Jeff. I understand your point. Sometimes the true meaning of these things gets lost in the "hype" so to speak ( see Lance Armstrong's LIVESTRONG bands). But here's the thing, regardless of why someone is wearing it, or what their "true" intentions are, it ends up bringing attention to a worthwhile cause on the whole. One could make the same point as to why "rich" people donate their money to causes. Is it to be "seen" or "recognized" to a certain degree in their community? Absolutely, but the bottom line is their donation goes to a good cause so who are the fundraisers to say to those folks, "really, you wanna donate that much $$$". Why? Not sure if that gets the point across, but on much smaller scale, same can be said for these kind of things. Sure, high schoolers, grade schoolers, people who may not be directly or even indirectly affected by cancer on any level may "buy in", but in this case, whats the harm? Are they posers, followers, hypebeasts? Maybe all of the above, but it's America and everyone has a choice. Far be it for me to chide someone for rocking these or anything else similar. Whats the alternative and what does that prove or accomplish?
I get what you are saying, but there have been recent studies showing that month of hideous pick accessories in the NFL is doing more to damage the cause of fighting breast cancer than it is to help it. I was just pointing out that alot of people wearing this stuff are doing it to get people to look at them, rather than actually help the cause (which they may actually be hurting in doing so). The alternative would be to wear something that looks good and donate money to fight breast cancer and talk to people about why it is important to you.

Not really a fan of our orange helmets/orange pants combo.
My boy plays in the Alpha Vapor One's. He has flat feet and said they were very uncomfortable. I wish we wore the same size so I could grab em from him and try them out. They feel real flimsy though, I like the feel of the Carbons better.
