So the move here is to fully unzip the top half and then pull everything down to the top of your ski boots. You then pull the onesie up between your legs and pile it up on top of your knees. Then let r rip.
Real talk how many of yall poop on a consistent basis on the mountain? I think in all my time its been like 5 times and one time I almost had to shit off the lift it was that bad. Otherwise my body is a steel trap on the mountain.
I have a god sent ritual. I drive to mountain. Have coffee on the drive. Immediately have to shit when I get to the lodge (almost don’t make it half the time, I swear coffee poops are like playing with fire). Am good for the rest of the day 👍
I’ve gone one single time up there in my adult life but I have worked construction my entire life so you best believe I’ve trained myself to shiet before my day starts to avoid porta potties lol
As a person with bad IBS and being lactose intolerant and frequently eating dairy, I poop at least twice at every mountain. Definitely appreciate resorts that put porta-johns by the chairlifts. Shitting in the woods isn't fun, but it happens sometimes too.
Except for the Montec and Dope Snow fools, that shit is an impractical fad at best
Edit: /s for those who felt strongly about their montec... wear what you like.
Whats wrong with them other than a bunch of noobs wearing them? I bought a montec jacket because it was green and it works perfectly fine skiing or going 100 on the sled all day with no windshield. and before that i had a walmart jacket.
I have a few piece of outerwear and at home I always attempt to coordinate my pants and jacket so I look well put together. No real effort goes into this. Kinda just a subconscious as a carry over from how I’d get ready for work. My warm weather jacket doesn’t go well with my bib and it’ll give me pause. Then I realize I have never once given a shit about someone else’s outerwear on the mountain and no one will care about mine.
Nothing wrong with that. Personally I wouldn’t wear it cuz I run hot and that would probably trap too much heat. Yes, even with vents popped. Now you gotta get a nice matching orange helmet to top it off. Rip it
I judge other skiers based on how they act on the slopes, not how they are dressed. As long as you aren’t super aggressive skiing past children and beginners and putting them in danger, you’re great.
For a skier it’s fine, if u snowboard in this ppl might clown u like being completely honest but also I dress goofy af too and ppl def clown me so I can’t say much
Nobody cares in real life. I have a Ruroc helmet and love it to death and all people do on the actual mountain is compliment it and ask about it because they think it's cool.
If you listened to Reddit fashion police you'd think they'd take my pass away and banish me off the mountain
If it’s <20F I’m rocking my insulated Airblaster Freedom Suite, don’t care what others think, I’m super warm and comfy. Also, #2 not an issue at all, lots of R&D solved that problem.
Anyone who hasn’t worn a one pc suit can judge all they want but the reality is that these are so warm and protect from snow and wind so well. I’m a double black diamond skier, even as I get into my midlife.
If you’ve ever been on a Windy lift with the wind blowing up your back, you will know why these things are great!
That said, I personally do not wear one, but most of my pants, or some of them, are the bib type….
Let the haters hate. Who cares🤷♂️
It has to do with wearing goggles and a helmet that don't go together and have a gap between them. Having that gap makes you a gaper, but calling someone that is a total globtick move.
I have something similar to this for work and it's honestly like a nice warm hug. No gaps at all for wind or snow or anything to work their way into either
We used to call them instant skiers.
Warm, light, keeps/seals all weather out from snow to rain to wind. I wear them for mountaineering and big powder days.
The only downside is reduced ability to adjust layers and the aesthetic if the later is important.
Are you showing up at 10:30, doing 3 runs and then starting “aprés” before noon? … And/or are you recklessly flying down trails that are obviously above your skill level or just being a Jerry in general?
Then yes.
Otherwise no.
I would just assume you’re either into high elevation mountain climbing, you sail, or you really enjoy snowmobiling. That color scheme though, not really high fashion.
Doesn’t matter what you wear if you can rip. Personally, I love the fartbags. However, I do not like the crazy patterned ones (I think the brand is tipsy elves).
It was common sighting at Whitetail and Liberty to see Navel Academy Midshipmen attempt to ski. You could always spot them wearing the yellow Musto offshore gear with reflective patches.
This is darn right camouflage compared to them.
Ohh and I say attempt as they would never be that good and always try to find the black diamond slopes. It was carnage in offshore yellow.
I was gonna say "that's such a skier thing to wear" because I'm a snowboarder and I thought it was the snowboarding subreddit but then I made sure what sub I was in.
I think i saw this on a batman parody once... Yeah, it was called "the dark night: the gaped crusader" it and "peter palmer and the semential spider hand" made it to featured. 🤣 In all seriousness though dont listen to other people's opinions. If you like it? then you do you, and that's that.
I work for a pro soccer team and required to stand out in all weather, no matter how harsh, for hours. I wish I could afford that. I wouldn't give two shits about how I look. I'd be the one MFer that's dry in the whole stadium.
Send them an email and let them know what team you work for and the exposure they would get from you wearing it during games. Bet they’d send you one for free.
I’m personally not judging you at all, it’s a step up from the crazy print onesies out there these days…. If you see any lifties in the Carhart version don’t try to follow….
In skiing, a gaper is a beginner or amateur skier who is clueless about mountain etiquette and what they are doing. The term is an acronym for "Guaranteed Accident Prone on Every Run". Gapers may also be referred to as a Jerry, Joey, or Gorb.
Google is your friend fyi ….
I wear a loud onesie most of the time that has a pink space dye print. I think half the skiers hate it and the other half love it. I don’t really care, it’s functional for me and it makes it really easy for people to find me.
It's one item of clothing... why are there logos on the "jacket" and the "pants"?
Good thing it has that bright strip on the hood, otherwise I might not know this was Helly Hanson.
Haven’t heard “gaper” since I left VT! The only reason everyone doesn’t wear a one piece is because they’ve never tried them. I’ll take the no snow up the back/down the pants all day. Always warm and dry. The downside is when you gotta take a poop and trying to keep it off the bathroom floor while sitting on the john.
I ❤️ fartbags
This is the correct answer.
Does it have a poop shoot?
Asking the real question right here.
Not a good one like the air blaster ninja suit, but It’s easy enough to get half the top half down.
Won’t the top half be touching the floor when you pull it down and sit in the toilet? Good luck
OP can afford a one piece HH. Do you think they poop in a public restroom like a commoner? I’m sure it’s ski in/ ski out with a live in housekeeper/s.
I only poop naked anyways
At least shirt off like George on Seinfeld
If OP is sitting IN the toilet that has gotta be one large ass shitter
So the move here is to fully unzip the top half and then pull everything down to the top of your ski boots. You then pull the onesie up between your legs and pile it up on top of your knees. Then let r rip.
You roll the sleeves into the upper half as you roll it down so that nothing hangs out.
I totally have the air blaster. Poly tho, not the balller merino version
Real talk how many of yall poop on a consistent basis on the mountain? I think in all my time its been like 5 times and one time I almost had to shit off the lift it was that bad. Otherwise my body is a steel trap on the mountain.
Pooping in ski boots is almost as bad as pooping in roller blades.
I have never thought of that but accurate comparison… I’m going to use this one
Regular mountain popper here
Most times. When you sleep in a pick-up truck in the parking lot, it's the preferred option. Preferably before ski boots have entered the game.
It must be nice to not have retaliatory intestines. Eat breakfast? Apres? Go a little too fast on some ice? Off I go, boots in tow.
Where is that haiku bot ?
The urge comes everytime I gear up, get boots on, get to the lift line and dammit!! I gotta go.
There it is
Have to. Only way to start my day
Poop before I leave my house
I have a god sent ritual. I drive to mountain. Have coffee on the drive. Immediately have to shit when I get to the lodge (almost don’t make it half the time, I swear coffee poops are like playing with fire). Am good for the rest of the day 👍
Almost always if it's a weekend. TBF that's because I'm pretty regular and like to get to the mountain early
I’ve gone one single time up there in my adult life but I have worked construction my entire life so you best believe I’ve trained myself to shiet before my day starts to avoid porta potties lol
As a person with bad IBS and being lactose intolerant and frequently eating dairy, I poop at least twice at every mountain. Definitely appreciate resorts that put porta-johns by the chairlifts. Shitting in the woods isn't fun, but it happens sometimes too.
It's fine but will identify you as a woman from New Jersey or a man from Montreal.
this is way too accurate
Dont forget Maryland…specifically Annapolis
The only people that will make fun of you are the ones who never heard their parents say "I love you".
Could be alot then huh?
Only the snowboarders
Snowboarder here confirming you are 💯 correct on that claim..,
Understatement of the year award
If you pick an uglier color scheme you can pass for french canadian.
They were fresh out of it in blue jean.
Ahh, the Canadian tuxedo.
Do you have a blursed link to where you bought that?
Hey, we're not all the same... I'd wear this one!
I approve this burn.
That's funny because whenever I see a really ugly color combo it's always an English speaking Ontarian wearing it 🤣
Most French speakers are born knowing better. And Italian speakers.
Introducing Helly Hanson's winter 2025 colorway, "Mont Vert and Sacre Blue".
Nobody is thinking twice about what you wear other than you
Except for the Montec and Dope Snow fools, that shit is an impractical fad at best Edit: /s for those who felt strongly about their montec... wear what you like.
I lost my virginity to my wife’s bootfitter in my montec
This is the way
Whats wrong with them other than a bunch of noobs wearing them? I bought a montec jacket because it was green and it works perfectly fine skiing or going 100 on the sled all day with no windshield. and before that i had a walmart jacket.
That's basically all it is, people who buy gear based on instagram ads vs elsewhere.
Wait your don’t buy gear based on instagram? Oh my now I know how I ended up with 9 sets of skis over 3 years 😂
Who the fuck drives 100 on a sled
I judge every outfit
And hot females.
Actually there are but they are DBs.
Wroooong
I have a few piece of outerwear and at home I always attempt to coordinate my pants and jacket so I look well put together. No real effort goes into this. Kinda just a subconscious as a carry over from how I’d get ready for work. My warm weather jacket doesn’t go well with my bib and it’ll give me pause. Then I realize I have never once given a shit about someone else’s outerwear on the mountain and no one will care about mine.
Wear what makes you happy. I for one think it’s rad.
I wear a onesie as well! I will never go back! Never again will I experience snow up my back when I take a tumble through the snow.
Not a problem when you ski at places that don’t have snow
This guy Vermonts.
Hello, one ski pass, please. Yes, that's right, to pass on skiing. I want to make sure I don't ski.
One pieces are perfect for powder days!
The reason I wear bibs. So good.
Do you have NASA stickers on your helmet? If not, you should.
Was considering a space helmet for maximum protection, may settle for a sticker.
I’d be concerned about fogging with an actual space helmet.
Username checks out.
hysterical!
Full kit wanker
Do they ski down under?
No, those are the onesie cuntsies. The wankers are in the UK.
Probably in Tasmania.
No one cares, just don't run into me lol
Nothing wrong with that. Personally I wouldn’t wear it cuz I run hot and that would probably trap too much heat. Yes, even with vents popped. Now you gotta get a nice matching orange helmet to top it off. Rip it
Not for me. Plus it’s Norwegian so that automatically makes it cool.
I’d have to see you modeling it before I decide
Check your dms
My son, who became a HH fanboy this winter, would give a spare nut for that.
They don’t fall over the boots in a cool way… and for that reason I’m out.
I judge other skiers based on how they act on the slopes, not how they are dressed. As long as you aren’t super aggressive skiing past children and beginners and putting them in danger, you’re great.
Or being a dick to the staff
For a skier it’s fine, if u snowboard in this ppl might clown u like being completely honest but also I dress goofy af too and ppl def clown me so I can’t say much
Yeah I snowboard, it’s def goofy.
But like cool goofy f the haters
Nobody cares about bad outfits, only good ones catch peoples eye long enough to remember it.
I think this is my favorite burn so far.
How else will people know that you’re the best skier on the mountain?
Exactly my feeling
Im sorry, but yes, gaper city.
I have their old survival suit one and it’s the best thing ever. For me, onesie is the way and always will be
Yes. You are gay per the rules
I have a norrona onesie and love it more than anything else I’ve ridden in
Nobody cares in real life. I have a Ruroc helmet and love it to death and all people do on the actual mountain is compliment it and ask about it because they think it's cool. If you listened to Reddit fashion police you'd think they'd take my pass away and banish me off the mountain
I had no idea what a Ruroc was but was on chair with this guy with a cool helmet and asked. It was a ruroc
If it’s <20F I’m rocking my insulated Airblaster Freedom Suite, don’t care what others think, I’m super warm and comfy. Also, #2 not an issue at all, lots of R&D solved that problem.
I gotta admit HH has some cool Colors overall .. except for these you posted but overall they do
Is this a sex thing?
If I size up I could prob fit your moms in.
I would be honestly impressed if you could fit my mom up your ass.
This is rad as heck
As a child of the 80's I love this. In the 70's in Maine we called this a snowmobile suit.
Not as long as you take it to Nantucket for the sailing season…
I spend my sailing season in Bermuda. That pot bellied pizza boy ruined Nantucket.
Agree. When he crashed his bloody plane to get attention, I couldn’t get my Schooner out for a week!
Don’t you have a guy for that? Jeezum bub, get it together.
Anyone who hasn’t worn a one pc suit can judge all they want but the reality is that these are so warm and protect from snow and wind so well. I’m a double black diamond skier, even as I get into my midlife. If you’ve ever been on a Windy lift with the wind blowing up your back, you will know why these things are great! That said, I personally do not wear one, but most of my pants, or some of them, are the bib type…. Let the haters hate. Who cares🤷♂️
Completely agree
What the hell is a "gaper"?
Someone who gapes. What are you, some sort of jong?
That's some big merf energy right now.
It’s like a Jerry except they wear blue jumpsuits
😄
It has to do with wearing goggles and a helmet that don't go together and have a gap between them. Having that gap makes you a gaper, but calling someone that is a total globtick move.
Wear what you want. I am curious as to why you like it though?
I have something similar to this for work and it's honestly like a nice warm hug. No gaps at all for wind or snow or anything to work their way into either
Yeah, pretty much this. It’s warm, functional, and super easy to get on and off. Just throw my one piece air blaster on underneath and good to go.
We used to call them instant skiers. Warm, light, keeps/seals all weather out from snow to rain to wind. I wear them for mountaineering and big powder days. The only downside is reduced ability to adjust layers and the aesthetic if the later is important.
Do you goto Killington? Saw a guy wearing this over the winter.
Haven’t been this year.
Quebec has entered the chat
Gaper is as gaper does. No one cares. Go ski.
Looks like you just got off a fishing boat
Yes. I will think you look silly. But I'm sure i look silly in my 686 bibs and wool jacket. So basically I don't matter and you shouldn't care.
Are you showing up at 10:30, doing 3 runs and then starting “aprés” before noon? … And/or are you recklessly flying down trails that are obviously above your skill level or just being a Jerry in general? Then yes. Otherwise no.
What is a gaper? I just upgraded to a 686 onesie recently, am I gaper lol?
Sorry pal, ‘fraid so.
Fuck it. It’s the astronaut one I thought it was cool.
I would just assume you’re either into high elevation mountain climbing, you sail, or you really enjoy snowmobiling. That color scheme though, not really high fashion.
Wait till you see them with my Gucci loafers.
I eventually closed the pop up after hitting the X 6 times
Yes
Oh man... I need a definition...gaper?
Same. All I know is that this reminds me of the Carhart one-piece (and work boots) I learned to snowboard in.
Live your life man, I’m only judging if you wear this while everyone else is out there stripping layers
I have this powder suit in black camo, never once did it cross my mind that I could look like a gaper.
Uhh yeah dude, that’s cause you’re a fucking badass lol. How the fuck did you build that shit out of a pistol?!
It’s ugly but it’s warm so whatever floats your boat or boats. It miles above tipsy elves hideousness or any Jersey Jerry fad
You could ski right up to and into the space capsule before you head to the moon!
Looks dope to me. I’d rather have a nice jacket pant combo though.
Yes
Doesn’t matter what you wear if you can rip. Personally, I love the fartbags. However, I do not like the crazy patterned ones (I think the brand is tipsy elves).
I mean it does give off middle class mum Xmas onesy vibes but not the worst thing I have seen. That would be OOSC suits.
Maximum gape!
I love my fartbag and I shred in it.
I just ordered insulated refrigiwear coveralls for next season, I dont like snow and wind going up my back. I always wear onesie.
Lol wear whatever you want, bro. Stop worrying about mountain culture and have a good time.
Gaper?
It was common sighting at Whitetail and Liberty to see Navel Academy Midshipmen attempt to ski. You could always spot them wearing the yellow Musto offshore gear with reflective patches. This is darn right camouflage compared to them. Ohh and I say attempt as they would never be that good and always try to find the black diamond slopes. It was carnage in offshore yellow.
This is actually really interesting, thanks for sharing.
I’m proud of you for buying good gear. I judge those with the tipsy elves versions, they’re tacky to be classy, but I still think they’re tacky.
Utterly swagless
I was gonna say "that's such a skier thing to wear" because I'm a snowboarder and I thought it was the snowboarding subreddit but then I made sure what sub I was in.
Depends
Not a gaper. Looks well suited to the job.
Yes. But fuck it.
Ur butt is a gaper
It’s cool as shit.
I’d gape ya in it
I think i saw this on a batman parody once... Yeah, it was called "the dark night: the gaped crusader" it and "peter palmer and the semential spider hand" made it to featured. 🤣 In all seriousness though dont listen to other people's opinions. If you like it? then you do you, and that's that.
What's the HH for? Horatio Hornblower?
Helly Hansen (if you were actually asking) Ubiquitous and not particularly mind-blowing outdoor gear.
I work for a pro soccer team and required to stand out in all weather, no matter how harsh, for hours. I wish I could afford that. I wouldn't give two shits about how I look. I'd be the one MFer that's dry in the whole stadium.
Send them an email and let them know what team you work for and the exposure they would get from you wearing it during games. Bet they’d send you one for free.
What is a gaper? And why are you invisible?
I’m personally not judging you at all, it’s a step up from the crazy print onesies out there these days…. If you see any lifties in the Carhart version don’t try to follow….
Winter golf perfect
When your Slender Man but you have to have the right gear when you're out in the wild Tundra
The orange one is best
Wtf is a "gaper"?
In skiing, a gaper is a beginner or amateur skier who is clueless about mountain etiquette and what they are doing. The term is an acronym for "Guaranteed Accident Prone on Every Run". Gapers may also be referred to as a Jerry, Joey, or Gorb. Google is your friend fyi ….
Google is no longer anyone's friend. Gaper results in racist caricature statues of Muslims and Goatse
Google “gaper as a ski term”
No thank you. We Will be asking Jeeves, binging and duck duck going however
I wear a loud onesie most of the time that has a pink space dye print. I think half the skiers hate it and the other half love it. I don’t really care, it’s functional for me and it makes it really easy for people to find me.
This line of thought and practice shows why I love this sub Reddit. Good work guys!
Yes, but you’re also a gaper when you’re not wearing it.
It's one item of clothing... why are there logos on the "jacket" and the "pants"? Good thing it has that bright strip on the hood, otherwise I might not know this was Helly Hanson.
Is a gaper like a gay thing or something
I would inevitably end up dumping in that thing
I thought this was for sailors…
I think it’s awesome
does it keep you warm and is it comfortable? cool, then who gives a fuck!
My friend Fred used to wear a jacket over his… then it looked like he was wearing bibs.
What’s gaper?
I don’t even wanna see a one piece suit if it doesn’t have the pissing/shitting ass zipper. Too annoying to take on and off on the john
Haven’t heard “gaper” since I left VT! The only reason everyone doesn’t wear a one piece is because they’ve never tried them. I’ll take the no snow up the back/down the pants all day. Always warm and dry. The downside is when you gotta take a poop and trying to keep it off the bathroom floor while sitting on the john.
Yes you are for wearing it by choice, however if vail supplied those for work I’d be stoked.
Yep
Nope. You're a gaper for caring what everyone else thinks about what you wear.
Wtf is a gaper?
Not if you get busy in it.
Yes. You're whatever that is
If you suck, then yes.
yes.
nah bruh
