If your going for warmth get the corked suit. i've tried both on and they both don't feel super warm but fari suit is definitely more of a tech shell feeling than the corked.

He's not a trendwhore because he's buying this years gear?

Anyway I bought the corked jacket and to be honest it's not that insulated basically a shell with a slight bit of insulation.

This. It depends on what you're doing. Corked is more insulated and has more bells and whistles. Everything oakley is universally sized.

well, there are lot of shells with those amounts of waterproofing and breathability, i think the difference is on the insulation

I own the Fari jacket, it is not insulated. The front kind of feels like it is because theres a big goggle pocket or something that is fleece lined I think, but other than that it is mostly just the outer layer of the coat and a mesh liner. Not sure about the cork suit, I've tried it on as well, it is meant to be insulated but to me didn't feel much warmer than the Fari
