Transformers?!?!

The Dakine Zip Away is almost as cool as Megatron, except it's nothing like a semi truck.
If you want a great small rolling travel bag, this is your bag. If you want a backpack, this is your bag. If you want both, this is your freakin bag!
The main portion of this piece of luggage is expandable for mass storage, it's got split level storage for easy access, and it's got wheels. There's not really a better setup out there.
The Backpack has a fleece lined goggle/sunglass/mp3 pocket and four (count 'em, 1 2 3 4) other pockets for whatever you might need.
This is an amazing deal! I've had our last model sitting by my desk for about a week, and I think if we don't sell it soon, I'll be buying it!
I'm about 30 seconds from posting it on our Ebay store so look for it on there!
You can travel anywhere you want with this for only $80 plus $13 dollars for shipping! AMAZING!

What's The Point?

I've never understood the point in having a bunch of different purses... I guess it's not something a guy will ever understand, but still... it's confusing.
Most girls I know not only have multiple different purses, but they're all weird designs that (sorry) honestly are just ugly! Does the ugliness get cancelled out by the number on the price tag? The higher the price, the less ugly a purse becomes?
I guess I just don't understand the joy that comes from dumping out your purse and all of it's contents onto the floor, just to pick them all up and put them into a different purse...
Ogio has begun producing some of these ghastly bags... so here's some pics. I figure if you're into this type of thing you'll be happy to see what's new on the market. And if you're not into it, but your girlfriend is, you can see what you'll have to deal with (because of me).

Anyway.... If someone could enlighten me on the coolness of the ugly purse, it'd be greatly appreciated

call to arms

There's a tiny company in a dirty industrial park in Salt Lake City, Utah. Very tiny. There's only three employees. And yet, somehow, you can find them competing with companies like http://www.backcountry.com/ and others with multitudes of employees. If you haven't figured out by now that I'm talking about the company I work for, something's wrong....


I find it maybe a bit too easy to boast about Remember Delaware because I'm the newcomer... I still see the company from the outside in rather than the opposite. I even have a hard time referring to the company as "us" when talking to my bosses.

Anyway, back to the subject. We're a small militia of three people, but somehow we've grown to compete with some of the best. And I'd like to think we've got followers (look here and here). Things are going pretty good considering we're in the gray space between seasons... But I personally think a change is in order... We need more people supporting us, more people throwing our name around. I mean, there are plenty of "household words" that you hear all the time, that it'd be hard to argue if they're any more deserving than we are (Susan Boyle, American Idol, Heidi Montag, Jennifer Aniston, Iraq, Afghanistan, Obama, etc). So this is what we're gonna do....

This is a call to arms!

The people of Utah, and of The World must know of our existence!

We ask that our friends, family, and followers begin spreading the word like they spread butter on their morning toast. Just as the butter we will melt into the cracks and crevices of society and become coveted by the common man.

We will dominate the world of Ski and Snowboard.

But remember! We cannot do this without your support and help! Do anything and everything you can to help us rise to the top!

Thankyou,

Andy

not a fan... nope


The Skull Candy Icon is a great set of headphones... If you like obnoxious, over-the-head, old-school style headphones.

They're great at being seen. They're also amazing at being heard. The problem is that they're really not ergonomic or comfortable. and while you can hear them real good, so can everyone else around you.

Sure, they come in great colors and have the amazing sound of SkullCandy... but that doesn't change the fact that they just aren't very good. I guess some people would rather go with a novel look... I rode around SLC on my single-speed for quite a while wearing a pair of the Icon's with a mohawk and skinny jeans and I guess I looked pretty cool, but the look is not what I'm going for.

Thanks SkullCandy, but thankyou even more for bringing me products that are more about function than looks!

This Jacket is Cold... But Louder Than Anything

The Skull Candy Full Metal Jacket is a tiny earbud that packs a punch that'll slap your earbuds back to Africa. It's got outstanding frequency separation, crystal clear mids and highs, and enough bass to fuel a hip hop concert. If only these things existed back in the day of Run DMC!

I just bought these for myself and I love em. I play the drums, and I play them loud. So when I want to play along with the music on my iPod, I need some good headphones. I've got the SkullCandy Hesh, which are great, but they're not the best in this situation. Instead, I go with ear-plugging earbuds like the Full Metal Jackt, the Smokin Buds, and the Riot.

Not only do they sound great, but they look amazing! There's a bunch of different color choices. If you've got a bunch of extra green, go ahead and buy FMJ's for every outfit you own!

And for all you rich guys (and gals) with iPhones, they've got an in-line microphone! Killer sound and the capability to stay attached to your phone constantly!

Electric!

I worked as an electrician for 7 months. It wasn't all that great, but I learned a lot about electricity and getting zapped at 4 in the morning during an all night shift. I was a technician, and so are these sunglasses. The Electric Technician is a great pair of sunglasses. They're not very expensive, and they're not gigantic so you won't drown in them.

Electric is a great company. From looking at their shades to looking at their company, you can tell they're going far. And coincidentally, they sponsor a member of the Nitro Circus! Jolene Van Vugt! This girl is shocking. Attractive, athletic, and as hardcore as they come. Don't believe me? Go watch Nitro Circus!

So they're not as big of a company as Smith, but they're still quality... If they weren't, we wouldn't sell em. nuff said.

that one company!


Ok, class, today we're going to be talking about sunglasses again! This time we'll be talking about a company called Von Zipper. They're a top contender in the world of optics.
In my research, I took the same approach today as I did for yesterday's second blog. I went to us.vonzipper.com and went directly to their team page. Naturally, the first thing that caught my eye was the pavement team. This means skate, bmx, etc.
Literally, the first two people I noticed were Mike Vallely and Rick Thorne. Mike Vallely's a hardcore streetskater that looks like a 25 year old Santa. He'll rock you if you cross him wrong. Rick Thorne is kinda like Rodney Mullen, but on a BMX. He's a living BMX legend. A forefather, an originator, a pioneer.
So what do these things say about VonZipper?
They're legendary, pioneering, originating, hardcore. They're so many amazing things. They have so many great qualities. Unfortunately they aren't Santa Clause, but you get the picture.
The products from VZ are unique, but clasic at the same time.
For example: The Skitch
These are a classic rendition of an aviator. The only difference is, the skitch is made by VonZipper, so they've got some attitude (kinda like Mike Vallely).
So you can't hang with the new age flair of Smith? You'd rather stay away from Anon and their wall-flower act? Well, be a pioneer. Pull up your Zipper and stun a few folks.

Anonymous.... maybe


Anon sunglasses are pretty dope... Every time I see their logo I get this feeling that they're greatly under-rated. So we're gonna take a deeper look into this mystery. I think to really see what this company is like, We have to take a look at their team of professional athletes, the people that are hired to give the company a good image.
Keir Dillon is a god in the world of snow. He has always been on top of his (and everyone else's) game. He has accumulated two bronze medals at the winter x games, took back to back gold at the World Superpipe championships in 04/05, and has secured second and third place at the U.S. Open. Dillon is a member of the Frends Crew, which is a group of riders who turned their initial friendship into a formal alliance in 2007 to move the sport away from its recent competitive and business focus and return the sport to its grassroots beginnings.


So we've got a pro snowboarder who's 30 years old... Almost a dinosaur in the sport. He's started a team of athletes that have dedicated themselves to having fun on the slopes, rather than trying to win. I personally think that says tons about what kind of company Anon must be. So now we'll look at an Anon product, The Shotgun.


This is a killer pair of sunglasses. (no pun intended). Wearing these, you'll look amazing and still be able to see after a long sunny day. Who doesn't love their retinas?

Or what about the associate, allnighter, fletch, fairfax, or hombre? Any way you spin it, you've got amazing shades from an amazing company. All that's missing is a chicken burrito, a few happy midgets, and The Aquabats.

Pants?!?!


YOUR PANTS!
So I've only worked here for a few weeks, and I was under the impression that we didn't have any pants, at least no jeans or normal pants. I walk into the warehouse and i see masses of winter clothing, but not much summer clothing. We've already talked about boardshorts, shirts, and sunglasses, so now we'll talk about jeans.
I just bought the DC Renegade tshirt last week, and I can honestly say I love it. I wore it for three days (it's clean, don't worry). But I think it would've been cooler if I had been wearing some DC jeans. Most people would go for the Rinse Straight. These are right in between tight and baggy for those that want a fitted look without resorting to wearing their sister's pants.
But I think I'm more interested in the slim... I'm not sure why. But isn't it great to know you've got a choice?

We've also got a few other fits and styles, but these are what caught my eye. I guess it's nice to know that I have a great place to go to when I need new pants. Especially DC pants. I mean, I've always loved jeans, and now that I have great people like Rob Dyrdek running around in DC's softgoods and makin them look disgustingly awesome, why wouldn't I want to wear them?

I guess I'm a sucker for looking cool.

More DC than you can handle!




I asked Taron what I should write about today and he suggested something having to do with spring or summer. That's kinda vague, but I just so happened to have seen our gigantic stock of t-shirts in the corner of my eye. So I took a picture with my phone, which hardly does any justice for the huge mass of product.


But even still, you can see that there's multitudes of DC shirts.
DC has done a wonderful job of bringing us designs and styles that successfully draw people's attention while remaining simple and blunt.

It's called the Star. The design comes on their shirts, longsleeve and short, hats, hoodies, coats, and more. But for something so simple, it's extremely powerful. Everybody know's that symbol. I mean, it's even hard for me to write more about it. It's that simple.







As you can see, there are plenty of different colors of the same design to meet your personal style.

And if you're still lost, maybe you should go to our store and look for more options!
