Okay, so it's a bit late in the season, but 60% off everything at
the Westbeach webshop for the next 6 days...
Bloomin' bargain-tastic. One of the best bits of boarding kit I bought was a pair of Westbeach troons. Lasted me years!!
same here, my westbeach boarding slacks still going strong some 12 or 13 seasons of holidaying later.
boarding slacks
🙂 I like that phrase.
New slacks ordered, cheers!
Just ordered some gear for my son as he starts his snowboarding lessons next week. Cheers.
I got myself a pair of those Cockalorum slacks and they are superb. Really well made and perfect fit. Chuffed with them for the money.
SportPursuit have the same stuff on sale [i]slightly[/i] cheaper at the mo.
Dezzie, do you mind me asking what size (#strangest etc) and how they sized up please?
Cockalorum is one of my favourite runs
thanks
Not at all sir.
I bought a Large and they fitted nicely with plenty of adjustment either way with the velcro tabs on the waist.
If you're between sizes normally, go for the smaller one.
go for the smaller one
Story of my life mate. 🙂
😀
Awesome...slacks, jacket and four pairs of socks for £150...bargaintastic!
Thanks to the OP. 🙂
Mine too.Cockalorum is one of my favourite runs
I love WestBeach. Everything I've ever bought in Canada has lasted years and many skiing seasons.
Ordered Friday, free delivery, arrived today. Obviously haven't tried them in the real world but the quality seems excellent, which I expected from Westbeach anyway. Unfortunately they're going back in the bags till next year 🙁 Thanks again OP.
Can get the Cockaloram slacks for £42 on Sportpursuit now. They've got a 20% off vouchercode, which I will supply to anyone who emails me 🙂 (I'll give you a link which you can use if you choose, to give me a fiver off).
Other Westbeach items also available.
Tempted by another pair of troos meself, but I DO NOT NEED THEM!
I ordered another jacket today. 😀
Jacket, slacks and socks purchased! My first trip this season on Friday so I'll be looking dapper on the slopes. Cheers for the PSA.
Mrs NBT's jacket arrived yesterday. Mostly pleased with it but rather dischuffed at the complete and utter lack of a lift-pass pocket. This is supposed to be a "boarding" jacket yet there's no securepocket on the left arm when *every* list I've seen in europe for the last 12 years or so has used an RFID proximity lift pass. There's not even a "flip-up" pocket under the hem for a photo-style season lift pass as used in North america, or a d-ring for the day pass tickets they use. just amazed it got sold when it's not got what I would consider *basic* functionality.
Yep. Sadly pretty common oversight in my experience nbt.
Is there one lower down perhaps hidden by the powder skirt?
Every jacket details I checked had it so surprised they've made one without. I wouldn't have bought one without that feature listed though. Bit crap that some jackets are still being made without that functionality. Some of them are "hidden" though aren't they?
My Burton slacks (which the Westbeach replace) had the pocket high on the leg. Sometimes meant a twitch of the knee to get the 'beep', but not bothered if my jacket doesn't have one.
Most of the jackets seem to have lots of front pockets and details:

Which is nice and all, but ime they always get snagged and beaten up by backpacks, camera bags etc
The Back Country one quite appeals as it has a much simpler front and is 20/30k proof:

But no mention of a lift pass pocket and I'm not a fan of the colour.
🙁
That first one is a pullover. Weird!

no, we've checked all round. It's this one
http://europe.westbeach.com/p-666-victoria-tundra-plaid-jacket.aspx
and comparing it, all the others say "Hidden pass pocket to left cuff". That one doesn't. Never even occurred to me to loo for something like that - just assumed that any jacket meant for skiing / boarding would have it 🙁
Dez- sent you an email about the discount code
I'm on it 🙂
Cheers Dez, £180 Findlay jacket for £60 delivered, result!
Cheers to the OP as well.
Holy thread ressurection..... Did anyone buy the Back country jacket? Or does anyone have it and care to give an opinion?
