That obnoxiously large black arachnid is the least of it, the light yellow ochre with black cargo pockets, knee pads, and cuff guards are awful! Nothing will go well with them.
SOMEONE is cranky. How'd the snow day go?

I've not seen orange.I like brick or cherry red for the same reason I have orange. It's easier for your friends or rescuers to find you on a powder day.
went better than I could've imagined, actually let them talk me into staying over and skiing again Friday. Hero snow both days, the bumps which I took my time with were a blastSOMEONE is cranky. How'd the snow day go?
ELK was too, and right up there with the free refill boot clog deep days. 37" and all black runs open with soft bumps everywhere, only two were groomed. Not even crowded, yesterday or today.
I decided to do a half day ticket Thursday. To my delight, knees were pretty good when skiing. Run lengths/time skiing followed by long slow lift rides were the perfect combo of ski/rest. Other then twingies here and there, my knees didn't really hurt till afterward at 4:30pm. Everyone talked me into staying over. I was reluctant and said I was going home at least four times before I caved. Well, skiing was good today too, again small crowd, no lift lines. By lunch I was ready to go home but after spending two hours in the lodge I went out again and skied till 4:30pm closing. Was glad I stayed. My knees seem to be holding up, achy but no worse than before I went.
Finally got my first and second ski day of the season - proof positive physical therapy works, from where I was back in December feeling as if someone was jabbing my knee caps with a power drill. I can only hope for a few more days like this with continued improvement before season end.
Oh and the Volkl 90eight's were fun although I was feeling like I may've preferred the 177cm over the 170cm's I went with. Then again I've yet to use them in the trees where I'm pretty sure I'll be more comfortable on the 170cm.

My vote is for @slowrider's vintage Pauly Shore back support belt ... the clash would actually work, anything else would look like wardrobe from a Village People music video.
If @Brian Finch and @TheBestSkier pointed guns at my head, I'd say the Green.
...and where's @Dave Petersen to photo chop these together for us?
The combo would be too military/park ranger/highway patrol looking and it also does nothing to help subdue the bold pants.Why no love for the Walnut?!
I was looking at the wrong jacket, I don't like the Antero II green combo with your bibbers either. Was looking at Antero II Plus green. The lighter more yellow-green (vs. the darker more blue-green of the II), on a value scale, is better matched in relation to the light yellow ochre/BLACK. IMO, would help the overall look remain as neutrally balanced as possible. Not so much jumping out at you.Haha..... those pants are bomb! Green is not a currently available color. -
Between those, I'd pick Black Cherry first, Red second. Both could offer you more longevity if the jacket outlives the very functional pants - too bad they weren't available to you in solid black.Current tally:
Red 3
White 1
Walnut 0
Black Cherry 1
Wait. My vote should have the most weight because if it's like Brian's last two jackets it will end up on my back. I say black cherry.
It's an Arcteryx thing. Of the CFR colors...I cast another vote for Black Cherry. Not to go all metro but I think it would pair well with a lot of colors too.I've not seen orange.
Get what ever color makes you happy, your the only one that has to like it.Why no love for the Walnut?!

Did you see me vote???^ Chalk him up as another vote for white
Black Cherry or Brick red. @TheBestSkier can you clarify the tone of the red.
OK, so no one asked what color helmet is going with this jacket??
