Cheapest 3L outerwear?

I thought I lucked out on a SICK Eira 3L 20k Offender jacket on sale but it turns out that the only size available in the right colour was small. The other colours were bitchass bright yellow and bright orange.


Anyway, do you guys have other suggestions for affordable 3L pants or jackets? I'm currently looking everywhere. Thanks

Check out the Virtika line. I'm more than happy with my 3L outerwear.

A nike dealer sold me a new ACG jacket for $8 once, beat that.

That's unreal. I wonder if $8 was just a trivial number.. he probably just went and bought lunch with it.

I went and checked my current jacket which turns out to be 3L, I'm so stupid, and I worked out a deal with a buddy for a brand new pair of goretex AK pants

Saga's 3l stuff gets super cheap when it's on sale (if you're in canada d structure has them for like 60% off or something like that) virtika too, although I have no experience with either.

I've always been a fan of armada outerwear. Picked up a gore text coat (ripton) from them for $315. It fits fairly long for a tech jacket and that price is super low for gore tex.

If you want to get cheaper, high quality 3L outerwear, wait until April 2015. Most companies will be marking their stuff ~50% off. So a quality 3L jacket goes from $400-$500 to $200.

I got my current shell from Faction last season for $200 shipped and absolutely love it. I could have never afford it at full price - $550.

Lol it wouldn't surprise me a bit but to be fair it was one from their sample collection where zipper on the chest somehow had been miss colored to yellow instead of red (jacket is all red) and the fitting ins't 100, the arms should be a bit shorter and the opposite goes for the torso but functionality it's perfect, been using it for years without a problem til I got a new one last season.
