Outerwear help

II am currently still using black  pants from my gaper days. They are ripped and lost all waterproof qualities.

 I am not really picky with the style but was wondering when is the best time to buy outerwear. I was looking at FD/virtika (specifically at the v3 and v4 pants) and was wondering about the quality/ sizing.

I am 5"8ish and 155. I dont like it really baggy just a bit. Which would be the best-> small medium or large? Or should I just wait for a more sales later in the year? I have never owned saga, bloom or any other popular ski outerwear so looking for someone to point me in the right direction.

Saga is pretty sick. I wear large pants and I'm about 5'10" so large should work well for you! Not sure how other brands are sized but I think large would be ok.

Saga is really nice but a bit expensive. Also their stuff runs bagge so a large will be loose, not crazy but if you want a "regular" fit id go with mediums

If you do go with Saga, the Fatigue pants are a lot less baggy than the Anomies

If your looking at virtika, now is the time to buy. 50-70 percent off outerwear. I would go with medium or large

Lethal Descent
Bloom
Virtika
Saga

All good, virtika is super cheap right now so if they have something you find appealing now'd be the time to buy. I have some saga pants and a bloom jacket, love them. Friends of mine also got some lethal descent khaki colored pants that he loves.
