My dad has a jacket from 1979 that is still going strong. What is the oldest/ most durable thing that you have ever owned?
Moment Reno Jibs from like 07, they are urban skis now but they still rip.
moms poles from when she lived in tahoe as a teenager. she's 59. They are the perfect length, and have awesome grips. Each one is bent, they've been repainted multiple times, and they both have unoriginal mismatched baskets, but they are perfect feeling while skiing or in the lift line.
was on some bamboo yardsale poles last season, finally upgraded to panda poles though, otherwise, I think the old pair of twins I used a little last year were from 05-06 ish
right now it's probably my spy platoons from a few seasons ago. may nave to snag a new lens or something since these ones have a couple good scratches in them

Are we talking about ski equipment here?
Mr.HuckAre we talking about ski equipment here?
Yeah this thread should be in gear.
these were my skis 2 years ago:
Line maverick circa 2003

Op's mom is the oldest/most durable thing I have ever used.
My pocket rockets used to be rental skis and they're still kicking
I also use these black poles from the 90's
This Lacroix monoski is mounted and actually still used by me.
I must have a death wish or something.
Sweet ass 1980's rear entry nordicas that smell like mothballs. Unfortunately broke the last pair. So nothing super super old anymore.
Super old SPKs I pulled of some old race skis... those things are fucking epic
Dalbello krypton rampages from 2010. They have over 300 days on them, havent replaced one single part. Now would be the time for new boots tough, since i cant even take the liners out, or they would rip a part. A bitch to dry those boots..

I have 08's that I still use as my everyday ski.
Got a pair of salomon 1080's from 07, they're pretty spent but definitely still rideable

this makes 0% sense haha

Still using the same boots I love them. I do wish they were a bit stiffer my style of skiing has changed quite a bit much more all mountain now but im only 160 lbs so its not a huge deal.
Only thing I need to replace on them is the rubber heel piece.
the pair of bindings (rossi axial2 120 scratch) that I have mounted on me rock/early season skis (rossi scratch BCs from 06). i first got them in 2006 for my scratch FSs (ones with the police tape haha) these bindings have been on 6 different pairs of skis haha, still going strong!
also, I still have a pair of SPK boots from the year they first came out (07/08?). this season i'll prob get new boots, as it'll be the last i work in a ski shop...
I have a pair of OG Hellbents and 06 Seth Vicious that make great rock skis. Those things are fun to click into every time.
My dad still skis his leather Asolos sometimes.
He also still skis his wooden cross country skis a lot.
i have a pink one piece from the 70's that i still wear for fun sometimes.
I have an old patagonia base layer my dad bought in the 80's. Probably the most comfortable piece of clothing I own. I don't ski without it
One pair of my fks I bought from someone used about 6 years ago and im sure before thart they were used a ton.
I have a super old pair of random smith goggles. Wicked dark lense and super scratched but I couldnt ski without them
Ryan_HansenYeah this thread should be in gear.
I thought at first this might be about screws, plates and other surgically installed hardware.
still using the same poles I got with my first pair of skis back in 2002/3ish. They're Exel poles, don't know the model because the paint is looong gone. no bends or breaks, tough ass carbon fiber!
I also have some Lange boots from 2006 that I'm still rockin'
stock up on good gear while you're in high school and your parents are still willing to dish out some dollars for it, once you get to college you're stuck with what you got!
07 i think k2 extreme poles , the best of the best for park
The_Woat2006 scott p4s, they rip still and they look sick
Wish I had a pair of those bad boys, such a great looking ski. This shot from TGR has been my iPad background forever:

Those are so sick! There is an old toyota truck I see around with almost exactly the same color scheme. J-skis should do a pow ski with a similar graphic

Topsheet looks amazing to. The other model year P4's don't like as nice though.
I guess it'd be my beacon. It's close to 10 years old now. I'm actually replacing it this week and before coming to this thread I was debating as to if I should just get off the couch, head into town, and buy a new one right now. I think I am going to wait until tomorrow though.
So I guess as of tomorrow my Bibbys from 09 are the oldest thing I actually still use - they are officially going to become my rock skis as of tomorrow - getting replaced by a pair of Blizzard Bodacious.
AT-ATI have 08's that I still use as my everyday ski.
Yeah, They are the shit, one of my favorite skis I have ever owned.
my two pairs of 747 equipes. hands down the best binding ever made. and they are older than i am (25 years old)
I have the original armada AR3's (given by a friend) laying around in my garage, haven't used them for anything but the old summer setup though.
my current Orage pants are the oldest thing i use frequently. got them a few years ago from another newschooler, think they're probably a 2008 model
Nacho_Macho_manMy dad still skis his leather Asolos sometimes.He also still skis his wooden cross country skis a lot.
I still use old leather 3 pin boots for cross-country and touring. I think my mist recent ski is a pair of 2006 ar5's
seesawsaredeadlyI have 12 year old Lange boots
I am not sure thats healthy.
My dad has a yellow REI day pack that he has had for as long as I have been alive, it has to be at least 20 years old. He still uses that thing when in the backcountry and needs to carry more stuff.
I have one of the first 30 pairs of ON3Ps ever produced... from like, 2007 or something. They have an edge crack underfoot, but besides that, are still good to go. I want to put demo bindings on them so people can experience history.
I have an ancient pair of Goode poles. Composite, made in the USA, I cannot destroy these poles. I get the feeling I will have them forever
I have a jacket that my dad took from his dad when he was in high-school so, like thirty years old? I think? It's super rad, gortex, I skied a bunch of days in it last year
pussyfooterOne pair of my fks I bought from someone used about 6 years ago and im sure before thart they were used a ton.

shitballs, read totally wrong. Im sorry for that nonsense
Still use my dad's old Dana Designs pack from the 90's for backcountry day trips. Hands down, best packs ever made.
'09 Icelantic DaNollies I got brand new 4 years ago. Marker Griffin from 4 years ago along with my oakley jacket and snowpants, and nordica double six boots
Same ski boots since 2005. Too comfy to change, they fit like gloves
