Our Virtika V3 outerwear just arrived today so we've begun shipping early! All accessories and V4 outerwear will ship during the first week of November, probably even a bit sooner. Your order will ship when ALL items are in stock.

Order a jacket or pants and get a free beanie, balaclava, or bandana. Order a whole suit and get a free Y3 regular or reversible hoodie. This deal will end on Friday (10/26) at Midnight.

US customers get free shipping on orders over $250 by entering "FREEUSASHIPPING" during checkout.

We're looking forward to another great year. Thanks for all your support!

Shipping to Canada is 3-5 times more expensive than shipping to anywhere in the US. It depends of course on the size/weight of what you're shipping (and what service you choose), but take for example us having to ship a suit (weighs around 7 lbs) to US vs. Canada:

Fedex anywhere in the US for a suit is around $15. The cheapest way to ship to Canada is USPS (and it avoids customs 99.9% of the time) which is around $45-$50. In comparison, shipping that same suit to Japan or New Zealand may cost around $150!

If you go on Fedex's website and look up retail prices, you'll be amazed. We get huge discounts because of the volume we ship, and we pass along those savings to our customers. Hope that helps!

You must not have checked Saga's website recently. They are charging $307 to ship 2 suits to Canada via USPS. They say it's "free shipping", but you have to pay $307 in "taxes" during checkout. If you want to ship with Fedex, its $336.

BTW- no company is able to ship outerwear in flat rate boxes, it doesn't fit! Flat rate boxes are only a good deal for small, compact, heavy items.

Trust us, we know what we're doing when it comes to shipping! We have spent YEARS fine tuning everything to be able to offer our customers the cheapest, fastest, more secure shipping with the least likely hood of having to pay customs!!!

saying paying 307 in taxes is not "shipping cost, plus the cost of the suits."

I'm not sure what method of USPS shipping they use, but we use Priority w/ delivery confirmation and insurance. We charge around $90 to ship 2 suits to Australia. Also, keep in mind our suits weight quite a bit more (and take up more space) because they are insulated. That probably accounts for the price difference.

Just some quick math for 2 suits going to Aussie:
- 2 saga suits = $976 + $67 shipping = $1,043 (USD)
- 2 FD Virtika V3 suits = $860 + $90 shipping = $950 (USD)
- 2 FD Virtika V4 suits = $940 + $90 shipping = $1,030 (USD)
Either way, our gear is a better deal!
And don't forget, we are also giving away free hoodies (regular or reversible) with every suit purchase which means you'd get $128 in free hoodies. We also pay for the extra shipping cost in shipping those free hoodies so it REALLY becomes a better deal.

Hope everyone is partying for Halloween this weekend. I know we are!

First Drop hate is getting old now. Okay, their outerwear used to be complete shit (don't know if that has changed) but almost all the people who have hate have never owned any FD. First Drop is bring a product to the sport. Nothing wrong with that. Plus they seem to be promoting their business a little better (this thread for an example). Keep it up FD!

OMG like what if you guys got a vaccum sealer, and sucked all the air and needless bulk out of these international packages, easily slide them into flat rate boxes and then you can charge half the shipping and get free boxes. I know crazy theory, and why i dont run a company like this just shocks me.

ya I pre-ordered a NS Collab and the only option was $20 2-day shipping. If i'm pre-ordering it i'm pretty sure I can wait a week or two and pay next to nothing for shipping, and I already have to wait a month before it ships... why?

Yeah, that doesn't sound right. There should be other options besides 2-day shipping. In the US, we offer Fedex Ground, 2-day Air, Overnight, and USPS (cheapest option) for smaller orders.
