haha you almost had it. Actually, saga feels crazy thin because it's a shell. With a hoodie/thermal (I feel like the only person whose ever mentioned hot chili's on here. haha) it's great. I kinda want to try FD. My saga (last year. kinda) has holes from my bindings and I get snowballs inbetween the layers on the cuff so I may be looking for new pants soon.

Wow already? My resort hasn't even been open that long. haha. I'd say i've got 40 days from me, and at least 100 from the previous owner of my pants.

Im disappointed with First Drop beyond words. They couldnt email me for at least 2 weeks, then decided to wait to call me. That was saying that they didnt have my choices. By the time I actually got the info, basically everything is sold out, except for the shitty color combos. This sucks. Now I have to cancel my order (which wasnt cheap) and somehow somewhere find a totally new suit.

so i emailed first drop just giving my 2 cents on some improvements regarding fit, more pockets and just the overall quality of the gear and they were really open to what i had to say which is really refreshing to see that they are taking into consideration some of my suggestions.

on a not so light note, i used that pocket on the left sleeve to hold some quarters in it and when i went to get them they were magically gone. a hole ripped in it and the coins were actually inside the jacket. kinda pissed about that. the material used on the inside (sleeves, bottom of the pants) is really thin and i would love to see that get changed to something a little more quality and durable but after three days of walking around in my pants they havent ripped so the durability is pretty good.

also heard that this shit floods vt. just as bad as in ny.

Alright so i ordered XL Orange n' Yellow jacket and XL Blue n' Yellow pants in october. well that fucked up. got stuff arrange with David and within a few hours of the mishap i had XL Blue jacket and XL Blue n' Black pants + a free XXL Black Thermal with upgraded express shipping, great customer service from First Drop. anyways here is a pic, i am between 5'10 and 5'11 I'd say (the thermal is a bit longer than the jacket)

fuck fd. learn how to properly put up a size chart. my girlfriend got me a xxl tee to wear skiing and its 4 inches shorter than it says on the size chart which is fucking bull shit. dont advertise something that isnt true.

for anyone who wants to know a xxl tee is only 34" not 38"

I understand everyone starts somewhere, but this looked like he hadn't even mastered the art of actually skiing properly yet.

and honestly who skis powder wearing a waterproof vest? Thats just silly

exactly...38inches is not 43inches which is what it says on their site.

dont get me wrong i love my suit, it keeps my toasty warm and not many suits can do that, but jesus get your shit together and actually have a proper size chart up. no one wants to order something, and get something 4 inches smaller...
