acronym - too far

[Guest dontcaretoomuchforcrap]

alright, they're jackets look like great stuff. still think that the people buying it don 't really need such highly technological goods, but thats me.

anyways, anyone think this is too far?

$100 for what?

i'm with you on that one. they're nice toys i admit but i don't foresee myself getting stuck in katrina or wilma anytime soon. for now i'll just brave it with some snowboard shell... they are pretty tech already and have waist gaiters, pockets galore, breathable vents...

Limited production run, high-quality materials, made by hand. Not cheap. Consider what people pay for Bape hoodies/seven jeans/etc. Yeah the gear is expensive, but honestly, I don't care.

Very few people really *need* more than one or two pairs of sneakers, yet still they buy more.

It's not about 'need', it's about having something that is the 'best'...if you have the money. No one 'needs' a V12, no one 'needs' a Lear Jet, no one 'needs' premium grade 92 octane gasoline....

I'm so self-conscious...

All fair points, but I have to agree about the little pocket things. £60 for something that will make your bag/coat look shit whilst adding bugger-all space. I don''t think I'll be buying any of those.

jackets look well worth the money. Accessories and bags are pushing it. The designs are just lame. plus, the jackets are timless and could last a long time cus theres not alot of logos. the bags have all these stupid logos on em.

Yeah, talking about NEEDS on this site is INSANE. Nobody needs anything on this site, but we all LOVE this shit.

I was wondering bout the insane prices as well, finally got to see one of them in person, they are actually quite nice, but the cost still scares me away lol.

i tried them on at nomad here in toronto and they are just like any xcr gore tex jackets. the only difference is the name and maybe the unique designs of the jackets. they are very expensive!

i was close to getting one but it was too much when i think back on it.

the eclipse is nigh

doom, I think the design goes above and beyond other Goretex jackets. They're just so.... sleek and minimal.

They sure are pricy though....

[doom]

i agree. the gear is sick but then you look at the price and then you look at what you are really paying for : gore tex!
