What's up guys! I'm looking for some good stuff for skiing and I want to order SAGA Crest logo pullover, Anomie pants and Academics base layer. What size is better for me L or XL? I love bigger clothes, but not to big. I'm 182cm, 72kg
And second question is - How about Atomic Infamous skis? What u thinking about these skis?

Sorry for bad english :(

L for a more standard fit, XL for a baggier look.

As for the infamous, I don't know too much about them, being new for the 2014 season. But I am sure there are people on here who can tell you about them, also as the southern hemisphere season goes on, I'm sure more opinions/reviews about them will come out.

The infamous is a very fun ski. It's wider then the punx with a little more rocker and a softer flex in the tip an tail but stiff underfoot. All this adds up to a ski which can rip on the groomers but also be super playfull in the park. I really liked the punx but the infamous are better in my opinion. They are loads of fun. You can ride them pretty short too. The test pair I was given were 171 when I normally ride 176 or 181. Never though did they feel to small really, I'm getting the 176 instead of 181 which I would normally get. They re full symmetrical and ride switch really well, they are light and the swing weight was low. Best of all they are price point so won't break the bank.

Thanks for INFO!!
This time I want longer skis, because now I'm skiing with 163cm Nordica DoubleSix and it's to short for me :D
I think 181cm will be good.
And the last question is - What bindings better? FFG 10 or FFG 12? I'm not a begginer, but not a pro. Like I said my weight is ~72kg, my boot size is 27.5/315mm

That is a pretty massive jump size wise. You could probably handle it but why not go 176. I'm about 5'10 so about the Sam height as you an I ride them in 176. It's honestly a ski you don't need to ride long.

Binding wise I would not get either of those. Look for the new sth2 13. You can get either the atomic or salomon version it's the same binding. If your looking for last seasons get the sth 12 driver.

I think I'd go with L for the saga stuff. Im wearing xxl for jacket and xl pants, but Im 1,96m and it still isn't "not-baggy". Not like its really baggy for me, but just a bit bigger than normal sized which I find more or less perfect!

tomPietrowski: I want longer skis for higher speed and bigger jumps. I know it's harder to learn something new, but when u learn it, then easier to do with shorter skis. But ok, I'll think about it, maybe I order 176cm :) Thanks man for feedback!

HolySchimmel$: For example I want clothes style like Tim Durtschi in this photo:

But he's 6'2 (189cm) and he's wearing XL. Then for me better L, yeah?
