Mike Basich is a legend. And the Yeti costume he used in a 2013 ad for GoPro that ended up as part of a video game is legendery as well. Now you can have it for yourself for only $405 bucks on eBay. Just hope he dry cleaned it so you don’t end up smelling like a yeti, too. Here’s Mike’s description of the iconic suit:
This is great costume, it’s the original outfit in the GoPro TV commercial a few years ago and the latest steep video game created a character from it. Costume has tears on rubber mask, I would think shoe goo could fix the tears to the point it would hold. Costume is complete. On one hand the fur is falling off, could use some glue. I used string to hold it on so far. Eye holes are cut out some to see better, used with goggles a lot for filming. Zipper in back to get in costume. Please look over images for wear and tear on costume.
Basich is a classic character, from building tiny homes that have inspired thousands to creating epic POV movies, he’s successfully found a way to move out of the mainstream snowboarding circles and still find success. Check out this fantastic interview we did with Basich. Oh, and you still have time to bid on his costume.
