I thought the same thing. Almost ordered the jacket but I was afraid it would be the red like in the pic.

Darkness jacket is perfect. Find me a pair of pants that dont look good with a black jacket. Idk if they exist.(as long as theyre a legit pair of pants and not goodwill crap) Ironicly I think a black jacket would look strange with black pants though. haha

Good catch. Its the absence of color.

no its not. its literally not a color at all. Why do you think websites with black backgrounds use less energy? because your monitor doesent need to show color/backlight it. NS is more of a grey on the sides though.

You're wrong.  Mrstskier is right.  Black is a shade.  Along with grey, and any tone of grey.  I'm not too sure about white though.  That might be a shade too, but I'm not sure.

No. white is definately a color. Black is the absence of color. Go look in an 8th grade earth science textbook. Or google. Finding a book like that seems to be more logical though.

Strictly speaking, from a physics standpoint, things that are black, are black because they reflect no light (photons), and absorbs everything (but very few things are totally black though). Whereas white reflect all the light, and absorbs nothing (again very few things are totally white), but if you look at it from an art perspective I guess you could say it's a shade.

customs is based entirely off of the customs agent you get and how the package is declared and how much the package is valued at.

then what the fuck are you trying to say? as a receiver of purchased goods you MIGHT have to pay customs duties, depending on what the customs agent decides.... the fact that saga outerwear has to pay to ship to canada is irrelevant, what you pay for shipping is an amount set by saga when you purchase goods, and then once it goes through the border additional duties are paid by either side, depending on if there are any or not..

i know.
say saga ships out a full suit to me and i pay for it. saga is shipping out as a company. they mark their suit half of market value. the package value still isnt low enough to not pay customs. when saga shipped out my baordshorts. both times they were marked at $10 for the package value. so i didnt have to pay taxes.
there is a certain package value price limit when you start paying customs.
say i am shipping out a full saga suit to you. i mark the package value at $50. and i mark it as a gift. you wont have to pay customs taxes because i am shipping it out and i am not a company.

when i sent out my first package, i marked the package value as $100 and the buyer didnt have to pay taxes what so ever

yeah, i never said that wasnt how it works, but it is ultimately up to the customs official how much you pay in the end, and how long it stays in customs, there may be a set value that you have to pay duties once it has been passed, but the actual amount is up to the official who deals with your goods, wether you pay the minimum, or double that..

well i have 300 bucks to do what i want with, but many other things i need/want. so i could get a second jacket and feel somewhat guilt free, and pay for the other stuff and be in the red, or i could use the 300 bucks on that....

1 jacket is more than enough. save it for lift tickets and gas money. If thats paid for now, then save it for new skis or when passes arent paid for.
