why dont people remove the ski tags on their jackets?
i can think of three reasons:
1. some sort of medal of honor/badge of courage that people like to flaunt?
2. do the ski folks make it very difficult to remove to get free advertising?
3. the tag actually helps by making it easy to zip/unzip your jacket even with your gloves on. so people leave them on for utility!
2 seems a bit far-fetched and too much of a conspiracy theory. 1 doesnt make sense; skiing seems commonplace enough that its not a uniquely distinguishing feature to flaunt. so im going with 3. if 3 is true, it makes a strong case for jacket manufacturers to adopt this.
p.s. im ignoring the possibility that people are lazy/dont care enough to remove them.

I actually found the tags to be painful to remove, especially with numb hands. I don't know if its a marketing ploy though.
You would need a wire cutter, or tin snips to get through the little wire that you put the sticker over. It's a convenience thing.
And, chances are, if someone has ski'd once they plan on doing it again. Leaving the tag on from the year before, or hill before, makes it easier to put the next sticker on. You have an entire sticker to put the new sticker on, instead of just the little wire.
All in all, it's convenience.
