    what bib pants is that guy in the volkl ads wearing?

    i've seen a couple of these ads in powder and other ski mags. there's a pair of skis in the room and a guy sitting back in a chair. he's got a pair of bib pants on that look pretty comfy. anyone know who makes those?

    I don't know for sure, but I think it's Chris Collins.
    I think he's spancered by Helly Hansen.
    That's all I got, don't know which model they'd be.

    Speaking of ads...Anyone see the magazine ad (forgot what the ad is for ) with the guy in an orange coat, Aspen Extreme hair, head back, face to the sun, shit eating grin on his face? I honestly thought it was a joke at first.

    if it weren't before, it is now. check skeeze out (as advised above).

    you can also do a search, it was made fun of repeatedly on this forum when it first aired.

    It is Chris Collins, and he is sponsored by North Face.

    well that makes it more confusing. there aren't any on TNF web site that look like they are the ones he is wearing. there is a pair on the HH site that look like they might be similar.

    you got it. i wasn't planning on reading up on them at all. as soon as I found the ones that he's wearing I was just going to blindly buy them.

    Thanks for the correction, Squaretail, as I was wrong.
    Chris Collins must have recently switched to TNF.
    Google search turns up his profile under Scott, confirming TNF as his sponsor.
    He is not yet listed under the athletes section on TNF.
    Should be soon.
