Waterproofing ratings are a complete scam.

And to all those who say Saga is amazing....I have shitake pants and I love the fit of them, but they are paper thin. I noticed the heals ripping after two days and the pants just seem fragile.

When comparing saga to legitimate outerwear companies like TNF, Patagonia, Arc'terx, even Trew, It is complete crap.

Thats a lie... i had north face pants....

My Saga are much better quality.. the material the weight... they weigh the same as shell pants but are much warmer.

went riding the other day was really wet snow everything was soaked through except my pants...

WEIGHT??!! Your honestly talking about weight of fucking snowpants man?? I dig SAGA, suits are legit and look sick. Quality is probably pretty dope as well. But really, practically five hundo for something that you wear skiing? What has happened....

not saying it makes a difference... but like its super nice to not have the feeling of bulkyness like i got from my old burton pants......

Addressing the quote, "Waterproofing ratings are a complete scam:" You sound like First Drop justifying its line. I completely beg to differ. As someone who lives in the Northwest (the inland Northwest, but the Northwest regardless), I know that waterproofing ratings are not a scam. Literally every 1k counts when it is 34F and dumping heavy wet snow (or raining). Waterproofing may not be the only thing to consider, but to say that waterproofing ratings are a scam is frankly an insult.

i got a full suit this year and the quality is really sick...only thing is that it isnt warm at all but it is a shell after all..so layer up..

all and all, the colors are awesome, it weighs like nothing and it has kept me dry 24/7

Personally, I don't need anything else than a baselayer and a tall tee under my Saga suit. In those coldest days I fit in a crewneck under all this but it rarely happens.

Yes I'm naturally warm but really, the thickness of the suit isn't the only factor that speaks for how warm it is.

hmm sorry the pants fit so steezy they get in the way.. roll em' up! It fits so big and baggy and perfect and everything is so much quality, i spilt a drink on my pants and literally watched it roll off onto the floor leaving behind not even a trace of water.. sure there a little thinner but really good for the price.

it is. they had a preseason sale tha you could buy the jacket and the pants for 420. i think my outerwear (north face jacket, sessions pant) cost somewhere around 5 hundo. definately shoulda hit up that price while it was still going :(

ha, this

every time i go into the parking lot, lodge, hiking, etc i ALWAYS roll up my pants

i have purps from last year, and i like them soooo much that i only have them down when i'm skiing, and i make sure they don't catch in my bindings.  i want them to last as long as they can, so i treat them well!

so far in 1 whole year: a small cut on the inside of the inside, haha probably about a centimeter, and one very small rust stain at the bottom where the pants are bunched up anyways.

i understand where people are coming from, but if you treat your shit well, it will last.  and i live in the pnw, i was skiing in straight rain this weekend at baker and i barely got wet.
