Im surprised how many people are saying North Face. The quality of their product vs. the price is pretty comical. My Saga Anomie is more waterproof than my insulated Summit series with "performance gortex" that being said my Arc'teryx shell that is "gortex pro" is about 5 times more waterproof/breathable than said Saga.

My top 5 outerwear

Arc'teryx (pretty much only based my experiences with its performance in extreme weather, not looks)
FlyLow
Saga
Armada
Siver Cartel

Outerwear:
InI Cooperative (my kinda style)
Holden (my kinda style)
Bloom (newschool look)
Billabong (sick as fuck tbh)
Orage (covers tech stuff)

Skis:
HG skis (Full camber wide skis+East coast ski *my skis*)
APO (sick skis for comps *Kai Mahler*/pow)
Line (covers every type of skiing at a pricepoint)
Blizzard (mad quality stuff for freeriding and a bit of park)
Kitten Factory (Nobody hates these guys)

Tried to put my bias into the list as well as a practical approach for a wider demographic.
