If I see another earthtone two color block article of clothing I will scream.

Wtf happened to unique prints? How are my buddies supposed to spot me when I’m wearing the same stupid Forest green and khaki combo as every other dumbass on the mountain?

Also why the hell is good stuff like $450+ now? What happened to $300 being top of line?

I going to hop into my time machine and go back to 2011, it sucks here

muffMan.11/12 is goated for saga. Dropped the best camo and the colored ones are sick too.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TAll three brands decided to stop making unique outerwear. Now they either don’t exist or are no longer relevant.



I agree that muted colors suck but aside from the g suit these tops are pretty jarring and abysmal, as was pretty much all jiberish and saga that I can remember besides a few select pieces

Gotcha, yea people still seem to really like the OG Saga/Jibberish tops to this day. They should make a comeback

Don’t get me wrong Saga and jiberish both dropped some fucking timeless heat but I feel like a lot of their older stuff I just wouldn’t wear today

calling this tastfeul is crazy


what's important is that the overall design/pattern is actually interesting and takes inspiration from streetwear. as opposed to making you look like a couple of rectangles drawn in MSPaint.
colors on this one are tacky but all saga has come in multiple colorways.

Totally agree. I was having similar thoughts to OP but then realized I just don't care about fits the way I used to. There's also just way more outerwear on the market than there used to be so naturally a lot more mediocrity.

I can't fully make out the logo at the top, is that Montec? If so Montec & Dope Snow are owned by the same company...

You’re still here?! I genuinely can’t believe that you’re still here doing this. 20 years of trolling and you never lost interest and you’ve still never skied. Amazing.

Good to see some aspects of this place haven’t changed. Wouldn’t feel like home without you lmfao

Oh you're totally right it was burton custom coat. I would like to see the oakley air raid suit come back, or outerwear like that.

On another note, one jacket im really pissed i never bought was t walls mahalo TNF jacket.


These colors go IMO

For fuck sake we get it. Your parents are rich. Stop flexin on us scum all the time.

I could get like 15-20 hoodies for that price. I used to wear hoodies on pow days because I could afford a first drop hoodie but not a jacket lol


I just bought a barely used goretex pro alpha FL on locals sale for 180$ lol, if u pay msrp for arcteryx you’re not trying hard enough. Shits so high quality that used stuff is still super solid. Expecting to own this jacket for another 10 years

$450 is almost middle of the board, some of the insulated goretex gear out there is like $800+ nowadays.

I feel like Dimito and Picture Organic are both coming out with some cool and different designs and Spyder returning to freeski has put out some good stuff. Trew gear deserves a shout too. If you dont like it then find something unique off geartrade or snowshare or something, no one is boxing you into a style but yourself

jackets like this look kinda ass in official product photos but go ridiculously hard when they're oversized and paired with like black parachute pants or something

Capeesh and lead are both similar to harlaut pants

When I suddenly die, or can't ski any more they will be for sale again!
If I am murdered, they will all be burned, and go up in smoke. ;-)

Doesn’t have to be clown puke. Seems like everything now is the same 2-tone shit with zero texture or color variation to break things up visually.

Saga really started settling into some tasteful designs in the mid teens. Absolutely blows that they’re gone. They left a galaxy-sized hole in the industry that no one has filled.

I loved saga and had a ton, but they definitely had a few trash designs and the quality was pretty questionable. Case in point, the purple three kings jacket is fucking hideous.
