[...] I love outerwear so it’s no surprise that I tend to get more outerwear than I need. This year I’ve acquired a mix of outerwear between 686, Analog, DC and Neff to add to the collection depending on the time of year. It’s a good assortment for the varying conditions, from warm to cold days and with enough mm ratings to keep me dry even though Colorado is pretty dry. The majority of 686 pictures are here and the Analog/Neff/DC pictures are here. [...]

@Lee

The Tazer was mine before Shay stole it from me and I think I only wore it once or twice on snow. That said, it’s a good jacket for all but heavy and cold days. It also make a good off snow hoody. The only thing I didn’t like about was the full zipper through the hood. Kinda weird, but not too bad.

Yeah I really like 686, I’ll let you know when Dave has a sample sale in Denver again then you can check it out and get it for insanely good prices. Marshmellow on top is sweet! I layer it up under my jacket each year.

Yeah definitely shred, you should hook up with Lauren, Adrian they always leave from Denver to ride alot! Then I meet them when I can, definitely when you travel to Steamboat lets go ride!

We should be there this weekend, waiting on the plan but definitely look for bright snowboarders.

I need to try some 686. I have to layer up like a marshmallow on top but on the bottom just prefer the uninsulated pants and a thin baselayer, I feel like it moves better. We TOTALLY need to shred this coming season… I go by myself a lot so I’m always looking for people to ride with. I might or might not make it up to St Mary’s on Saturday but either way won’t have a snowboard instead I will have my boyfriend who is visiting for the weekend but its still a gorgeous area to hike around…so maybe I’ll see ya up there Also you have to remember the invite to stay here if you ever need to crash in Denver!

Yeah I’m surprised my stuff goes well together so far, I thought I would look like christmas for some reason.

Awesome you got the bright red pants too Kristi! We are definitely going to shred this winter!

I try to get uninsulated pants, usually I get the 686 smarty pants and the inner pant comes out right away to become pajama pants. I get too hot with insulation, a nice breeze is nice.

I have bright red pants too…score for red pants! I have a pretty bizzare collection of stuff to snowboard in, bizzare meaning there is no rhyme or reason and generally I do what you do…put on pants and a jacket and go. Do you wear insulated or uninsulated board pants?

Lee, Yep it is! I got this on my last day of resort riding and I haven’t been able to take it on the mountain yet so I can’t compare until I get some days in. It’ll be coming with me to Hood and any summer riding I do, so far I like it and I’ve worn it around town when it’s cold enough out. My friend Jay who gave it to me, wore it when we went riding and it seemed fine for him. I’ll have him come leave a comment to help answer your question.

JT, yep when we ride together it’ll be the rainbow bright posse.
