08/09 Outerwear preview

We're back from SIA and super excited to share some of next year's outerwear with you girls! The overarching theme for this year is more stylish and better fitting pieces for the ladies. Now more than ever, there is no way we will be confused for 13-year-old boys while on the mountain. From fun prints to sophisticated cuts to a sexy looking pair of bib pants (no really!) we're super stoke about next year's lines!

Betty Rides

We love Betty Rides for being so fully committed to women’s riding and style. This year, we can add the environment to that list. They've added a whole line of outerwear that contains recycled materials. And as a bonus, it's totally cute! Betty Rides also delivers with their more technical lines featuring great colors and fits.

686

This year for the 686 Times collaboration, we have a pairing with on of the ultimate brands in fashion: Levis! This collection gives traditional American denim looks a twist by combining them with 686's forward thinking snowboarding gear. And the rest of 686's stuff looks cool too.

Monix

Mission 6 launched an all new, all girls outerwear line called Monix for next year. Monix features fashion forward styles, colors, and cuts to allow girls to look rad both on and off the slopes. Our favorite thing? They managed to make a pair of bib pants that somehow look modern and sexy! It's like something you would see on Project Runway! No more snow down the pants for us!

Rome

Continuing on their mission to become the new snowboarding empire (What, you thought Rome was just a clever name?) Rome celebrates the 08/09 season with their launch of their own outerwear line. Happily for all of us, the results are great! All of their pieces have decent tech and good style, easily transitioning from mountain to street. Our favorite? The sailor-inspired pants. Love!

Holden

Holden continues to provide their distinct fashion forward gear with looks push the envelope on traditional snowboarding gear. A mix of subtle and bright colors, heavy and light fabrics, and awesome new technology have us totally stoked. This year, Holden is using c_change (http://www.c-change.ch/), a new membrane technology that reacts to different prevailing conditions, balancing out both temperature and air and body moisture. Holden also has a few new awesome prints this year, including their fantastic and sophisticated skeleton one.
