The problem nobody talks about (until you’re soaked)
If you ride park, you already know the script: your favorite loose jacket and pants look perfect in the morning… and then a noon squall or sloppy spring slush turns them into a wet sponge. You overheat on the chair, freeze on the next lap, and your cuffs start to fray from tow-ropes and edge bite. That’s not a style problem—it’s a tech problem.
Most “baggy” kits are built like fashion, not like outerwear. We set out to prove you can have both: the drape and stack you want and the storm armor you need.
Meet the fix: Park DNA, Storm-Ready
Instead of chasing adjectives, we built the case: a loose, park-first silhouette that’s engineered to handle slush, rain, and surprise dump days. Think 20K/20K-class waterproofing, fully taped seams, lasting DWR, mesh-backed vents, and rail-day reinforcements—then cut it all in a relaxed/baggy fit that stacks clean over boots.
We call the recipe Storm-Ready Steeze—and it powers every jacket, pant, bib, and mid-layer in the line.
The 4 pillars of Storm-Ready Steeze
1) Stay Dry for Real (Not Just on the Hangtag)
-
20K/20K-class membrane + fully seam-taped construction
-
DWR that keeps fabric from wetting-out and getting heavy
-
Powder skirt + jacket-to-pant interface and bib gaiters to block blow-in
Result: You can lap rails in slush, then follow friends to wind-loaded stashes without soaking through.
2) Breathe on the Chair, Not Like a Sauna
-
Mesh-backed pit and leg vents that dump heat fast (without snow blasting in)
-
Breathable liners that wick sweat so you don’t chill on the next ride up
Result: Warm-dry, not hot-wet… which means you stay comfortable all day.
3) Built for Park Abuse
-
Reinforced cuffs/instep to resist edge cuts and tow-rope burn
-
Bar-tacked stress points + YKK zippers where cheaper kits fail
Result: Your hems, seams, and zips make it to day 100—and beyond.
4) Fit Confidence (Get the Stack Right, First Try)
-
Height/weight sizing grid and try-on guidance
-
Same silhouette across pants and bibs (choose storage/seal vs. quick breaks)
-
Easy exchanges if you want to tweak bagginess
Result: The look you want—without return roulette.
A day in the life (proof over promises)
10:05 AM — Park laps: Loose drape, maximum range of motion. Vents cracked for the chair, closed for the drop.
12:40 PM — Weather flips: Wet flakes and wind. Powder skirt snaps to pants; bibs seal at the chest. You keep riding.
2:15 PM — Off the sides: Those wind pockets fill up. Your kit stays dry; cuffs aren’t shredded by the rope tow.
4:00 PM — Lot lurk: Still warm, still dry, still steezy. No emergency hoodie change. No soggy regrets.
“Baggy = Wet” is an old myth. Here’s why ours isn’t.
Myth: Loose gear means cold, wet, and bulky.
Reality: The silhouette doesn’t decide performance—the construction does. Our shells use 20K/20K-class protection and fully taped seams, then add vents and reinforcements where park riders actually stress their kit. Pair with a low-bulk synthetic mid-layer and you get warmth without the Michelin-Man look.
Bibs vs. Pants (you can’t choose wrong)
-
Bibs: Best storm seal and chest-pocket stash. Ideal for deep days and learners who tomahawk.
-
Pants: Lighter feel and faster breaks—perfect for spring parks and high-output riders.
Both share the same relaxed/baggy block, reinforced cuffs, and mesh vents. Pick your vibe; keep the performance.
The lineup (one kit, whole season)
Shell Jackets (2L/3L):
-
Park-first cut, 20K/20K-class waterproofing, fully taped seams
-
Powder skirt and jacket-to-pant interface
Insulated Jackets (Body-Mapped):
-
Low-bulk synthetic where you need warmth, mobility where you don’t
-
Perfect for night laps and deep-winter resort days
Pants & Bibs:
-
Relaxed/baggy drape that stacks clean over boots
-
Reinforced hem/instep, mesh-backed leg vents, boot gaiters
Mid-Layers:

Grid fleece and lightweight synthetics that layer clean under shells
-
Warmth without puff, easy to dump heat when the sun pops
The skeptic’s corner (answered)
“20K is marketing fluff.”
That’s true—on paper—if the seams aren’t taped or the face fabric wets out. Ours are fully taped and treated so water beads instead of soaking. In plain terms: stays dry in spring slush and storm mix under normal resort riding.
“Baggy fits overheat, then I freeze.”
That’s a ventilation problem, not a style problem. Mesh-backed vents move hot air off your base layer without letting snow blast inside—so you don’t sweat-soak and chill.
“Park gear shreds on rails.”
Cheap cuffs do. Reinforced hems/instep + bar-tacks on stress points are there for exactly this reason. We designed for tow-rope days, not just bluebird selfies.
“Sizing is a gamble.”
Use the height/weight grid and try-on guidance to pick your stack (true size for relaxed, size-up for extra baggy). If you want to tweak, exchanges are easy.
How to choose your set-up in 30 seconds
If you ride park 70%+ and chase storms when they hit:
-
Shell Jacket + Bibs + Low-Bulk Mid-Layer → maximum range + storm seal
If you lap all-mountain and hit features on the way:
-
Insulated Jacket + Pants → warmth on lifts, vents when you start hiking
If you live for spring slush:
-
Shell Jacket + Pants → mesh vents open, light mid-layer or just a base
Why this matters now
Weather is weirder. Spring comes earlier, storms hit harder, and resorts blow man-made when it’s dry. You need a kit that adapts: one you can ride in the park, take into surprise weather, and still look right in the lift line. That’s what “Park DNA, storm-ready” actually means.
TL;DR — What you get
-
Loose, park-first silhouette that stacks right over boots
-
Real weatherproofing (20K/20K-class + fully taped + lasting DWR)
-
Vent where it counts (mesh-backed pits/legs)
-
Rail-day durability (reinforced cuffs/instep, stress-point stitching, YKK)
-
Fit confidence (height/weight grid, try-on guidance, easy exchanges)
-
Complete system (shells, insulated, pants, bibs, mid-layers) to cover December ice → May slush
Keep the steeze. Add the storm.
