my saga hybrid pants are balling like wool and one of the taped zippers has fallen off. my ecto coat is balling and the tightener snapped. alsoone of the zipper pockets is ripped and the zipper is coming out. ive only worn it about six times and have been super carefull with it. both of the zippers happend within two weeks of having it and it happened from opening it. tell me if your saga is doing any of this becuase im mad. it sucks. and i know its not just me cause my friends saga is balling and doing the same

ya i would definitely say saga is not durable at all.  I love mine but i agree.  The zippers are fucked and start falling apart hella fast.   Ive got tons of little hole and cuts around the legs but that will happen with most outerwear.   The zippers are dope but they arent sewn into the jacket and pants good at all.   I wish they would make there shit 100 dollars more and way more durable.  My gear will probably be done be the end of this year and i will have to buy new shit.  FUCK

Not just you. My hybrid pants have also started balling in the front.
Also the material is paper thin. I fell on a rail a week or so ago and there is a 2 inch rip on the back. Everything else about the pant has been great, but this durability problem really needs to be worked on. And like someone above me, I am too most likely going to replace them next year :(

ive worn my pants from last year at least 120 days and i have one .5in tear by the cuffs from an edge. the rest of the pants are perfect. wtf are you kids doing to your outerwear, its not 400$ arcterx, take it easy.

so far everything has been top notch except the durability on the fabric.  Seriously saga, you guys got a perfect fit, features, pockets, colors, designs, etc.  but the durability on your fabric hasn't worked out for me compared to other brands ive owned..  My jacket sleeves and cuffs are balling pretty bad and my pants cut like rice paper.

I love my saga to death and im extremely careful with my ski gear but still its been wearing down at a fast rate.

I havent experienced the zipper problem yet though.

skiing hard shouldnt affect your jacket and pants, falling on boxes all day would do it though, rails not so much

Well i have yet to fall on to a rail or a box in my gear.  I have only eat shit on jumps.  Skiing hard can result in more tears in the pant legs but i agree,  it should not effect the zippers coming out.

i love my saga pants so much and i agree about the fit being perfect. however the material is kind of thin and i am starting to get several holes, cuts, rail stains and what not but what do you expect? gear takes a beating doing what we do..

we are starting to keep track of this stuff. we have yet to damage the saga under normal conditions so far. actually we havent damaged any of these yet. saga has thin but light and smooth fitting material. ldc seems bulkier but with that you will get more durability.
