I'm going to wear with a dark green Patagonia pant. But for the skittle-kid look, go with orange or neon yellow.


Btw- Rohdei is a frog. anyone see this in "person"?

I own one pair of black ski pants - they are stretch soft shell for spring skiing, look and feel like yoga pants and I love that. Other pants:
orange shell pants
purple shell pants (in my current avatar)
bright/orange/coral/pink insulated pants
dark blue/purple insulated pants
oh and also yellow green shell pants.

Oh and I also own this North Face jacket - it's old, maybe 4 season now? But I love it and will wear it until falls apart. :) I own a few other jackets, but they are not as colorful as this one.

The bright orange/pink/coral insulated ski pants. The pic doesn't do the color justice, it's actually bright fluorescent orange with coral/pink mixed in.

Great thread. Love those Lime Green jackets. I have a Bright Lime Spyder jacket. Not that I give a crap what people think, but since I am color blind(jacket actually looks yellow to me), would forge gray pants(Patagonia) match this jacket, and a yellow shell too? I do assume blue pants will go with the two colors?

Ok. Here is my gear. Doesn't look too bad, eh? And as I stated, I AM colorblind, and the jacket is "Bright Lime", yet is still looks yellow to me? Opinions? Was looking into the new Colorado Freeride Systems Shell, in yellow. Yet if everyone else thinks my lime jacket is closer to yellow, I might as well get their orange. Thing is, it is a very dark orange and looks very close to their red.

Thanks. Maybe I won't need to buy the orange, since I really don't like dark jackets. And since they match, I will put the money to skis and lessons. :golfclap:

I'm also a bit colorblind, and frequently really bright/light greens look more yellow to me too. Either way, looks like a good combo to me. :thumb:

Last year (or was it two?) I needed new pants. The brownish-gray ones in my avatar were getting cut up on the cuffs and are way too big for me.
I knew I didn't want black and decided yellow would look good. Eventually I found a pair with decent venting and bought them. Last year when I skied with @JohnL in Utah I realized I had recreated one of the outfits he wears pretty frequently. D'oh!
