What kinda gear are you talkin about?

I like sprockets, but not gears so much.

Doesn't matter. Ski gear, bike gear, bondage gear, climbing gear, hiking gear ...

 

[deadheadskier]

Me - yes
wallet - no

[Grassi21]

I have a problem....

 

[Trekchick]

I do, There, I said it!!!

 

[bigbog]

gear...

Most gear makes the things I choose to do easier on the body, agreed...not great for the wallet..*EDIT: ...but in agreement with billski, I am a minimalist @heart. Do not choose gear that adds on bulk/weight in a major way.

 

[Terry]

Yes I am a gear whore.

 

[Paul]

I like sprockets, but not gears so much.

I'm a "Cog-Guy" myself...

 

[billski]

no; I'm minimalist.

however, If I wore no gear in the winter, I'd be even more minimalist!

i like gear, but i just don't buy much of it. i have friends that tend to have a lot more gear than i do, so i live vicariously through them. works for me.

I hadn't bought anything new but goggles, gloves and socks from 2002 through 2007. In the past two years I've bought a whole bunch of soft goods, 3 sets of skis and bindings and new boots. I blame all of you bastards and yes, that is a personal attack! :lol:

I voted Huh...I like having the appropriate skis. When I first started skiing, I rented skis and my ski jacket doubled as a winter coat..I didn't have ski specific gear. I like having good gloves, Steezy Blue Oakley A-Frames for the bright days..and Rose colored for night skiing..and on my feet I like boots that aren't too stiff or snug..I've been there done that with the Lange race boots which off great performance for carving but to tight..Jackets are important and I have only had three ski jackets in the past decade...two heli hansons and a Oakley..the local ski shop has a good sale in August on leftover merchandise so I might hit that up. Gotta be earthtones but a little steeze thrown in and a zipoff hood..I never liked the feeling of having a hood fly behind me..too much drag..and I ski too fast that if a little wind gets under it..it flys off..even if it's tight..

Pants..gotta have cargo pockets..for my wallet, keys and steeze on days when I don't wear a jacket which in the Banana Belt of PA is pretty often..

Ski-socks..you get what you pay for..Skiing is the only sport I spend any money on gear so I don't mind dropping $$$ from time to time on it. To me, buying ski gear now that you aren't gonna use until November is torture..and my Blowers are staring at me right now..I never thought I would ski them so much at Blue the True but they plow through the crud and sugar piles a heck of alot better than my skinnier skeeze..
