Denim looking pants

[legalskier]

Used to be people would snicker at someone in jeans on the hill. Now they're all the rage.

What happened?

My son always gets compliments when he wears these:

 

[Ski the Moguls]

I have only seen one person wearing "denim" snow pants. I would not exactly call him trendy. :beer:

 

[Tooth]

Burton made them for the last olympic snowboard team. If you want to wear jeans on the hill do it but theres no way Im paying $300 for them. I saw a middle aged guy wearing them. Looked like a fool. Sad thing was he thought he was cool. SPORE.

I know him well and he is quite trendy, let me say.

Are you sure? It is not the same guy Tooth is talking about I hope.

 

[skiersleft]

Yes. Sure. Quite trendy, and no, not the same guy. The guy you saw is very much in tune with recent fashion. Trust me on this one.

Why is it that the people who feel the need to say "Trust me" are the people I have the least confidence in trusting?

Didn't the US snowboard team, at the 2010 Olympics, have what looked like jeans and CPO shirts?

In fact:

In the seventies I had a pair of Levis ski bibs with a chest pocket styled after their back pocket.They were made out of synthetic to look like denim. I rocked them, but looking back they were way ugly.

Because "Take it to the bank" lost its cachet?

On that note, those people that always say "...And to be honest with you..." - so everything previous was a lie? I never understood that expression.

 

[Eski]

you guys got to be kidding right?
I never knew there was a proper dress code for making turns, I give credit to anyone who makes the effort to get out there and could care less about what they are or are not wearing :roll:

 

[Glenn]

I don't see many people wearing the jeans pants. I don't think they're as popular as many had thought they'd be.

I'm with Eski... I always ski in jeans (the $10 Walmart variety), and am always struck by how many comments I get. Wear a pair of sweatpants under them, like I do, and you're fine.

I do find style changes pretty interesting. Like the super low pants. How is that even remotely functional walking, let alone on a ski slope?

 

[SIKSKIER]

I say they still look better than those stinkin fagbag one piece.

the boots keep them from being a tripping issue, although I do get a slight chuckle from the wet arses on the boarders ... common sense is apparently not so common

 

[jaywbigred]

I still identify myself as "younger" and will admit I am a tad image conscious: my helmet needs to have space for Buckeye stickers, and my pants best not be black or gray. Otherwise I don't notice most outfits, but I do notice gaper-ish loing folks...which is why I never understood the Burton jean pants. They look too much like jeans, so its hard to tell the true hardcore jean wearing gaper from the (allegedly) hip fashion plate. Nothing like mistaking a $300 pair of Burton's for a $18 pair of Old Navy's! No bang for your buck there...

spore is a generic term, not just reserved for the guy who uses it on kzone.

Skiersleft and I were playing off an inside joke that had nothing to do with any of that.
