i know im gonna get alot of hate for this.
but saga is super pricey and airblaster isnt.
airblaster has alot of sick colors like saga. and is like 1/2 the price.
im a poor man so i think i might look into some airblaster- even though its a snowboard brand

anyone got any airblaster clothing fer sale?

I don't get why people care about ski vs snowboard brands and freak out about it. I guess I would usually choose ski brands just to support skiing but It's lame when people hate on skiers for wearing snowboard stuff or vice versa.

I Have saga stuff and I gotta say its the highest quality outerwear I've had or seen, I love it. Airblaster seems sweet.

Do what you want. fuck the haters

No snowboarders wear skiing shit.... so yeah. And anyway airblaster is a poor company dude all there shit is always back ordered and takes forever because they have limited supplies because they have no money. At least thats what i hear.

Yes there are snowboarders wearing ski shit. It does happen. Airblaster makes some sick outerwear in some sick colors. Do you know why things get backordered? people are buying lots of it. I've read things about saga being slow with shipping orders and stuff. Airblaster is a poor company? so what I may be wrong but arn't they a relativly new company, poor? pssh they seem to be blowing up in the snowboarding community. And your whole argument ends with "atleast that's what I hear" Why do you care what other people do. Fuck man do you know your shit? Do you own some airblaster stuff? do you know if they are making money or not? your a joke.

i see what you mean
but... i really like airblaster too

it shouldn't matter what you wear that makes people like/dislike you
saga is hella expensive also

i saw some guy wearing bright ass airblaster at whistler, and he was really chill and stuff, it doesn't matter what you wear. go for it

theyre only comparable in the fact that they have bright colors. this years saga is 20k/20k while im pretty sure airblaster is only 10k/10k. The style is completely different as well. saga is just massive while airblaster has a more tight fit. so if you want saga but the price is scaring you away i dont think airblaster is a great alternative.

You are such a cliche nser. I do not own airblaster stuff because it is garbage. My friend ordered a coat and it took about 5 months for him to get it. He paid like 250 for what i thought was a pullover wind breaker. They are back ordered because they do not have enough shit to sell because they do not have that much money to make a lot of shit. This year things are turning around and they are making more money they might not be so hard to buy shit from anymore but what do i care...... I snowboard and i do not think that airblaster is blowing up. They have a good team but all i see is kids wearing leg bags which are 50 bucks and no longer available. Whatever i am done typing i have to eat dinner.

seems like saga is a little better quality although I don't really know. Airblaster stuff looks sick though and it doesn't really matter if it's a snowboard brand or ski brand. It just depends on ur wallet size and if u actually care enough to lay down the big bucks to have a "ski specific" brand that everyone else has anyways, but is better quality.

saga fits all baggy and stuff, so thats not too cool, go with airblaster, it fits better and looks better.

emos and scenesters need not get saga. if you dont want saga you probably wear turtle neck sweaters and ride a fixed gear bike.

yeah its really not that hot, thats why alot of shops have refrained from ordering it in. Their bindings used to be backed by union bindings, im not sure if they are anymore they may be totally seperate, but i dont think the outerwear ever was. For pricepoint outerwear i feel you are better going with special blend for bright stuff, plus itll fit more like saga and their quality is pretty good, airblaster is pretty tight from what i understand. Almost all my gear is special blend and im allways pleased with the quality considering i ususally dont spend alot on it.
