They make shitty outerwear first of all. Second I don’t think they sponsor any serious athletes whether skier or boarder. They’re a sub division of a parent company that has other lame brands too. Looking on their website they’re staff pictures are all wearing the same pair of googles… do any of the staff actually partake in winter sports? Idk. Hit me with your thoughts and opinions ns
TOAST.Honestly don't think there stuff looks that bad
It’s less about looks more about the brand as a whole.. Like why support a non-rider owned company that doesn’t do shit for freeskiing when you could pay like the same price for some armada shit for example. Also heard from people the gear isn’t warm or water proof whatsoever.

I get that for sure. Was just saying I don't think they look that bad since a lot of people were commenting on the looks. Can't wait to get a shit ton of montec ads now.
I had a pair of their pants and they were a joke. They had flaps for back pockets, but no back pockets. Like poser back pockets. I posted this in a review for the pants on their site, and those fuckfaces deleted it. Fuck them.

Their whole online presence is a bubble of fake positivity and I fucking hate it. I made this thread because I wasn’t even sure if people like them, there’s no online criticism/hate. The answer is clearer then ever now, montec is whack…
Ya’ll would be surprised by the amount of flatland Jerrs and Kooks who’s existence is literally based around trends/ looks/ etc.. And they go to extreme lengths to fabricate the appearance that their lifestyle is batshit cray/ and or Unique when in reality they are extremely mediocre, average joes.
These are snow sports version of “Supreme” “Bape” and other Hypebeast brands.
Hype Beasts are like cancer doesn’t matter if they are a COBB accessport hypebeast or a Dope Snow hypebeast. Their mind isn’t in performing well it’s all about Looking good. It hurts skiing and snowboarding because they are the ones likely receiving attention that these brands crave for money.. despite the fact that they are extremely mediocre or even completely terrible skiers.

general skiing fashion trends look ugly to me, i get a boner when i see some baggy pants with a baggy hoodie and a nice black giro ledge, im a simple man also do those “skiiers” forget that no matter how good u can look if your goggle gap is bigger than my dicks size your always gonna look like shit
GrandThingsThe jackets aren't even that bad but holy shit literally every other person at the resort has them now.
I don't understand why people would ever buy shit off an instagram add. Like bro, you know that shits getting piped out by an algorithm to 300,000 other people. Have an original idea for me one time
I was gonna say, from a quality standpoint there’s definitely WORSE out there, but there’s obviously also way BETTER. I see Montec and Dope literally everywhere I go now, shit is spreading as fast as Covid. Saw a group of like 9 high schoolers at gunstock last week, 4 were dudes with the same exact dope snow hoodie and 5 were girls with the same Montec jacket it was a sight to behold for sure

Montec isn’t even trendy. It just garners the support of the skiers I try to dodge on the hill. All these pizza sliding nutcases on runs they shouldn’t be on. Gaw, when someone pizzas in a pow field, I cry. Wasting so much good snow.

No though. Once upon a time, Supreme was one of the preeminent skate brands. Core af etc etc etc. And now they're doing whatever the fuck fashun but at least it's coveted shit of mostly OK quality most of the time. And resell prices reflect that, whatever else you think of the brand. It's luxury.
Montec is the opposite. There's no luxury, no clout, in or out of the industry, no perception of quality or exclusivity. Montec is the Zara of skiing. Cheap, accessible, disposable.

Here in euro land is considered cheap crap for 11 year olds who get stoked on the word ‘DOPE’ . There is also a brand called ONESKEE, again if this hits you boys stateside run like fuck in the opposite direction
The stuff looks nice, it's got good colors and a cool minimalist cut.
Many who are not really into the sport have to choose between super expensive technical stuff for everest missions, some rossignol jacket with fur on the neck that your mom would wear, and baggy stuff that doesn't really cater to them because it's not 2005 anymore.
Montec gives them modern style for cheap and that's all they need .
Can you really blame them?
I don't really trust their 20k waterproof claim and would rather support some more involved brands, but when my friend that skis maybe 3 weekends a year asked me why she shouldn't get montec I was hard pressed to find an answer
I have never seen a skier or boarder that actually looks cool in one of those ugly as dope hoodies. Like bro you’re not snoop dogg find a name that isn’t already taken by a smoke shop you jerry.
This community is so retarded. Caring more about what you think is "core" or a "jerry-wear" and what others think about your kit is so superficial and whack.
Just wear what you personally like and what functions. Isn´t the freeskiing community supposed to be open minded?

Amen. Theres been a new thread of brand slander ever other day it seems. I wouldn't buy Montec or Dope but there is also no need to label everything as 'core' or not. Have your own style.
The designs aren't too bad but they are just shit in quality and expensive. Also the only good skier ive seen wear montec or dope snow is jesper tjader

I don’t think montec and dope are hideous, but I’ll never support a corporate company that bought its way into the sport and sells to the least informed members of our community while taking money away from companies that actually support the sport.
Fuck montec and dope, all dope sponsors is jesper and I bet it’s because the marketing team saw some of his redbull shit on youtube.
Maybe if the company pumped money into the sport instead of instagram ads I’d respect them. Their whole marketing scheme is to look like a core company to beginners that don’t know better.
It’s the same shit with Cariuma and skateboarding. You can’t buy your way into a sport unless you sponsor dope (haha) athletes and create value for the community. This is why skaters are okay with nike.
bE mOrE oPenMiNdeD yeah we’re open-mided enough to see that dope and montec are pulling some whack-ass bullshit. Fuck them. Buy from a real ski company.

-DanMontec and Dope are actually the same company. And a case study for the success of clean appearance and general appeal with a targeted ad strategy on google/meta. https://inside.ridestore.com/the-ridestore-adventure-na
I was gonna say both the websites are almost exactly the same and the clothing has basically the same elements as well lol
I thought it was kinda cool styling at first until the past year and a half of dumbshits from Chicago coming up to do gaper shit on my home mountain really killed it for me

SchoessArmada makes quality shit and is a company deeply rooted in freeskiing. They charge a lot for their 3 layer gortex jacket because it's cream of the crop. They make really sick $200 jackets too. You can't compare them to Montec or Dope. They have proven their worth, durability and loyalty to skiing.
Idk bro Armada's outerwear quality is pretty questionable imo. I had the 3L goretex jacket from a couple years back and it fell apart way too quick. The goretex material was real nice but the zippers broke way quick and the powder skirt ripped out in like 30 days. Cuz the powder skirt was glued in instead of actually sewn in. Pretty shit for a $450 jacket. I got a decent warranty refund for the jacket but still took forever and they refused to fix it when it really wouldn't have been an easy fix. I love armada's skis but don't trust the outerwear. I'm gonna stick with my dad's old TNF jacket that has hundreds of days on it and is in better shape than that armada jacket after 30 days

I’m only buying a nice ass goretex jacket if it’s arcteryx, maybe LLbean but even then idk

That's interesting. I've never had the 3l jacket, but I have 2 other jackets and have had 4 pairs of snowpants over the years. Always enjoyed them and have had good luck with durability!
I ski meadows a lot and the only guy I’ve EVER seen wearing dope snow was a dick. He was all braggy about his snow tires and made fun of me for having to put on chains, like dude some of us still use our moms station wagon to get to the hill
