My first post. Sorry I searched already but can't seem to find any information here, google, anywhere....

I must first say the fit of Burtons 2010 line up is disappointing at best. Baggy fit may as well be two sleeping bags strapped onto my legs. Team fit was not that much better. To my surprise, slim fit was looking pretty good on me, (I'm 6'4" at 190 lbs) but they make all of two styles in the slim fit for 2010.

I own a pair of gray AK's from 2008 that are a Large/regular length but they were gray and just a little too short (would ride up when I bent my knees), besides I really wanted a black pair of pants this season.

Which brings me to my original question, finally. If you read this far, thanks.

Now, whats up with the color "True Black"? These Stroker pants are posted online and on the Burton web site and look black. When I went to the Burton store in Chicago and tried them on, they were light gray, but the tag said "True Black" and when I look around online, some sites have black, and some have the same gray color, all with the same "True Black" description.

I really do not want to order them from a site (or on eBay) where they look black only to receive gray pants so if anyone has any insight please share.

Thanks crew.

funny you mention this....i was in the same situation a few weeks ago. against my better judgement, i decided to purchase a pair off ebay which turned out to be gray not black. i ended up getting some black spray paint from my local canadian tire and just made them black myself. i think you should do the same. i have not used them yet, but so far i am very satisfied with their finish as now i can make stencils and put neat designs on them

I was not satisfied and for the price it was worth the gamble... and I won! Pants are indeed jet black and not light gray like some others, including the Burton store were stocking.

I can only assume the color made a change mid production run or something so my advice to anyone is to simply confirm the color in advance.

I'm happy they are black!

Cheers.
