Hi all, I haven’t been on the Boardworld forums for a while now, just created a new account.. I wanted to share with you guys a company I recently started.

NWT3K Outerwear - Custom Waterproof Jackets. Based out of Seattle, WA we allow you to customize a waterproof jacket via a simplistic online product builder. Rider inspired design and made in the USA.

I’m curious to see the response from Boardworld community so leave you thoughts, input or stoke on this thread. I’ll also be picking contributors to this thread at random to receive discounts on product.

Cheers!

If you PM’d Rider I am sure he would help you reset your acct.

Surely you must be able to see that we would prefer to help actual members of the forum.

Although in saying that you could have just introduce yourself and said “Hi guys great site i was wondering if you could help me with some research”

You don’t need to lie or offer free stuff.

A great example is this thread https://www.boardworld.com.au/forums/viewthread/10963/

Pretty cool idea. Should get everyone to post up the design they would pick. Been playing around with colours for the past 20 minutes haha. Shattered there’s no black option.

Welcome back, Nmarvik.

I actually quite like the idea and props to you for trying something different.

To me, function is the the most important aspect of outerwear. 15K is good, but are you going to have other options down the line? 20K+ or even Gore-tex?

I find it a bit misleading to call 15K “waterproof”. Being actually “waterproof” and having a “waterproof rating” are two different things. 5K is a waterproof rating; does that make it waterproof? I’m just picking on details but I think it’s important to address.

Other than that, it looks like you’re on to an interesting idea that has the potential to do very well. I wish you luck and please keep us informed. I just followed you guys on Facebook.

Oz, we actually deleted a lot of inactive accounts recently, so we might not have been able to reset his account anyway. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. smile

That’s a good point. Why aren’t there any options for black?

 

Yes where is the black? The home page shows designs with black.

I you could incorporate printing too I imagine it woudl become quite appealing commercially.

Good concept. Hope it goes well for you.

I love the idea… the site is super easy to use and there are quite a few options.. I do agree with adding black and custom graphics (maybe screen printed?) also seems like a good addition, but other then that I really like the idea.. next time I’m in the market for a new jacket I will definitely consider this as an option.. (I love being different.. and this allows you to be,)  chances of you seeing some one on the slopes with the same jacket are soooo low..

Just curious as to how much shipping to Australia would work out to be?

Great question, our inventory levels for black ran out last week. We remove color options from the site when our inventory levels run out.

Black will be re-stocked next year!
