Descente ski outfit

I got a Descente ski outfit (jacket and pants) when I was working with Pre skis in 1993. It actually was a uniform and for the past 20 years, I've been wearing it. Made in Honk-Kong, it stills look and feel brand new and I generally wear it when I run on cold, winter mornings.

A few days ago, as I was skiing with my wife in Deer Valley, I rode the Sultan chair with two professors for San Francisco who were lecturing at the University of Utah. One of them was wearing the exact same vintage ski outfit (color and style). This speaks volumes about product longevity in an otherwise “disposable” era...
