Not trying to be a dick but wet suits only keep u warm in water,they get completely soaked, but yeah my saga pants feel like a dry suit and water slides right off, though never had Orage but thinking of getting a jacket next year

Orage is very nice. I have owned 4 Orage jackets and a few pairs of pants and have always been happy. Very light warm insulation and great quality fabric.

I also had an orage jacket all year and then bought saga when the sale was on, and they're both awesome. My orage jacket was definitely not a jacket, but not as thin as a shell either, which was really nice. But other than my Saga seeming to be more waterproof (given the orage is like 2-3 years old), I would recommend both

I have both and I'd have too say that I love both the same. If you only want a shell go with saga and if you want a warmer jacket go with orage.

I have owned both last years Saga and Orage. Both have kept me dry, but the Saga deteriorated in one season. Keep in mind it was last years Saga, but still. The Orage is still going strong.

Both are great, my suit this year is Orage and Saga and I like both, B-Dog jacket and Syrup pants, both are really nice quality. I do think it would be cool though if Saga did a line where they had both shells and insulated jackets for us people on the east coast.

Ew a Gypsy.

I have a bluegoo vest and multiple pieces of Orage, both are definitely quality. I have always been an Orage fan. Water proofing on Orage is better in my opinion. Although I have skied my bluegoo vest in straight rain twice and I stayed dry underneath. But none of my Orage has ever soaked that bad into even the outerlayer.
