the most obvious ones to look at are saga and first drop, you can get a dope looking whiteout suit for around $400, but beyond that just look around

Whiteout is really hard to get ahold of.
Dont really think its even available in the us. Norrona owns it tho. So you could give a norrona dealer a call.

Ooo.. Whiteout, quality stuff! But have you found a place to see their 10-11 stuff? They are certainly taking their time with releasing a catalog and a new website, their current one is 2 years old or so. You can see some stuff on the blog, but not enough to get a real impression unfortunately. :(

I see Norønna have made a push to the American markets (at least to backcountry.com), but Whiteout is an under branch company, and I've heard it's pretty tough getting it outside of Scandinavia. At least I've never seen it anywhere else, and I've been to quite a few places around Europe.

It's not to hard to get the hands on it here in Norway.

They are showing a couple new pieces, nice colors.  I've been interested in their stuff so buy it and let us know how it is.

Skistore doesn't actually charge that much for shipping to NA and I'm pretty sure you can automatically take 17% off any of the prices because we don't have to pay VAT, but then of course add on duty and tax when it gets to you.

It was a couple weeks ago that I looked last but yeah, whatever isn't discounted is new stuff for this year.  I think it shows a couple pieces using Goretex Soft shell.

Prices are pretty steep, 10k (I'm assuming the prices at skistore are in SEK) for the jacket and pants. That's around the same price as top of the line arc'teryx, norønna etc here in Scandinavia. Not sure I'm willing to pay that much, could get Sweet instead and almost have money left for a season pass.

Then again the cosmonaut stuff is their most high-tech gear, previously they've had parkas and thinner gore-tex jackets that cost quite a bit less at the cost of waterproofing, but I haven't seen any of that stuff yet. Not sure it even exists...

Really hope they haven't only made one pair of really expensive pants and a jacket for this season. :/
