Lethal Descent way more durable saga is like a tarp, the only thing better is 20k waterproof instead of 10k waterproof. I have Lethal and its legit, and when they are sole out, they are completely sold out man, so go with the lethal descent.

I like both companies but personally I would go for LDC.... They are a sick small company that has a lot less support then saga.

just to let you know.... the lethal descent pockets on that suit are not black. they are a dark brown and is very noticable. it clashes so bad with black pants or pants with black in them...

Saga all the way I got saga this year cus I heard so much good stuff about it its so legit. 20K vs. 10K hmmmmm. I ran my saga sleeve under the water in my sink and it ran. right off the jacket. My friends also have had saga and never had a problem with it once. its constructed reall well. Im not saying LDC sucks im just saying that everyone that says saga sucks is wrong Its super nice ive heard people say its better quality than oakley, and other big companies. I have never owned LDC but my friend got it this year so I will have to try it on

Though clearly I am biased in the issue I would like to point out a few things.

First, this year's gear is much higher in quality than that of previous years. I don't think any customer would disagree.

Also, testing waterproofing by running it under the sink does not give you an accurate depiction of the waterproofing. Both LDC and Saga have a DWR that keeps water from even reaching the laminate. Only once this coating wears off and your jacket feels heavy with water will you be utilizing the lamination.

As always, shoot me a pm with any questions.,

when a company in the winter sports industry sells out. they are sold out. not just saga - everyone else too.

Shops restock if they can, not companies.....next year just think sooner. Considering that the gear is available to anyone in the entire world and is the most sought after core ski company - it makes sense that they are selling out.
