HI everybody i'm something like 6" and i want something VERY fat for this year.


I'm looking for a grey or blue or red suit full of the same color pant / jacket.


yesterday I tried a SB annex XL very very fat more than a burton cargo XL

i thought getting a SB XXL but, have you got the 2009 collection?  is that bigger than saga XL? cuz they will have a wonderful grey and what about oakley XXL? is is bigger than SBXXL? I don't think so it seems to be small like a burton xl


thanks you for your help

mmh, good to know that, i was enjoying oakley, but now i won't take one.

i saw a grey SB annex XXL pant, interestingggggggggg, but i have to know if they will have a jacket same color.

xl saga seems to be big for the jacket but it's not soo big for the pant.

xxl saga :)

thx for your help

Lethal Descent... T
he grey is absolutely beautiful and the suit is huge, You can't go wrong man. Check their site and compare measurements with Saga and others. The quality is indestructible too.

i'm also a swissdude, haha

i'm looking forward to join the states on saturday this week for the next three months,
and i wanna really buy some sick stuff there, too. i can't wait to spend my saved money like a drunken sailor for a super-siick suit, jiiha.

there are so xtremly pricediffernces between europe and the U.S. f.e. that sux really.
anyway, i think this season i'll go on the new purple SAGA suit in XL, i'm 5"9 and i think
that will be baggy enough xD and some xtra yellow baggy pants, from another brand or saga too.
the yellow/purple combination will look kick-assed, nobody will go on purple in switzerland,
i'm sure! in the states purple or/and yellow will be very hugely popular, i think.

to the swissguy: sry, ca'nt bring you some cheap US stuff.. one way or the other, i'll be back earliest on christmas. BUT i cant be present at the FREESTYLE.CH, and you can, fuck man, that suuucks! evertime i was there, the first year it can't. s***... in this way, it makes it a bit fair, haha.

easy, however.. everyone should pray 4 snow! haha

dont get xl, thats way too big for you. i dont think you fully understand how big saga is. my friend got last years blue in a large and hes 5'10" and it was insanly big. it looks steezy but too much sag makes ya look like a little faggot. get the large or medium and you will not be dissapointed

im not entirly sure, i just measured and im 183cm. ive been going by 5'10". i just bought the black avalaan ninja suit in a medium and its huuuge. saga isnt quite as big size wise compared to avalaan. thats why avalaan doesnt even make an XL

this is like black diamonds vs. double blakcs.

alta doesnt use double black nor does snowbird. black diamond means DANGER

large ( blue square) means this is big but manageable
XL clothing (black diamond)  should mean caution this shit is huge, and probably not everyone can pull it off....... not oh look at me i have XXXXXXXL

thats how saga should measure their clothes

green circle
blue square
black diamond
