i recently got a saga jacket due to the 40 percent off sale thing. i think its popular because its quality,FIT,sick colors, and it is more of a "ski brand" ran by skiers.i just got some of the spring clothing and im pumped to see the quality of that

Oakley isn't bad if you go to the Oakley Vault, but besides that, yeah, but for good reason.

that's what medium is for...think about the numerous advantages/pros of their outerwear, not just the length

um... What? Honestly, if I am freeriding, I want something that doesn't sit on my thighs, and if I am touring/mountaineering, I am gonna have a real jacket.

This years Saga is way more tech than years past. And he was saying a medium would be more of a traditional fit, if thats what you are looking for.

But keep hating for the sake of hating on everyone in "fake" jackets if thats what your into, we're all having a great time though.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for 3 layer fabrics, and functionality. But I don't see the ultra long cut as being functional. And a Medium is almost too thin for me, and a Large is definitely way too big. Saga is also a big improvement over the "steeze" of the Tangerine Dream days.

I am a much bigger fan of the Armada jackets that used eVent. Definitely the best fabric out there.

its dope when you live in Michigan and you only see 1 or 2 other people wearing it. unlike kids that buy burton n volcom n all that and you see 10 kids wearing the exact same thing every time you go out to ride

people got good quality full 3L suits with 20K waterproofing for 400 shipped during presale. not to mention the jackets are steezy as hell, fit taller, sponsor and is run by people directly associated with newschool skiing, and come in good color combos. what's not to like? and i personally only have a crew and a knit pack from them, the knit pack i got from the sale.

Their first year stuff wasn't too great, but their new stuff is sweet. My friend has a fd suit and I was checkin it out recently and the material seems to be very waterproof, stylish, well thought-out, and well-executed.
