Five seasons is real budget gear. Functional though. My local dry slope sells their sallos for £25.
Brand might not mean "stuff all" to some people, but a lot of people do like to look good on the slopes.
I don't like seeing "scruffy" skiers

I certainly agree with all that you have said ...... I have Sallo's and ski tops

Funny how some assume price, quality and brand are synonymous.
Oddly enough I've a pair of Five Seasons salopettes and they have proven to be more durable, breathable and waterproof than more expensive brands I have owned.
Whilst I confess to have been hypnotized by the contents of the salopettes in front -) that has never been influenced by the label!

I have a lot of non trendy brands that are great quality. But then I make up for it with expensive Goggles (Oakley & Smith) and gloves (Dakine)
In my opinion, and thats all it is - in GENERAL I find that things like gloves and goggles you cant afford to scrimp on. To some extent price does = quality....unless they start getting silly such as the Oakley ones with built in GPS, Bluetooth, built in piste maps....for a mere £500

Well it's good to disagree. You wouldn't find me dead in 5 seasons gear.
I've had some north face sallos this last 5 years and they've been amazing, and obviously fit a lot better than the cheap brands. But if you want to look like a numpty, feel free.
I'm getting me some Norronja pants for next season.
