Orage began in 1989 when Evelyn Tempe, a business student and total badass in Quebec began making waterproof ski jackets. The goal was not to dominate, but rather design outerwear for her friends on the university ski team. Thus creating one of skiing’s OG freeride brands. Over 30 years later, Orage is still here pumping out primo outerwear. The 20K/20K three-layer Orage Alpina jacket is stocked with details, right down to cheeky spiraled zipper pulls that give an aesthetic edge but function like a dream. The hood’s brim is moldable and fits over your helmet with ease and the top of the sleeve is significantly longer to fit over the top of your mitts. The Aplina Jacket’s perfect match is the Orage Cliff 3L bib. This bib is made from breathable 20K/20K DERMIZAX fabric and its cut is unique, sitting lower at the ribcage for standalone comfort on warmer spring days. The straps are easily adjusted and fit well while wearing a pack, too. But… you wanna know the best part? Very easy #1 access.
