I think the saga fatigue is a slim fit and its saga so it'll be long. Bloom looks somewhat slim.

Our gear is slim and slender. Are XXL jacket is pretty tall, but isn't excessively baggy through the torso area for example. We also have a tailored slim pant which isn't too tight, but definitely accentuates the fine legs you got.

Bloom is super legit for slimmer style outerwear. Personally I love their slims series pants. Saga fatigues are nice too tho.

I would go with bloom, Saga's durability always seems really hit and miss. For example, my one friend's cinch cord on his fatigue jacket broke while he was adjusting it, days before the jacket had even seen use, and the cuffs on the pants were absolutely destroyed before the season was out. But then I also know people who have used the same Saga gear for years and seem completely satisfied.

On the other hand. I've owned bloom personally, and know other people who have as well, and I've never heard a single complaint about their gear from anyone. The pants didn't have the baggy fit I was looking for, but they were bombproof, comfortable and well functioning. I would give them a go again for sure if I ever get out of the super baggy style.

Some of the new armada gear comes in a slimmer fit than there usual standard baggier fit.
One of my mates actually has a pair of armada trousers from a few seasons ago that are slim. All just depends on the fit of each product. Armada gear is expensive but the attention to detail and quality is second to none.

a_shaky_gifi like fd wear! i just got some black and gray v4 pants in an xl. theyre super baggy ( just how i like them) and im 6 ft 1 inch. so if your looking for a good fit i would go large


I also got some V4 FD wear end if last season on clearance, and I love it. I got large but it's still super baggy and big, but I'm like 5'10 there stuff seems pretty legit so far, but I've only worn it like 3 times at end of season. I like the jacket a ton becuase its warm and waterproof, but if it's warmer outside(spring skiing) you can zip off the sleeves and open a bunch of vents. Basically a jacket and a vest, and got it for 100$ so I'm happy
