Call me a lazy asshole or do me a solid. I'm looking for a new outerwear setup and can't really find anything past neon outlandish colors.

I'm looking for a solid grey for the pants and solid purple or burgundy/cranberry for the jacket.

I'd like them to be technical (high waterproofing and breathability) please.

Thanks if you help me out. I'm out of the loop of gear since I'm not working in a shop anymore and NS is my last resort. I don't have a good shop anywhere near me.

Oh uh, never really cared about brands to be honest. The only brand I actively stay away from is Burton.

Oh uh, no price range really. I don't buy gear every year so I'm willing to invest. I left out some key things didn't I?

In between park rat and gaper I'd say. More of a big mountain kind of skier where there's still room to move around in but nothing like straight out of the 80's

Thanks. I guess I was really lookin for the jacket. Gray pants are too terribly hard to find.

Bump

This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to fit and technical features. Does anyone know brands similar to orage in fit but with better colors? I might just get this jacket but if I can find a better color I'll go with that.
