Available this fall for $250.

The snowboard pants worn by the U.S. team at the Vancouver Olympics were based on one of designer Greg Dacyshyn's favorite jeans. The creative director of Burton Snowboards says the jeans were printed onto high-tech Gore-Tex fabric using a process called photo-sublimation.

They're going to sell a ton of them I bet!

And if they even a 1/2 way decent fabric/tech features, $250 is a pretty reasonable price IMHO

You need to shop Sierra Trading Post more often. :dunce:

I know I should, but I'm too impulsive when I see something in the store, and as long as the cost is under my "monthly allowance" my wife and I have a "no questions asked" policy :)
