for me its nice to have a few jackets and a few pairs of pants. I ski alot. I mean like more than a 100 days a season for the past three years and its nice when you have to do repairs on some things that you have a back up setup. Sleves get ripped, crotch's get blown, cuffs on pants get hooked in bindings. Shit happens bro. Its good to have a spare tire in your car right?
