so for some reason i got an e-mail saying that momentum ski camp/SMS clothing is having a big sale on their stuff. i went to their site, and got interested in the

shelta jacket
http://www.smsclothing.com/content.php?id=shelta-jacket

and

shelta pants
http://www.smsclothing.com/content.php?id=shelta-pant


after e-mailing them and finding that i could get both in my size for a little over 200 bucks total, i got interested, aside from this.

the e-mail said
"Note that the Shelta gear is made of a nice lightweight fabric, so is not suited for heavy duty wear. If you're hard on your gear or will be skiing a lot then we recommend one of our other styles in a shell."


What does this mean? anyone have experience with this company or this jacket or pants? it does say its 20,000 MM and 3L fabric. idk what this means.

thanks

SMS makes some pretty sweet stuff. I have a friend who has an SMS suit from a few years bak (not the year they "took a break", but the year before) and he's still wearing the pants and the jacket's fine he just replaced it with a saga jacket. It's a shame they're not around anymore, their Riddler Suit is one of the sickest suits out there. $200 is a great price, I'd go for it.

I'm in the exact same situation. I told myself no new outerwear this year, but this is such a steal!

I went to Momentum and John Smart took us to the offices and told us that he was kinda disappointed with the way those jackets came out because they weren't as durable as he had hoped. He still said they were sick but they could have been made way better. Pretty cool when the owner can say stuff like that. I hope they come back eventually.

Its shitty quality. They went under for a reason. They are super thin and come apart very easy. I have the coat so I am speaking out of experience.

I was in the the shelta jacket/pants set up for a season and I didn't really have any complaints.  Only had like 1 powder day with it but it held up alright.  It is super thin material but if you throw a few layers on it's fine.  You might want to size up for that reason too.
