it's all obvious my friend. its not gonna alienate their "original" market in any way. you see gapers on twintips all over the place. ns.com is about the only place where people actually give a shit about all this image bullshit. the average skier would buy a piece of clothing if they liked it and they deemed it good value for money, and will continue to do so regardless of which superpros the tweeny thugs on ns worship.
or not, whatever, i don't give a shit.
