im off snowboarding south of france at the end of this month, first time, never been before, and i need to get all the gear... i've seen spyder jackets etc in certain shops for 600quid!!! can this be right? Are these like super-duper designer brand or something when it comes to boarding? i've seen um for 100quid or so on ebay.
maybe someone who's into snowboarding or skiing could shed some light for me on whats what ?
