Very psyched to get on the mtn and try out these new threads from the folks at Turbine Boardwear
After thrash testing the TB products, I'm 100% sold !!! Turbine puts alot of thought in to style and value!!
I have to say that since the Bristol Mountain Freestyle team has switched...we've been getting a ton of positive feedback !!
The Lexington jacket (insulated) offers up more pockets. If your like me and have tons of "widgets" to carry..it's perfect. Plenty of storage space, and a nice handy fold down "pass pocket". In case of a POw-Pow assault there's even a nicely stashed zip out "powder skirt". Hope to get to use this feature more that's for sure!!! ;)
As a coach there's often quite a bit of stand aound time...the Lexingtons insulation if perfect. Excellent warm...plus well placed (easy to operate with gloves) pit zip vents were an added plus on those sunny day half pipe hike sessions.
Removeable (helmet friendly) hood...the weather on the east coast can be so variable, this feature is HUGE. Another nice added touch is the wrist glove sinches. Allows you to rock your glove steezy or practical.
In the pant department we chose the Greenwich. Now this style deff bucks tradition with a fresh looking "jean pant" design. For the team we really felt this was a big deal. Everyone is rocking the plain black pant look. The Greenwich pant offers, front and back zip pockets, velcro front zipper snap. Shredded pant legs are a thing of the past with a nicely tailored rear cuff to avoid "edge shred" I also really like the adjustable inner leg gator, made putting pant on and offer effort free. Warmth is excellent, did'nt really have to bust out any major base layer even on a few of the negative east coast snow seshs. Water repellence...with in reason these pants held up the the dredded east coast "snain" really well. Would I say wear these in a down pour...umm probably not.
If your looking for gear that looks fresh and techy, but will not break the bank...Turbine Board wear is your choice !! Thank you again to the folks at Turbine for all their support of the 2012 Bristol Snowboard Freestyle Team.
Enjoy the snow, hope to see you out on the snow!!!
