why would a shitstorm start to brew, you are supposed to ask question like this in gear talk. no need to start any trouble.

The quality is meh. I have both a Saga and FD jacket and the quality of the Saga is much better. The FD is a bit warmer though because Saga is just a shell and FD actually has some insulation. I've heard the Moment jackets are pretty sick too

its become a benchmark for small indie freeski outerwear brands, but sagas quality is better, i had a fd jacket and pants last year and the entire lining on the inside of the pants ripped in half and all the insulation spilled out, so far my saga pants are super amazing
