No problem. Just remember, it is not always about Kzone.

 

[Glenn]

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

HA! I like that! Way better than "gaper". :-D

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

That's right. It had nothing to do with that. Trust me. :flame:

What I can't figure out is why that other fellow who has seen what we saw has not chimed in here. He is normally very opinionated.

 

[jrmagic]

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

Bacause they are all lawyers:flame:

No offense, but this comment is just plain ridiculous.

I never say things like that.

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?

Good point.

Good point.

I've got no problem with super low jeans like that, as long as the right person is wearing.them.

I actually think those Burton jeans-looking GoreTex pants are awesome, whereas actually skiing in real jeans makes you look like a tool.

I know a couple of guys that ski in work jeans, they are anything but tools ... again, could care less what someone wears, as long as they're out there giving it a go and having fun

I agree, the concept of the Burton jeans is cool, but I can't tell the difference, which negates the theoretical awesomeness inherent in the concept, imo.

If you're far away I'm sure that's the case, but if you're close to the person, like in a lift line you can definitely tell they're ski pants. I just think it's funny that Burton made a pant of something that people make fun of. They even have faux-frayed bottoms and distressed aspects on them :lol:

I agree. Those Burton Jeans pants are super awesome.

Ironically, I looked closely at a pair of the Burton jeans this weekend. They're kinda thin...and have on odd feel to them. The best I can tell, the jeans look is "printed" onto the fabric of the pants. However, the pants have a thin, almost trashbag feel to them. I'm sure they hold up fine, but they just felt odd.

Agree with the authenticity look from afar. Heck I was even looking at a few pairs they had on the rack in the base lodge ski shop at Mount Snow yesterday and side by side, just as is the case with most pairs of "real" jeans it even appears that there is some slight variance in color between the pairs!

From the lift now, if i'm going to go stereotypical and think that someone is a full on gaper, I find that I have to look and see if they're in rear entry boots and on a skinny pair of 205's before passing judgement whereas it used to just be see the jeans and bam! Gaper label placed! Damn you Burton!!! :lol:

They're a shell, so they are not as bulky as insulated pants. They're also completely waterproof, as they use gore tex performance shell. From what I've heard, they hold up very well. The whole point of the pant is that appearances can be deceiving. Oh, and that you can wear it anywhere and people won't be able to tell that they're ski pants.

Wow! You seem to know an awful lot about these pants.

So you could were these over your ... jeans! :dunce:
