I bought a Salomon conspiracy suit a few weeks ago, and for a 600$ suit I figured it would be pretty good quality. Turns out I was very wrong. I've only used the suit about 10 times so far and the seams are already coming apart in more than 4 places. Luckily my shop is really dope and will give you your money back for anything you weren't pleased with. This time I'm going with Orage. I just want reasurance that Orage makes quality outerwear that will last me at least one season.

i wear a full orage suit. jefferson jacket, and morph pants, both xxl. sickest outwear ever. highest quality, attention to detail is amazing. make sure you get 20k/20k. that way its super versatile.

I've only ever heard good things about Orage.  They seem a bit overpriced (based on the waterproof/breathability ratings) but they are no doubt high quality.

I bought my second Orage suit this year and I'm just as satisfied with it as I was with my old one. Always dry and always warm. The quality can not be touched.
