Spyder informed me last fall I was chosen to design a jacket for their 09/10 line.I wanted to share our first mock-up via computer sketch:
We’ve found a very cool fabric that is a blend of cotton
and polyester and has an almost raised pattern texture
on the surface. It uses a cotton but also has polyester
to help wicking and drying. What’s totally new is the

It’s a first to use cotton and polyester together in a
ski apparel fabric from Gore.Here is a shot of the Fabric:
I am excited to see the coat develop and color ways. I basically wanted a
coat without any extra bells and whistles - just a solid coat to be in the
mountains, with all the imperative features for skiing, hiking,and being in
the backcountry every day. Like a solid chin cuff, awesome pit zips, an
articulated slender tall fit, a fixed hood,
60gms of thinsulate (warm but not bulky), and relaxed arms.

The marketing people over at Warren Miller sent me a framed picture with a metal plate in appreciation for me getting the ‘Cover’ photo for their DVD and movie. I’m the one in appreciation. The framed pic is this one from the movie cover and advertising campaign:
I am have been super busy dong physical therapy on my knee over the last 2 months, and it also gives me time to get computer stuff done. Yesterday I scanned my published shots from all the mags from the year - check it: http://www.juliancarr.net/2007-2008-Julian-Carr-Published/index.html
