The Foursquare Trade Jacket gives you fully waterproof breathable protection, plenty of smart features, and a ton of pocket-space for a long day at the mountain. The removable hood and powderskirt give you the versatility to set up the jacket to adapt to changing weather conditions, and cool little touches like adjustable cuff closures with stretch wrist warmers make the Trade an obvious choice for the rider who needs all-day comfort and all-season durability.

Bottom Line: Tough and functional doesn't have to be bare-bones.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Alek Oestreng - Wet Plate Project

By: Backcountry.com Vendor Rep
October 27, 2011

“THE WET PLATE PROJECT” is a first ever, unique approach to snowboard and action photography shot by experimental lifestyle and accomplished snowboard photographer Ian Ruhter. The Foursquare Team along with Ian set out to shoot snowboarding in an entirely new way, through one of the oldest photo processes ever developed, Wet Plate Photography.

This process - also called collodion - combines dangerous chemicals and developing systems (using an 8 x by 10 Deardorff camera) to create gritty, detailed metallic images on glass, an experimental and difficult departure from modern photography. Using this process, glass plates are coated with collodion liquid, allowed to set, then sensitized in a bath of silver nitrate, and finally exposed for a few seconds, or up to several minutes, before being immersed in a bath of potassium cyanide to develop. The challenge: Ruhter needed to shorten the exposure time significantly to capture fast motion under intensely bright lights. (Note: The only other person who successfully did this was Edward Muybridge, who photographed a man riding a galloping horse in 1878).
