I've been looking into the Saga Shutout JV jacket and have been wondering how it fits. It looks like a slimmer jacket that goes well with Slims. But I have seen it used in a baggier style. Thoughts and info?

I'm not a fan...durability isn't awesome (it's not the worst...but still not great) and I'm not a fan of how they run their company. Any other questions, feel free to PM me...I don't want to thread jack this kid.

i have the shutout varsity. im 6'4 and it deffinately does not fit like a normal xl saga jacket. its a bit shorter and a lot slimmer. but it still works well with baggy pants. just cant sag as much...

I got them at full price, so the Jacket was $120 and the Pants were $170...but they're much cheaper now. (you can get the whole kit for under $200)

I have both black and grey. I wear the black ones more (cause of work) but I prefer the grey ones with that jacket (although the black ones look pretty good too...you really can't go wrong either way).

That is such a solid setup, how is the waterproofing/breathability and warmth?

It's pretty good...they're not the most waterproof pants I own, the Jacket is more of a glorified sweatshirt (a little thicker and has better pockets). It makes a really good jacket for days when it's too warm for a real jacket but too cold for a hoodie (if you layer enough it'll be pretty warm, but not really waterproof at all).

Still works to a decent level I'm assuming. Do you get pretty drenched?

It works perfectly fine as long as it's not raining/snowing.

I see, and a quick question back on the size. I am 5'8 too, where does this jacket come down on you. Mid thigh, a little higher?
