Bibbs are BBack?

They've been back for a few years.
Yay Maddie!
Why won't the videos show up in Chrome?
Man those look stupid. How are you supposed to see the tricks if it looks like a wadded up 50-gallon contractors’ trash bag flying past?
I'm not a fan of the new look, but I've seen worse Olympic uniforms.

Well, they never 100% left but only saw a few new styles and the usual beginners with older versions still out there from decades gone by.. Like the Onesie, they haven't been mainstream for awhile, just a few niche sources. I would expect after the games the new style bibs will be HOT and everywhere next fall. i.e. BBACK!

"The North Face wanted to make the uniforms custom for us by using images our parents supplied... which is something you don't see in a regular jacket... it's custom"
Gonna guess his career after skiing won't involve organic chemistry (unless it involves thc/cbd).

Someone thought these were a GOOD idea?

Its the Freestyle crew. That's what the kidz wear these days.
Here's a look back at some of the uniforms from a 2014 article.

I like this look.
It's clearly deFORM over function. In America we can dress pretty much how we choose, but there are some things that just look too uncomfortable and anti performance for me to ever follow those trends. But heck, they can still rip way better than I ever did with those performance obstacles so power to them! I wonder of the pants grab will ever be scored in the DOD for airs???
Those old school stretch pants were pretty decent to ski in, they supported your muscles and looked surprisingly good if you were in decent shape. I had an expensive pair of nice ones and wore them for years, all kinds of weather, really very good performance for "old fashioned" fabrics and technology. Paired with some side zips you could handle anything.
Wool sweaters are pretty versatile too. Not in white but those Demetre padded ones weren't bad at all and you did get to feel like a bit Supermanish with extra arm muscles. It was the cotton turtlenecks we had underneath that sucked.
Dang I even miss the CB Sports pullovers and baseball jackets. Marker safety strap just under my knee to hold my tendons in place lol.
I know all the goofy neon one piece stuff didn't come until the 90s but here in the NorthEast, even at the peak of the 90s, I still bet the most popular colors were Navy Blue.

The whole pants-dragging urban jail culture applied to modern snow sports is an ironic joke... perpetrated on the parents who pay for that junk.
