ok, now i'm confused. besides clothes, what do oakley and orage both make that would prompt a comparison between the two? clothes don't count because they're not really gear, they all more or less do the same thing.

In the last few seasons oakley gear has been amazing quality. even their bottom line outerwear is such well made. but orage is very good aswell... both companies make equally high quality gear but i feel that oakley quality is sustained from their cheapest to most expensive gear. expensive orage gear is good quality but i feel their cheaper products are of less quality than the cheaper oakley products.... hope this helped.. both amazing gear.

hmm okay sweet thanks that help a ton.
well yeah i am looking at both top end products ( primed suit and gibson/JP auclair suit )
the one thing i noticed about the orage is that they have the silicon lining on the bottom of the pants so you dont rip them up with your edges and also on the shoulders for carrying them i guess, but then again i could also just sew on that bulletproof nylon material onto the primed suit.
+++ karma by the way much appreciated

The Oakley products have been amazing these past couple years, and i mean everything they make. Orage is good too but not as high quality as Oakley although their value may be about the same or even favor Orage a little bit.

Orage 100%. Everyone I have known with Oakley outerwear has had terrible things to say about it, I have only heard that the quality is absolutely garbage.

oakley has better pants but orage has better jackets. the xavier jacket, the more expensive orage is better that the corked, but the corked pa t is better
