hey ns
so for the last 2 years i've been a pretty big saga fan but this year after seeing henrik and torin shred i thought i might give armada a chance, so here's the deal

im 181cm (6ft i think) and i weigh out at 79Kg (12 stone i think)... ye i'm european

so i was looking around and its basically impossible to still find XXL armada scout jackets in black and XXL inrun pants, so my dilema now is do i quickly rush and grab up a pair of XXL saga fatigue pants and jacket or should i settle for an XL armada scout jacket instead of XXL

my big problem is this, does the saga fatigue fit like last years shutout, when i mean fit i mean does it have the same general width around the specifically the bottom of the jacket. i ordrerd myself an XXL shutout last year and ended up only wearing it 1 time, its a really sick piece but i found myself kinda constricted inside.
long story short, does the fatigue jacket from this year have quite a tight width at the bottom of the jacket

thanks for any reply's and +K

if youre worried about how tight the bottom of the jacket will be why are you ordering a fatigue? its the slim verison of the anomie...

dude, just get what is the best looking/highest quality. don't buy a jacket because henrik or torin wears it (though they are sick)

Dog the Fatigue is way too skinny in XXL, I thought. As for Armada, I found my jacket to be really high quality, and the fit was literally exactly what I wanted. I would go for Armada any day of the week if I were you.

The fatigue jackets are not quite as narrow as the shut outs. Plus the materials are different so the feeling isn't the same. The shut outs material is heavier feeling so I can see how you would feel restricted if it was a little too small.

in the end im probably gonna end up ordering saga XXL because i really like the way the company is going and i already know the quality they supply

but if i do manage to stumble on a site selling XXL inrun pants + XL scout jacket i might be tempted by armada

thanks for all the feedback, especially from saga, its a massive plus to be able get personal info from the company and thats probably whats gonna make me balance towards getting saga.

Most likely XL, maybe even L. If that's the kind of fit your looking for, then I would recommend XL for sure.

I think you'll definately be satisfied with Armada's quality if you buy the scout, plus the fit is on point.

I'm 5'11/180cm 220lbs/100kg and wear a armada jacket in xxl but I forget what model of jacket it is but its a 10K/10K and its a yellow/orange for colors and for me it fits thug as fuck. I forget which pro was wearing it but he was wearing the same jacket I had in eye trip on a big up flat down rail. If you need me to take pics I can do that for you
