This actually looks pretty awesome for cold powder days. My inner nerd wants one. They make them for women too.
After numerous requests from our ambassadors, we designed this one-piece suit for ice climbers, alpinists and skiers who pull on their baselayers and don’t take them off until the action ends. The one-piece design eliminates the extra seams and potential cold spots of a traditional top and bottom layering system. Made from the warmest and most breathable baselayer in the Capilene® family, this suit has a soft, stretchy feel and a smooth face that glides beneath layers. The brushed fleece interior insulates, wicks moisture and rests smoothly against your skin. Details include a high collar and self-fabric hood with anatomical shaping to hold in heat, a long center-front zipper, thumb loops to keep sleeves in place, a fully functional fly and a side-zip drop-bottom. Made of 3.8-oz Polartec® Power Dry® High Efficiency™ fabric with Polygiene® permanent odor control. Fabric is bluesign® approved.

Isn’t this almost the same as Airblaster Ninja Suit?
Looks pretty much like what I use on a super cold day. But mine doesnt have a hood or thumb loops.
I use a Kokatat (paddling gear) polartec fleece onsey.
The hood is where it’s at. I think that’s one of the best features. How many times have you got powder all down your shirt from a spray in the face? This seals you right up.
I’d really like to see this available in a midweight option though. I think being sealed up like that with expedition weight materials would get too hot after a couple of laps.

You’re almost making it too easy!
Doh!

airblaster have some with hood as well.
Ya, this is what I was saying before. Wonder what the main difference is.
Sweet. They are probably very similar to be honest. Patagonia is expedition weight and I am guessing more expensive.
I doubt you can compare the quality of Patagonia to airblaster
Which is better? I have no experience with both of them. I know Patagonia makes gore tex jacket but that’s about it
Patagonia makes top quality gear. I haven’t seen or compared either, but you can only assume Patagonia would be the better quality (which will probably be reflected in the price). Is it worth the difference in price? I guess that’s the better question to ask.
I always wonder with these one suits how do you pee? And do you still wear underwear below it?

They’ve got a Gusset in the front so ya can get ya Knob out!!!!!
Takin a Dump is a whole other thing!!!!! Unless it’s got a Flap at the back!!!!!
Do you wear undies under ya Thermals now????? I don’t cause it kinda defeats the purpose I reckon!!!!!
Patagonia makes amazing gear. I have so much of their stuff. I’m actually wearing one of their belay jackets right now!
However, looking at that one piece, the legs are too long - your socks will bunch up
@Mizu: Yeah I do wear underwear under my pants baselayer now. So it’s underwear (boxer brief), baselayer, snow pants.
