I have always really liked Bonfire's stuff. good fit and solid quality --- something thats hard to find with these small ski outerwear companies

Oakley Cohesion Jacket...best jacket I have ever owned, incredibly waterproof, warm and breathable. Sold my Medium and picked up a Large this year....OTT bibs I have are also very comfy, warm and waterproof.

The 3L stuff in their line is amazing, lightweight shell like, totally waterproof, good venting. Only issue is that the powder skirt on a large still doesnt draw up tight, kinda defeats the purpose of even having one when it doesnt work.

I got a new Holden jacket this year and I love it.  I'm suuper stoked on my Sessions pants.  Cheap, comfortable, warm and look good.
I suppose it isn't really outerwear, but I've got a Siver Cartel technical hoodie that I still wear all the time and still haven't found a hoody I like enough to replace it, although my new Voleurz just might do it.

Patagonia makes some of the highest quality stuff I've ever had. Its expensive, but if you go to an outlet its pretty cheap for what you get.

my favourite ski pants up until this year were some 07/08 Burton Ronins

Now i got Saga Anomie 09/10 best pants ever. so lightweight and keep me warm.

Jacket has to be Volcom Nimbus from i think its a 07/08 or 08/09.... Cant remember but its such a sick jacket.

Trading it in next year for Saga though.

My old orage checkered brown suit. So warm and such high quality have never had a problem with it and it never looks dirty so I have yet to wash It properly in 2 seasons.

Oakley is sick as far as quality/features goes, but its too expensive and runs too small.

I second the JL, but for me I would say its up there because of the technical features.  I dont think i could ever go back to not having a pants/jacket zipper link, magnetic pockets, bum gloves, the suspenders that allow you to hang the coat on your back when you take it off, etc etc. Tell me if im wrong but sick features I think no other brand has combined.

For comfort and style: Oakely Link pants.  they were totally fleece lined, thickly insulated and the antifreeze looked so sick.  I might buy a pair again if I saw them.

For technical performance - My burton ak 3l stuff was pretty nice.  Owned some Arcteryx proshell that has been pretty solid too.

Probably my blue orage coat I had last year don't remember the name though it was so warm for these north eastern winters. I do like my new air raid jacket, but it's not as warm....

For outstanding quality, my 686.

For style, my Airblaster. I'll find out this year the quality of Airblaster.

I'm really happy with my purchase for a saga suit! Such sick quality, and it keeps me dry and warm, and it's so light, you don't even recognise wearing.

I'm a pretty big fan. Warm, good fit, seems pretty durable so far. We'll see how it holds up as the season so far, but thus far i'm pretty happy with it.
