Finally we can give you a pretty complete look at the new Idiom 2009 collection after showing you a little part some time ago. This is the first collection that is designed in cooperation by Staple Design and Fragment Design, whereas before only Fragment Design worked on it.
Several times we have already announced that the line has been inspired by nature and the environment overall. Thus the new collection mostly comes in green, white and black. Just like in previous seasons, they offer a range of hard shell jackets and a couple of insulators and down jackets. Each jacket also has matching pants, in case you actually want to use it for its real purpose, for snowboarding. Nice details include leaf camouflage inner linings and patterns.
Next to the clothing they also offer hardgoods in the line. Here we can unfortunately only show you the board and not yet the bindings and boots.
The line will be coming to stores later this year. Have a look at the complete clothing offering of Idiom after the jump.

Here is an interesting new jacket that Chuck Anderson of NoPattern designed for Burtons 2009 collection – the Light Camo Jacket. It features an all-over design similar to the works we are used to see from the designer/artist.
That’s what’s fun when you design for a snowboard company – it might be a little crazy to wear every day, but it’s just fine to wear it while boarding. The jacket will not come out for a while, so keep an eye out later this year.
After the jump detailed pictures of the Light Camo Jacket.

Also seen at SIA, some Mishka collaborations with K2 Snowboards on the Jibpan deck. the Jibpan is a freestyle deck from K2 featuring Hybritech Tip and Tail, Multi Superlight Core, and more…

After Nike has successfully attacked the skateboarding market since a couple of years, it seems like their next target is the snowboarding market. With pretty much the same strategy that worked before, they will try to conquer this new lucrative market. Applying their heritage and crazy colors seems to be something that works. It will be interesting to see what the outcome of their first collections will be. Apparently first products are entering stores this August ‘08. Pic via SouthoftheNorth.
Also we just noticed that a placeholder website is already up with a live web cam feed.

Here’s the Draggers Only jacket from the Rome SDS Manifest collection (the streetwear inspired part of their two upcoming outerwear lines, the other is the more traditional 100 collection).  Rome is dropping their first outerwear line next winter and the Manifest collection breaks down the barrier between streetwear and snow style.

With the Draggers Only jacket, you have jacket that does it all.

The Draggers Only jacket looks street, but features everything you need to take it to the hill (taped seams, Rome’s DryTac waterproof breathable membrane shell, DWR coating, etc..). As you can see from the pics, it has a removable, liner (with snap & loop attachments at neck and cuffs to keep it in place)  that also doubles as a ride- capable hoodie on its own, due to the DryTac membrane in the hood and shoulders.  Besides the olive model pictured, it’ll also come in black and blue croc.  MSRP is $225.

One jacket and three ways to wear it from the company that believes there’s no one way to ride a snowboard.

Watch for the Manifest and 100 collections from Rome SDS to drop in shops later this year.

Neff is a snowboard brand that is gaining more and more popularity in the skateboarding and streetwear cultures. Recently the brand also got together with Pony on the City Wings Gulf 5 shoe. Aside from that they have a range of nice t-shirts in their collection and many more pieces.
Both the collaboration shoe and the rest of the line is now available at the Active online store. Check out more pics after the jump.

Once again Burton has something very special waiting for you. Nike re-releases the Air Tech Challenge, a shoe made famous by Andre Agassi, the new Archive Series by Burton fits perfectly into the same category. We like to compare Nike and Burton, because both brands are in their market at the forefront in terms of style and innovation and especially at the mix of the two.
Burton did some digging and found Burton’s original 1988 Racing Gloves, 1989 Safari Sweatshirt, 1990 Freestyle Shell, 1991 Freestyle Pant, 1991 Freestyle Suit and the 1992 Glacier Jacket. Using the DNA from these classic designs, they futurized them with all the latest tech magic and even added some graphic flavor from the 1989 Cruise board graphic. Old school is now new. Dust off your vintage Safari and get buck wild!
After the jump you can check out the rest of the Burton Archive Series.

If you are still looking for a good quality jacket to go snowboarding/skiing this season and don’t mind being noticed, then this new Nike ACG Down Jacket is the right piece for you.
This retro technical down jacket features all the latest innovations from Nike, with a lot of great pocketing, a full vent zip, detachable fur on the hood and a snowlock. The all-over photoprint is inspired by 80’s winter sports and once you have a closer look at the pics, you can only start laughing!
Anyways, the jacket is now available at Caliroots. More pics after the jump.

The O’Neill H4 Campack is designed to be used as a fully functional snowboard backpack with the addition of an integrated portable media player and external camera lens.

With ease-of-use lying at the heart of the H4 Campack, the wearer is able to start and stop recording almost effortlessly by pressing a large button positioned on the left shoulder strap. There is most probably no better way to film freestyle and freeride snowboarding action.

The portable media player is positioned in the backpack’s top pocket safely stored between protective padding. The media player records all the action captured by the goggle strap or helmet mounted camera lens. For instant review on the mountain slope, open the top pocket and check your action via the media player’s screen. For sharing or Internet upload, take out the SD card which is used for video storage and copy the videos to a laptop.
Definitely a pretty nice idea and actually something that makes sense. The O’Neill H4 Campack will soon be available at the Colette online store.

Here is an interesting new Burton outfit for this years snowboard season. They just released the Gore-Tex denim outfit. Now you can finally snowboard in a denim outfit without getting cold or wet.
