Bookmark or Share- Virtika Quality/Size - Gear Talk - Newschoolers.comI have FD/Virtika outerwear from every season except for the 2nd. It's very obvious that the quality has gone up every year. My V3 stuff is still incredibly warm and in very good shape. The jacket has one cut from hip-checking a tree, otherwise not a single thing has gone wrong with it (+/- 150 days on it). My V3 pants are a bit more beat up.

- Virtika Signature Jacket and Pant Review - Newschoolers.comVirtika sent me the suit in XL and as you can see on Ash its pretty big. Its certainly some of the biggest outerwear I have worn but I think you will agree Ash rocks it pretty well. At 90cm for the Zipper length on the Jacket it is one of the larger XL's I have worn.
