North Face Enzo Ski Pants

thanks for the feedback. I spend a lot of time in the glades as well so that is my concern. Unfortunately with the economy the way it is my budget is tight so i guess I will hold off on the RPK jacket and keep my eyes peeled for when a pro shell product is on deep discount if ever.

Wait for the summer. I always see ProShell jackets on sale on backcountry, Sierra Trading Post and other online retailers. After discounts, the ProShells are still steep but they sometimes knock down as much as 60% off. The other problem you may have with summertime shopping is size availability.

I don't work for Bean but do a lot of shopping there: they discounted the ProShell Ascent jacket 2 years ago when they discontinued the green colored jacket. $300 for about $150.

I normally wear a hot Chili long sleeve shirt and my ski jacket shell. If it's below say 20 I will add on a fleece pullover.

Pants are normally just some thermal underwear and the pants, and but this is my first time with non insulated pants.

^ Sounds like a good system.

Apparantly I was blind this summer cause I didn't find any lol.

^ It's hit or miss. Last summer was miss. I was also on the lookout for a jacket but no deals came up. Someone on AZ pointed me to a sweet deal on a ProShell bib on Sierra. At that time, I was in the midst of buying a surfboard so my precious dollars went that way. Sometimes, I have to wait 2 seasons before I get the gear I want. You have to know what you want and swoop in at the right time.
