Anyone Tested Virtika Gear? / Sale PSA
Virtika is having a 50% off sale their store sale so I was curious if anyone has tested their gear. I've seen their name around for the last few years so they must be selling decent enough stuff to survive or just have very good marketing. They have 25k waterproof/breathability, taped seams, etc. I understand this probably isn't arc'teryx level stuff but it seems hard to beat for $100. Maybe a good route to take for a skier on a budget?

I haven't owned arc'teryx but I'd say Virtika is on parr with the good outerwear companies. I got mine for an even better deal than they are running now but I think they've made some improvements.
Get a matching signature suit and you will stay dry/warm and have lots of good pockets.

Dave Lesh seems like a huge douche. If you like supporting douches, then this is a great deal.

Not into supporting douchers. Did a little research and this article came up. Maybe he's just a kid with a chip on his shoulder that made some bad decisions? Not saying he's a good guy, but maybe not the super douche a lot of articles make him out to be

^^^ what he said. Not sure how anyone reads that article and arrives at the conclusion that the guy's not a douche.
He's just a kid that made bad decisions. And continues to make bad decisions. And is a douche who makes shitty clothing that's extra baggy so upper middle class white kids can act like they're hiding guns in their waistband. Because the blue square terrain park is a rough place, so you better be packing heat. Rumor has it that the Crips have a strong presence near the kinked rail.

I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

That Newschoolers article is one of the worst pieces of writing I've ever skimmed:
"He grew up poor (but cultured), made questionable choices in his younger years, and turned the corner into a successful businessman."
Poor but cultured? Seriously? It's like William F Buckley and Kid Rock had a baby who decided to pursue a career praising douches.

Okay okay, I was just trying to present the other side of the story but you guys aren't going for it which has me believing the newschoolers article is an outlier.
Soooo, any other companies doing something similar with a higher quality founder? (affordable performance outerwear, looking specifically for shell bibs)

Whenever I see people wearing Virtika gear at my local hill I automatically think "Oh, that guy's probably a douche like David Lesh". I usually turn out to be right.

I also like to judge people based on words and pictures on the internet and the clothes they wear.
