Abstract: We describe the Stiefel-Whitney classes (SWCs) of orthogonal representations $pi$ of the finite special linear groups $G=extSL(2,mathbb{F}_q)$, in terms of character values of $pi$. From this calculation, we can answer interesting questions about SWCs of $pi$. For instance, we determine the subalgebra of $H^{\ast }(G,mathbbZ/2mathbbZ)$ generated by the SWCs of orthogonal $pi$, and we also determine which $pi$ have nontrivial mod $2$ Euler class.
