Outerwear Update
0It appears outerwear sizes this year have changed slightly for some companies. I’ve noticed that 686 has eliminated the XXL sizing in most of their jackets with the exception of a few lines. The economy and situation has been tough, so I’m guessing that orders for sizes in the XXL range were slim last season, and as such they’ve cut some patterns out of production to ease costs etc. I’ll be adding Helly Hansen, and FourSquare to the outerwear sizing pages, as both companies are still rocking the larger sizes in most lines. Look for some outerwear updates shortly as I get some reviews put together.
Absinthe Films Neverland Premier
2This evening I ventured out to the Neverland Premier from Absinthe Films. Shay from shayboarder.com got me a ticket, for which I’m ever so thankful, because the show was sold out, and honestly, the video was insanely great! I just want to touch briefly on the film and the premier.
Burton ICS?
5So today I had a discussion again, about the Burton ICS system. I’ve ridden the system previously, and don’t want to post a review about it yet, as I feel I need to ride the system again. It’s definitely an interesting system, and I do have to give Burton their dues for attempting to innovate in an area, where there’s definitely room for innovation. I’m curious if any of you have any thoughts on the ICS system? If so, I’d love to hear any feedback from you guys out there. I’ll ride them again this season and post a review using the Burton Custom, a board I consider an all around badass, consistent board.
