US Halfpipe gear

18th February 2010

Watcha reckon about the kit? The U.S. Snowboard team uniforms were designed by Burton Snowboards and featured plaid jackets sporting patriotic red, white, and blue colors. The trousers are designed to look like well-worn denim.

Nearly a year in the making, the uniforms are designed with a nod towards the anti-establishment flair the sport of snowboarding has always exhibited. And while the materials may look as though they came from a charity shop, Burton says they've used the most technologically advanced fabrics around - in this case, Gore-Tex - to ensure the athletes stay warm and dry in what could be wet conditions in Vancouver.

Nice.
