Hey, i'm looking for a decent vest for skiing this winter/spring. I have a WTB thread in the WTB section but that hasnt had a single view in 20 minutes so i thought i'd post here as more people view these threads. Ok so i'm not necessarily looking to buy a vest from someone on NS but i don't really mind to be honest. So i'm looking for something like the saga smoke and mirrors vest in size large. All the vevsts on sagas site are sold out so if anyone knows anywhere to get something like this +k for any info.

Thanks!

The Orage Nelson vest is on theClymb.com right now for 80 dollars i think? 10k/10k material and its good and sturdy with a tall fit. I bought it the last time they had it on sale and have loved the durability and warmth of it on the mountain since, especially over my shell while night skiing.

FD Jacket and take off the sleeves? That way you can have a full jacket in the winter also.

Thanks and +k to you^ but i'm just not sure where to get them. I tried the saga classic vest off evo.com but it's 75usd shipping to get it here to new zealand.
