Thanks for the reviews. I have the Yeti jacket and the Blizzard jacket. Blizzard is more insulated than the Yeti and it has the adjustable cuff at the wrist with the media pocket. The Yeti is more stylish and I like the longer/slim fit it gives. If I'm not mistaken, there's a media pocket as well. I have a Legacy jacket that was left in the States, unfortunately won't be able to wear it until next season. My first in the Dope gear and I'm really digging it.
Hey Derek thanks for commenting. Glad you're enjoying the dope gear too! The yeti seems a lot like the Wylie jacket. I dig that burgundy red. I think you are right about the media pocket too!
Thanks for the info. I had never even heard of this company until two days ago. I do a lot of back country snowshoeing and its quite chilly here in South Dakota so I want to make sure I get gear that is warm enough and of good quality. I love the patterns and sort of wilder side of this company as oposed to Montek, the more conservative brand of Ridestore. Hoping to purchase the whole kit here soon. Thanks again.
Thanks for commenting, glad you found the video useful. I think you put it perfectly, theres a few designs that are definitely 'out there' with Dope Snow. But it works!
i dont have any of their stuff but the price is very appealing to me, im relatively new to skiing and looking at other companies there are jackets that look just like a normal jacket for like $400+ and dope makes some cool lookin jackets for a price half that. i may have to make a purchase ;)
I have a Dope Snow Fleece. Amazing, super warm and nice. Well build.
Which one did you get bud? I haven't got a fleece yet but was considering one fir spring.
Glad you’re enjoying the gear man! They seem to have a lot of loud colors and patterns which we like. I’m a Burton guy… their stuff just never disappoints and it makes it hard to stray 🔥
Thanks Brad they have some nice contrasting stuff, either the pastal colours or the jazzy ones with shapes on them. As a boarder I can see why you'd go with Burton. Its a little wierd as all the dope snow gear is also sold as ' snowboard gear'. Was the Burton jacket reasonably priced?
This brand is the defenition of ski fashion for me. Bought myself a black and bordeau camo jacket for 160 because it was the 2021 model. A good deal
Thanks for commenting Wout its really popular with the younger skiers and I can see why. Great choice for jacket. How have you found it since you bought it ?
@@BramskiVlogs it's like you said in the video. On the thinner side but really good at conserving body heat and very water repellent 🙂.
I personally love the iconic pants paired with the blizzard jacket. I have been using dope jackets for three years now and I love the quality of the products. You said the legacy jacket was a little bit baggy, I don’t know if you know but it’s the most popular jacket for slopestyle / free skier, people like Jesper tjäder use the legacy and they probably made it baggy because it’s popular for slopestyle/freeskiers. And almost every jacket in this category is baggy.
Hey Kirstoffer thanks for commenting on the video! I honestly did not know that about the legacy jacket but it would explain a lot. Thanks for pointing that out. 100% agree with you about the iconic gear. Have you tried any non ski stuff like hoodies or t-shirts? I'm considering getting some for next winter.
@@BramskiVlogs Yes i have one of their hoodies, T shirt and beanie, I’d say they are really comfortable and high quality, the hoodie is really comfy and I use it almost everyday.
Hello im from Mongolia thinking about buying Dope, Akin. My question is how warm it is because here we get -30 celsius sometimes
Hi thanks for commenting. I have not been able to test it in -30c. Where I live and work it can be between -5 and -15 usually. Sometimes it can get to -25c and that is always going to feel cold whatever jacket you use. Just bear in mind that these are skiing jackets so if you want a jacket for harsh temperatures, you might want to look elsewhere.
Sounds like you're using the insulated version of these jackets? Did you test any Legacy shells?
Thanks for commenting Andrew. I haven't tried any of the shells yet no. I'll be sure to make a video if I do. And yes these were insulated.
you're the coolest guy in the mountain if you ski with one of these in Argentina, there are very few
I don't know a lot about Argentina, but would love to experience skiing there one day.
Im about 6'1 and on the wide-shouldered, muscular build. Its almost impossible to find any snowboarding gear for my size that isnt worth a fortune, if at all😕
Should i go for the XXL or keep looking?
I have a medium or a large I think I wear a 42 in a suit so it’s a bit hard to get your arm in but once it’s in it’s all good, I have a pullover tho so if you get a zip up you should be good
Have you checked the dope snow return policy? I'm not exactly sure but if you need to change sizes companies are usually pretty flexible. Sorry for the late response there.
As returns are free order more than one size and return what doesn’t fit?
Thanks for this review. I just bought the adept jacket
Thanks for watching, I got the same in medium this hear in the metal blue camp. Hope you enjoy yours!
Its a little confusing to me. In the dope website its mostly says: Snowboard jacket and as a beginner I don't know if I can use it for Alpine?
I can see how it would be confusing. I don't understand why they're only listed as a snowboarding jacket. The thicker one I've used to climb the subpeak at revelstoke which is 2300m it was fine so they can be used in the alpine.
@@BramskiVlogs cheers man! Which one from the current collection you would recommend?
@@meysamsarabadani9852 I love the adept jacket, the burgundy one in the video. I saw a few more things just dropped on the dope site recently though.
You did not do a waterproof test, this was waterrepellent test.. this coating works always quite good wenn new
nice review, great content quality !
Thanks laurent,I appreciate the kind words.
@@BramskiVlogs you're welcome ! Your video helped me decide what vest to purchase so thanks :)
@@LaurentK that's awesome, which one did you go for?
@@BramskiVlogs I ended up getting a Montec Fawk as it seems to be pretty much the same as the Dope Snow Adept but a bit better :)
Have you tried medium size jacket by an chance?
Got a medium jacket for this year. Way better fit!
I have one, its really good! Have been skiing in rain and i was completely dry!
Would be interested to see how they are after they have been washed. Also, do they sell them as water repellant, waterproofed or waterproof?
Good question, the website says waterproofing 15mm. So if you dipped it in a pool then it's probably getting soaked. As for the washing I'd be keen to test that out! Always feels like it's super hard to wash ski clothing nowadays at the expense of the quality. Could be wrong though.
@@BramskiVlogs 1500mm?
@@SnowCampsEurope no just 15mm. There's a part of the fabric design that stops is from soaking in.
@@BramskiVlogs Can not be 15mm Matt that would piss in water see this for reference. 0 - 3000mm rating
Below 3000mm, clothing is considered water-resistant instead of waterproof. They offer some kind of protection against water, but are only useful for water protection for casual use. An example of this is our Unisex Base Jacket which is made from 100% showerproof Polyester.
3000mm - 5000mm waterproof jackets
At the low end of the waterproofing range, these jackets can protect you against drizzles and light rain. They’re suitable for casual use and short trips through the rain. Typically, these will be lightweight and packable jackets or light hoodies. The FXD WF 1 Bonded Membrane Fleece Hoodie is a good example of this, rated at 5000mm and both windproof and breathable.
5000mm - 10,000mm waterproof jackets
At this range, jackets start to become usable for work. These kinds of jackets tend to be a bit heavier but also quite breathable. You can use these jackets safely in moderate rain conditions without much risk of water getting in. Our Streetworx Stretch Waterproof Jacket ZJ310 is a lightweight seam-sealed jacket rated at 10,000mm.
10,000mm - 15,000mm waterproof jackets
With the 10,000mm - 15,000mm range, waterproof jackets start to handle much higher volumes of rain. Medium to high rain generally won’t be an issue and you can keep dry in wet conditions.
15,000mm - 25,000 mm waterproof jackets
Going above 15,000mm is usually more than a casual user needs. These kinds of jackets are typically suited for working conditions with a high probability of rain. The Atlas SympaTex Rain Jacket has a very high waterproof rating of 20,000mm and is made from 100% recyclable materials.
25,000mm+ waterproof jackets
Most workers and industries don’t need anything above 25,000mm+ except for in cases of extreme rain. To get to 25,000mm wateproofing or higher, the fabric either needs to be very thick or made from a special hi-tech material. At 25,000mm and above, your jacket should keep you dry when working in storms or in the marine or fishing industry. The Bison Exteme D/N Jacket has a 25,000mm waterproof rating and includes a removable sherpa lining and specially designed rain gutter.
@@SnowCampsEurope On each of the dope snow products, there is a lot of information on the 'technology' but admittedly not much explanation on what exactly it means by 'waterproofing'.
yeah. great honest expert review. cheap chineese copozz 10$ goggles rebranded as "dope" to sell it for 110$, cheap clothes fabric, cheap construction. Great fanboy and a very smart person.
I'm perfectly happy paying for a good quality product thats affordable. I don't want to pay $300-$800 for an Arc'teryx or North Face ski jacket thanks, even if the quality is better.
I don’t understand why some people are so quick to call it cheap rubbish? Have you bought and used the gear and had issues? I don’t think so, so why be so critical? The only people who I see being critical of the Ridestore gear are people who have never tried it. 3 years of heavy use and my gear is still performing as when it was new
@@dts8916 I've been asking myself the same question. There seems to be a divide in the community especially in North America.
@@BramskiVlogs it is not just a criticism if his point is valid.
based on what information though? Its fine if you don't like a brand but any negativity I see around DOPE is always sarcastic and not very factual. I'd love to have a discussion with someone who's doesn't like it and just exchange opinions. But everything I've seen so far is just vitriol. As an example; I don't use Burton but you don't see non-burton users slagging people off and calling them posers. Just doesn't make sense to me and its unnecessary when we all like the same thing...skiing @@ericaroundtheworld
5ft 8. Wears size Large. What would you recommend for 6ft2 average build
I'll be honest the large was too baggy for me. If you're looming for a snug fit large would probably work.
@BramskiVlogs cheers buddy. Just about to order a large 👌 I usually go for GILL jackets for all weather protection but love the look of these jackets
@@frankgallagher7812 there's a great choice of designs! Best of luck
Is it durable like for roughhousing?
Roughhousing in what context ?
@@BramskiVlogs I mean mostly anything related with trecking and all sorts
@@FRIUUU788 ah great question, I do quite a bit of hiking to the subpeak and have found it fine. The ventilation in the jackets is good. The pants are a little thick but you it can get quite cold here so that insulation helps.
@@BramskiVlogs Ah thanks bro. I'll definitely look into this product now
@@FRIUUU788 thanks for watching mate. I'll be reviewing more from dope this winter
Even as somewhat of a 'rad dad', as a middle aged man I just couldn't bring myself to walk around with 'dope' written on my clothing apart from anything else 😂
It's not for everyone but definitely there's a market
@@BramskiVlogs it truly is, can't move for it in the Alps!

Why do they get so much hate
Its a really good question
size large and you’re 5’8🤨🤨 like 170cm using europe L size😃 something smells
There's a good chance I did get the sizing wrong last year. I bought some new gear this year but haven't got round to reviewing yet.
I have tried Dope Snow products. Horrifically bad product and worse customer service.
You might as well light your money on fire if you give this company your business.
Hi Jordan could you explain specifically why you don't like it? Generally alot of the feedback I've seen has been positive. Eager to hear your experience.
Had a great experience, was concerned about the fit so i contacted the live chat and they offered a free return if I didnt like the fit.
@@BantanaAudio They refused a return with me and their product description was misleading.
Hopefully this horrible company goes out of business.
I am sorry but I do not believe you. There is no issue to return unused or if you have experienced a faulty product. I do not understand why some people are trying to give the company a bad name? This is a genuine excellent company creating great products.
@@dts8916 Mindless shill.
dude u even have a dope sticker in ur helmet this cannot be honest
Shoot I forgot you're not allowed to support a brand if you like it.
