my friend got an orage jacket and it literally fell apart, and he hardly ever fell or did anything, the seams all just came undone

hey i have the jacket....umm well i bought it really cheap from a friend who barley used it so i have only ridden with it like once or twice last season....it was really warm and nice it didnt like shatter when i fell either but i cant say how long it will hold.....ill find out when the season comes..oh ya i also have the Dpv1 orage jacket and that thing is tough not a single thread is pokin out or anything cept it could be more water proof on the shoulders and all around.....but orage makes pretty good jackets, i dont know if you should get them for retail price though cause there hella $$$ so just try to find them for cheap.

Orage jackets at stylie for walking around town but a liftie I know had one and just carrying her skis on her shoulder ripped thru a shoulder before february last year. I have an M61 jacket and mine is still going strong. Also, you have something like a 120 day stitching guarantee with most jackets and with avalanche jackets you have like a year or two.

IHOP you could try to wash it with nikwax (think I spelled that right) and it will help to waterproof it and should help seal up the seems from water. Not a perfect fix but it's always a good idea to wash coats in that stuff once a year. Just helps to rebuild the waterproof protection on them.

they sell the stuff in aerosol cans at shoe stores for waterproofing non-leather shoes. I use it on hats to keep my head dry.

finding the right jacket is easy, finding the right pant is hard. right now I use a firefly pant and its ok but not the look I really want.

yeah i dont know how there jackets are but the pants i bought from them are frigen bullet proof, i killed my rossi pants in a month, and that was before i even had a real park, but the pants last a long time, maybe the jackets are as good
