Hey guys,

I just started looking for a new ski jacket. My three favorite brands are pretty much Oakley, Orage and Armada.

I was wondering what you guys thought was best and maybe you would like to share some past experiences with the products.

Thanks

I have an Orage jacket from a few years ago. The one with green and yellow on it, kinda square pattern, anyway...I love that jacket. Big, nice and warm, looks good without having a cluttered look. Havent worn any Oakley or Armada coats. Had hoodies by them and both were solid so I imagine their jackets are good as well. The Orage Bertoni this year is dope.

I have an Oakley jacket and Armada snowpants, both are quality for sure. Heard lots of good about Orage too. Really, I don't think you have to worry much quality wise throughout the brands, just get whatever one suits the climate of your area and the look that you want.

I can only recommend Armada outerwear. Good quality and a nice fit. Plus this year, they've made the biggest line so far, so theres plenty to choose from whether you like a long or a more progressive/technical fit.
I am sure people are more than happy with the other brands, so find whatever jacket you like the most within your pricerange and buy it. All three brands make quality gear.

Well, it depends on which jacket it is from the brand as well. I have had Oakley jackets in every single price category, from the cheapest to the top of the line jackets. Loved every single of them, never had any problem. Pants are also durable.

I have only had Orage pants, no jacket. They were TRASHED! and not after that many days either. Was the Benji pants. Worst pants I have ever owned. This was 2 years ago, doesn't know if the quality is better know.

Oakley is my favorite brand of these 3.

Sry for bad english.
