After peeping some of the 2015 line up, it's made me realize that the company is going nowhere with there line ups. 2012's anomie line up was dope af, but all there now just doesn't spark me as something i would spend 200+ on. but whatever, most of there money is coming from 12 year olds moms

SteezyMageeA part of me agrees with the cosmetic part of it, but I feel like a ton of the nostalgia is due to wanting old skiing back. Back when Brogan and afterbang were a huge thing... Wanting the old style of outerwear because its associated with the "golden age" of freeskiing.


I think you hit the nail on the head. Everyone likes to look back and remember how good things were and has such fond memories. I can almost gurantee in 5 years people who are just getting into freeskiing right now will be saying they wish things were like 2013/14 again.

Ivy League and Tempe are dope. You can't deny, they are maturing.

Baltothey peaked with moss/scuba/beaver fur, you noobs don't even know good saga


Personally I'm stoked to see the beaver fur back in the lineup. Now I can wear the pants with my OG moss jacket

duhbigeI don't not not not like saga but OP's mom is hot


*Bougie*Sagas stuff hasn't quite been the same since about 2010


Agreed. They come out with a new line every year with all these different patterns and colors, fuck that.

I don't think I've seen one piece from Saga that I wouldn't wear.

All you haters should start your own outerwear company, I can imagine the rock bottom low cost and trill af designs already!

they try to make it look more flashy but it just ends up looking retarded. there older jackets are more plain, but the new ones look stupid.

In my opinion, this year is one of the best works produced by saga. It all looks really nice, clean, and creative. They have come into their own unique style that is dedicated to skiers.

This year is definitely the best. There is something for everyone. I loved the older stuff, the OG beaverfur, scuba, moss, and even the next two years lines. Having the throw back this year is something that I really hope to see people wearing on the hill. The fatigue line looks fantastic and a few of the monarchs look good too. The past three years have all looked the same and have been pretty boring IMO. This year is certainly different. I loved everything 09 and earlier, but the quality and extense of the line have gotten incredibly better. Good work saga.

After looking at it more, I take back what I said about it being bad. I think that their expansion into new lines/styles is good, because I'm not a huge fan of the anomie anymore, besides a few colors. However, the fatigue and monarch lines are on point. I think if I were going to get more fitted stuff, saga would be perfect IMO, I just don't see buying any anomie jackets in the future (neutral color pants are fine)

unfortunately "said no one ever".

We loved the back vent. It was a unique feature that had form and function. But no one really took notice of it and it caused issues with sizing, fit and production of our jackets. RIP back vent. Maybe one day you will return. cough throw back cough.

Well...its 100% true. Saga gets uglier by the year. From 2012 to 2015.

Seems like Saga moved on "mass market", to get more "non-fasion" clients , just to get more money and more sales. Its good for the compamy , for the business.

But its really ruins Saga's outstanding style.
Its a shame. Saga's clothes became ordinary and boring.
I caught myself thinkin' - I'm really want to buy some older saga's stuff, definitaly not what they are producing now..://// And on my opinion - Saga was one of the best styled outwear companies on the market.

I can understand why a lot of people view the new Saga gear as ugly, but regarding the features and attention to detail, everything is still there and I think some of the new gear is dope as fuck.
