so i have money and i am thinking about getting a fd suit, but i heard it gets wet after like two months. and i want a good company. i do not want to say good and cheap because cheap shit sucks. could anyone tell me about a company that is nice, tight and good not pushing the purse to much?

If you get Fd I hope you gear to ability ratio is good enough. I would hate to see you have to hate yourself.

My friend was super stoked on his FD suit at first, but he hates it now. He says the zipper's are breaking non-stop, waterproofing is terrible, and the fit sucks ass. My 15/15k Moment suit is way more waterproof than his 20/20k FD suit. FD sucks ass.

yea i'm sorry i got saga pants new for 108 shipped off of saga's website. i'm sorry that a 20k/20k waterproofed pant at that price is unheard of. but i'm really sorry that you feel the need to steal your sisters snowpants.




nothing against gypsy skiers, i love em, but he put down teg almighteh saga

Idk what it is... But nobody ever seems to have consistant experiences with gear. Some people say FD is shit, or Saga isn't waterproof... I have used both and they are so nice and never let me down. Plus they look so damn steezy...

I would assume that it would get wet a a lot quicker than two months if you happened to fall in a lake.
