i think he said "affordable"
most burton stuff is probably cheaper than saga or helly hansen...
i'd go for orage but thats probably also not that low in price...

really??? Every piece of Burton 3L I looked at this year was $350 or higher, the disgusting 3 color pullover-shell everyone had this year retailed at like $400 or higher. Saga is selling a full suit for $400 right now. Thats a 20/20 coat AND pants, that actually have zippers on them instead of being modeled after a poncho. Ive never like LDC but their stuff looks to be getting better each year, as well as most other brands trying to keep up with the super-tech-outer-shell trend that the most the industry is hopping on.

i hate to say it, but saga does in fact make sense, just a shame every other kid on ns wants it.

...and fuck burton. all the ski bashing back in the day annoyed me, and the fucking their dealers royally (which they are, btw). regardless of their prices or how good their stuff might be (its not that great) thats one company i'll never support.

saga isnt 3 layer and ive heard its not completely waterproof

burton has had really waterproof stuff for a long time so there last years stuff is really cheap

burton 3L outerwear:



vs armada or oakley, which is twice the price:



this is the only good coat but its sold out in my size:
