Roxy/Quiksilver or Billabong - which is cooler?

In tradition, it is time for Danni's annual inquiry on all things surf brands :biggrin: Though this time round, I'm taking a more laid back, casual approach and adding a poll, make it easy for you ppls :p:

Can apply to both summer wear (if you live in the UK, US or other northern hemisphere. Obviously lol) and winter (for all you other antipoedians :cool: ). I'm personally looking for some cool jackets, scarves and gloves, considering the drop in temp last night to -7 degrees celcius where I live :eek: But each to their own. So which do you dig more, Quiksilver/Roxy or Billabong? I personally like both, don't tire of either, but admit I'm more of a Roxy fan :smile:

Couldn't really say between the two. But points for not liking **** brands that the other 80% of people wear
Roxy life..theyve got style :smile:
I like billabong more methinks. Although I don't usually have money to shop at either... sob!

Don't wear them anymore, but a few years ago I thought quiksilver was kinda cool(ish).

hmm.

I've got a lot of both. Hell, I think all my tshirts (bar 1-2 atticus ones) are quicksilver/billabong/oneill- don't want to think how much they're all worth :\

I also like Fox kit, thats pretty hard wearing- my fox hoody has taken several beatings when i've fallen off bikes.

Cooler, no idea- its hard to quantify what is cool. In terms of wear and tear though i've got a billabong hoody that I bought in 01, its still in fairly good condition today.

Hmm, a couple of years ago, I had some really ace trousers from Roxy. But I'm not a big fan of surf brands really.

I don't really buy that much surf brand clothing really, it's not always my thing, but I like quiksilver/other surf brand swim shorts and sandles and sunglasses. Not keen on surfy t shirts to be honest, I prefer to go for the more mainstream fashion t shirts that you find in Republic/Bench/Tom Wolfe and all other stuff like that.

O'Neill do nice t shirts though, and I like surfy style shirts especially all the chequed ones that are back in this season.
I like Quicksilver, in fact i'm wearing bottoms, and a shirt by them right now! Nice and soft for lounging about in... :smile:

hmmmm Those brands are good but proper surfers etc are perhaps having to look elsewhere because they're becoming very mainstream now = boring...

Go for a mixture... surfy and fashoin stuff. That's what I do. No harm in that. Personally, if I had to choose, i dig for Quiksilver/Roxy or O'neill all the time!! =)
