Jack M Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Was at Sugarloaf this weekend, and I guess it was mostly condo owners because I've never seen so many Kjus jackets!! I want to walk up to these people and ask them "Seriously??" http://www.stbernardsports.com/products2.cfm/id/1653/utm_source/googlebase/utm_medium/comparisonshopping I mean there can't possibly be $1290 worth of performance in there, can there? I'm all for looking good and splurging every now and then, but this seems over the top to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckmann AG Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hard to tell from a still photo taken somewhat out of context, but it looks like that jacket has something other than a radial sidecut. I would imagine there has to be at least some metal in the ultrasonically bonded zippers, and it appears that the hood may have a bit of rocker?

tex1230 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'll be rocking this for 2010: a bargain at under $2000 http://www.peterglenn.com/node/45676?utm_source=Nextag&utm_medium=PPC&utm_term=Bogner+Magnus-T+Ski+Suit+(Men's)&utm_campaign=Shopping+Feeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I was talking to an architect in Park city maybe five years ago. The house he was building for some people from California actually had a horse riding arena. This was half way up the mountain at the Canyons resort. The type of people who like to ride horses indoors on their ski vacations, would not even notice a $1200 dollar price tag. BobD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durace Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Ok here is one my wife and I laugh about every time we go snowboarding. At ECES of 08 there were a couple of rainy days. I had the same North Face jacket for 10+ years I paid $125 at Sierra Trading post for it (total cost less than $12 per yeaar). I love that jacket but the wife thought it was time to retire it. So one of the rainy days we left the Mt. early and headed to The Shed... Now I may have had a couple IPA's... and we decided since it was near the end of the season to go get me a new coat. Well I found one I liked on the 50% off rack but it was a little more than I wanted to spend, I mean 50% off the $675 price tag ($337 or $17 per year if I keep it for 20 years) was over the top for me, since I don't spend that on clothes in a year, but it may have been the IPA talking or the wife pushing me to the regiter. I hand the lady the coat on the custom Kjus hanger, you know they give you that hanger when you buy the coat, and she rings it up. I learned several things that day... don't sign until you look at the total... don't shop in Stowe after drinking lunch at The Shed and don't assume the price on the tag isn't the marked down price. So if I keep this coat until I'm 93 it will only cost me $13.50 per year. Feel free to laugh at me at ECES this year but I won't be shopping a Stratton.

photodad2001 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 $1290 for a jacket? I'm pretty sure there are people here who have spent more. Bobdea, Tex, Bordy, they probably own +2000 dollar thermal liners for their gloves. Just kiddin' but it does seem like the money crew flaunts it an aweful lot around here. I here there are boards out now with computer chips that can actually increase the amount of stiffness to your board as you ride. This is true, but unfortunatley it really doesn't cost enough to intrest the big spenders. Check it out though, I'm telling the truth yet again. http://www.the-house.com/9872hdin10zz-head-snowboards.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJ Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I sport a Kjus jacket and it rocks, performance far exceeds my expectations. Seriously that link is bougus. Typical retail for Kjus is mid to upper $600 at the starting gate. The top of the line model known as the communicator is about $1200 but that has an interface that wires your phone to the jacket and has built in buttons on the outside of the sleeve so you dont have to pull your phone out. Oh yeh i got mine off the discount rack with the employee discount. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Because every hawt snow bunni needs a form-flatering outfit that shows off more tight curves than those her board is making ;) I would be all for thigh high hip-hugger 6 inch stiletto high heel snowboard boots and interlocking bindings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraph Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ha Ha, just saw this one on Uncrate.com. Add it to the ridiculous collection: http://www.uncrate.com/men/style/coats-jackets/ralph-lauren-rlx-aerotype-jacket/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ha Ha, just saw this one on Uncrate.com. Add it to the ridiculous collection:http://www.uncrate.com/men/style/coats-jackets/ralph-lauren-rlx-aerotype-jacket/ I would hope there is some sort of mini powder skirt inside, with that big gap at the bottom of the jacket. Still it has important features - "Rubberized RLX logo at hem and arm". BobD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Saw an entire family completely decked out the other day... The youngest was probably 8, and wearing Bogner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Going on 5 years with my $65.00 'Leftover form 2003' Sims Jacket that has more bells & whistles than I know what to do with! When (and IF) it ever craps out, I got a Brandy New, $35.00 Fleabay 686 with even more goodies in reserve. I can't imagine needing anything more than either of these jackets provide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 You're a bum, jp1. How is our economy ever going to recover if you won't spend over $75 for a coat? You just march right out and spend $1,200 to make up for your cheapness.:rolleyes: Just to make things clear... the above is sarcasm. I'm all for being sensible when spending money. I often put things into context by asking myself questions like 'how many plates of basic healthy food could that $XXX coat buy?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
