Style above comfort?

Have you ever chosen to look cool knowing it will affect your comfort? wear those way to tinted goggles on a foggy day, riding pullovers in a blizzard, sagging your pants so much you are struggling on getting your turns right, or even just gone totally crazy and done a no glow day?

common, i know you all ain't perfect.

I pay the price every time I ski for the ridiculous lenses on my crowbars.

I got them really on a real good deal a few years ago, they look awesome and am too cheap to buy a new lens so I suffer in the name of beauty.

Style is key. But I have to say, I'm comfortable wearing bagged pants and tall tees and all that stuff. It honestly feels better.

I wear a Spyder jacket from 1998 that has arms that are too short and snow gets in them all the time. There's no hood, so I'm always cold. The bottom of my jacket is too short and I get snow in there too. the bottoms of my tight Bogner pants don't fit over the top of my boots, so snow goes in there all the time too. My neon headband doesn't provide the warmth that I need, but it's hot pink. The flip side is that there is this awesome red stitching on the back of my jacket of a spider, so i stay looking fly when throwing daffies. I have another problem when my eyes start watering because my blade sunglasses don't shield the flowing air. But that's just the price you pay to look dope as fuck.

I thought this was going to be a thread about comfort of actual skiing/body movement. The difference between what most people call style when doing a trick and what feels most natural to you. I feel style comes when you are comfortable with skiing and doing the tricks you do. But i guess my question would be.... how many of you alter your style (referring to body movement not comfort) for whatever reason sacrificing actual flow and comfort while riding?

Actually you're the fucking gaper. If you think someone is a douche for wearing whatever the fuck they want then you are a self-righteous asshole.

I ski leaning forward, and stomp my tricks so why can't I wear a hoodie? Actually a better question to ask is why do you fucking care.

NegromancerYeah because he is actually a good skier and can pull off supper baggy look, but when you can't even make a proper carved turn yet you still wear XXXL stuff you look like a douche.


Sh4dowNo but when I am about to ski a really gnarly line in view of the tram I wait for a full tram.


Sooo what's a proper carved turn? Did your European ski coach teach you the 'proper' way to ski?
Just go fast, stay in control, and have fun. 'Proper' skiing is for 'proper pricks'

Nope. Sorry skiierman wannabe, I just don't get making fun of other peoples clothes. Now I wouldn't condone inappropriate clothing for the conditions, but I wouldn't condemn them either. You sound like a Grade A shithead.

I went to a rail jam one day and forgot my belt. It sucked hiking so much, and having to pull my pants up every ten steps but I looked super steezy.

function over fashion.


that being said - I do like to get my party on in my 3 piece suits that I get for $10 from thift stores now and then. Cost of looking good, you know? One of these days I'll get a proper tailored suit and I'll be both fashionable AND comfortable.
