FS: 11TH ANNUL 2020-21 FREERIDE SYSTEMS THREADS FOR SHREDS JACKET TRADE IN UP2 $200

[Micol]

ENDS OCT 31 MIDNIGHT - 10th Annual Threads for Shreds Extended - - - - - - 2020-21 is the 11th Season!
Freeride Systems = Made in Colorado Ski & Ride Jackets
Our Sizing runs one size larger than other brands. So, XL North Face or whatever = Freeride Systems Large Jacket
However, that is not true for our Harrison Fleece and Base layers which are in line with other brand's sizing

Due to Covid-19 cutting our selling season short, I decided to run the Threads for Shreds trade in program for a limited time this Season (??) We have very few jackets backing this program this season as I did not sew garments in bulk as we normally would. Therefore, we are down to a very limited selection of size and colorway. So, if you have missed this program in the past and you see anything in your size that catches your eye, I would suggest picking it up.

Quick summary for newcomers and jongs: trade-in one of your personal old jackets toward the purchase price of our brand New Made in Colorado fully seam taped Polartec Neoshell ski jackets. (& 2 Gore-tex selections) This program cannot be used at the same time with our discount code....altho some have tried ... We may allow you up to $200. We are pretty generous with allowances.

11th Annual FREERIDE SYSTEMS THREADS FOR SHREDS JACKET TRADE IN PROGRAM up to $200

History
Threads for Shreds background, Jacket Making in Colorado, and TGR founding (reprint from last year with some edit):
Hello all. I started this program and company 10 ski seasons ago (2010) as a way to help gain some traction for unique made in Colorado ski jackets. I looked at some of those jackets today and realize that we have come a long way from pretty humble beginnings. The company started with a piece of webbing that I cobbled together with a plastic sewing machine bought in Silverthorne, Colorado. I made a "system" for "freeride" a simple strap carry system that made accessing inbounds "hike to" terrain easier as I was trying to cut down on exposed days in the back country. Today we offer fully seam taped premium branded fabric (mostly Polartec Neoshell) jackets made in Colorado and serve customers from ABC News Worldwide to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, SAR teams, ski patrols, etc. to skiers that care about how and where their garments are made as well as many commercial customers. Freeride Systems started on these forums and with some local Lake and Summit County ski shops and after I had been a member for several years. And, I am still active here today. I thank TGR maggots,and the hard work and persistence from my team for the good fortune that followed. No other brands do what we do making in this State. Each jacket receives a licensed "Made in Colorado" 1" embroidered seal on the arm. None of our competitors making a comparable product can do this... You are here, you are special, so are our jackets.....Thank you ! Mike C

It's a Blackstrap space mask that I cut a whole in so I could breath better. Guess I'll need one without a hole this season.

Thanks Mike.

[N1CK.]

MiCol ... so is what's on your website now the only stock/colors that will be available this season?

edit: also, blue is faster than red.

[Micol]

^ yes, Nick....most likely...due to covid and uptick in our bulk sewing biz...



all these pics comin in remind me.... we have a bunch of great people doing great things out there all over the globe in these jackets and it all started right here on these boardz...(and a bit slinging stuff locally too....)


noted: blu is faster...

Kept me dry, happy, and warm while working in below zero temps in Are, Sweden last fall. Great jacket. I'm super happy with it! Tempted to buy another.

Can't see the logo, but I assure you: green is the fastest color.

Also: Bross hoodies are the best grid fleece sewn in Leadville. Fight me.

this is good point to bring up....cept for backing some community events....we have not spancered and do not have "paid athletes" out there globe trotting with photogs in tow....all of our pics come in organically from paid owners of our gear...and it turns out there are a lot of solo endeavors going on so we don't have the same kind of pics you see on a lot of brands websites and in in media....

we are out of that fabric...there are a few more jackets that will fill that product , but no more in near future after that...so if a size exists now on website...snatch it, because im not kidding they most likely will not be made soon....great pic !!

Every year I ask MiCol about black. If it's a medium I'll trade you green dollars so you can buy green jackets.
