Bought a suit at the start of November and took a while to ship because the brand is based out of Austria but it was well worth the wait. The waterproofing is great the colors are awesome the insulation and fabric is top notch and the jackets have tons of features that just add even more awesome to an already great jacket. If your wondering about sizing it is not as big as the chart says. I am 6 foot or 6 foot 1 somewhere in that range and the 4XL goes down to the top of my kneecap. I will post some pics of the stuff in a bit!. Thanks Fas.c for an awesome suit!

Not at all very well built all the seams are taped very well and the fabric feels very durable. The waterproofing is top notch and water just beads up and off the jacket when i poured some on it. Extremely warm as well.

SO you haven't actually worn it skiing yet, but you're already reviewing it and saying that it's quality and waterproofing are top notch...ummm I don't think that's how it works.

Look just giving some insight before i ski in it. I see your point but I'm not sure what you are trying to prove with it other than yes I have not skied in it but nonetheless if outerwear is quality you can certainly know it without having to ski in it. I can easily make out the differences between my friends nike 6.0 jacket and my trew jacket without skiing in them.

I will post pics soon. Abe waterproof ratings dont mean everything. Earlier I saw a good article on outerwear someone posted and should be checked out. Honestly unless you have something worthwhile to say then just dont post, its not a hard concept to follow.

this. i'll be happy to hear your review in a couple months after you've skied in it, not while you were playing dress up.

Very true but then again I have a Full Trew suit, Hestra Seth Morrison's, and enough other stuff to the point where that becomes less of an issue. This is just my sunny cold park day/not raining or dumping suit. I am prepared for all conditions

I will take it out this week in some powder and see how it does but for now it just feels a lot like quality gear. Sorry about that but no need to hate or anything.
