Going snowboarding yeah? First time yeah? Threads looking a bit tired yeah? Well I've had my fun this month and I feel like some new kit so I'm trading up and selling some of my current stock:
£80 ONO Analog Optic Jacket, White, Size large
Great jacket, pure white, simple details and an oversize fit. I'm a 42 chest in a suit jacket and a medium/large in tee shirts/jumpers from most outfitters. Jacket is in great cond as I barely use it (ask anyone I've been boarding with) and is a hardshell in thick fabric with taped seams. Features usual snow skirt, pass holder, key holder in pocket, sturdy zips and iPod pocketed with headphone outlet and loop plus a funky paisley lining.
I've had some success in snowboard photography and have spend 4+ hours in blizzard conditions sat waiting for people to hike up a hill in this and I was dry and warm.
£30 Bonfire 'Particle' Pants XL (approx 36")
Worn for 1-2 trips before I got my Canadian yellows, again great condition with 1-2 small scuffs. Again warm, dry and toasty with inner lining, gaiters, and fleece arse. Ample pockets front and back, key/pass ring front, belt loops and bonfire's own popers that integrate with their own (and some other's) jackets. I'm usually a 34" waist 34" leg and they fit me grand with the usual purposefully oversized feel.
£25 Anon Helix Goggles White
Pretty standard entry level goggle in pure white with black band and low-light (UV filtered) lens. I'm only really listing as it goes with 'the outfit' as they're perfectly fine. One scratch to lens on bridge of nose, unnoticeable to my eye.
£20 Bern Baker Helmet, Grey XL (up to 62cm noggin)
Selling again as it goes with 'the outfit', matching the trousers in matte finish grey. Fits 56-62cm noggin but you need to factor a beanie (it's a little small with a thick hat for me, resting slightly too high on the head). Sink fit and velcro'd up ready for the warm inserts but I use this both for wake boarding and snowboarding so I don't bother.
**£120 'The Outfit' **
As you can see the stuff above forms an outfit as the jacket/goggles and trousers/helmet form a monochrome black/grey/white number that (subject to opinion) is relatively timeless.
I'll upload some pictures momentarily but, you can see the jacket in play here:
I can post or deliver to London, Bristol or Bath.
