I have an Eira jacket from the 2013 season and will be buying one within the next year, I've looked at the brands I usually go for (Armada, Eira, North Face) and haven't really seen anything I like this season, basically just looking for some suggestions. Price isn't a big deal but probably under 600$, anything helps, thanks.

I got the Virtika V4 jacket and I love it. So many pockets, and air vents. It has zip off sleeves for hot days and on for the cold days I never have had to put on anything more then a t-shirt underneath. and there only 114$ now.

Bloom isn't gonna be the best, but they still have very good things for a very good price. I'd check them out. Like I said, not as good as other brands like TNF and patagomia but still very awesome. I love my bloom.

Your name, icon, and contributions make you sound like that. Haha but for real, Saga has sick stuff, but compared to other companies such as TNF and Patagonia, it isn't as good performance and durability wise. And where OP doesn't really have a price limit, he should get himself something nice, like Patagonia, TNF, Spyder, etc

Haha maybe ill drop some K your way too haha. Saga is pretty good for their price and have sick designs so they're not bad, like I said before just not as good as a $600 Patagonia. But that makes sense tho since Saga stuff usually isn't one $250. I will say that one place that Saga wins is in its relationship with the community. Saga is commenting on Ns, hosting sick events, giving out deals, and just really being a part of the community. Companies like Patagonia are big so its hard to do that, but I love these smaller more involved brands.

check out the LDC eagle something something jacket (forget name), Pattagucci as already stated, Trew, Sabek might be something you could look at NWT3k, Flylow.

I have some old Descente jacket that I got at a ski swap. thing is probably 10+ years old and is still waterproof, water still beads on it, and its warm as shit. higher quality than any jacket I have ever owned and I got it for $5... check it http://www.descente.com/mens/mens/mens-jacket?target=category_filter&category_id=75&extra_cats= but it is more of a higher priced luxury brand.
