Technical features and street styling are standard in ’03 wares.
Dialing in your gear is like working out an algebra problem-when one number is off, the whole equation turns whack. In most cases, the majority of homework and dollars go into things like boards, boots, and bindings, but what you hang on your frame is what makes or breaks a day of riding.
Common and fashion sense are working together in ’03 like never before-today’s rider-specific outerwear has infinite technical features, while keeping in touch with streetwear trends. Michael West, founder and head designer for 686 Enterprises, says snow apparel is “heading toward cleaner, simpler, and smoother lines, while supporting riders with realistic, functional, and stylish pieces.”
This year’s snowboarding apparel has everything you need, plus some-pockets and stashes for your technology, sustenance, and currency-while still remaining streamlined and sick looking. The added bonus of this year’s hot trends of puffy jackets and denim is that kids in the know can bust straight from the slopes to the street.
Pro rider Keir Dillon knows what’s up when it comes to dressing for the ride down. He told us, “Outerwear makes your day. If you’re dry, you’re stoked. If not, you’re over it for sure. If your gear is tight and looks good, you ride that much better.” Even the pros agree, style and function are where it’s at.-Liz Randall.Note: Ladies, turn to page 254 for women’s outerwear.
