Personally I do not see why there is so much hate on first drop. The stuff that they make actually keeps you warm unlike saga. Also it doesn't fray on the zippers at all. I have owned three first drop jackets and I have not had a problem. Last years first drop held up better than last years saga by far. Also with saga you are paying 280 for a shell and with first drop you are paying 280 for a full on jacket. Also the zip off sleeves are perfect for warm weather skiing. Overall I feel that there is to much hate on first drop.

sparknotes: Fd is warm and doesn't fray like saga, also is a vest which is money efficient.
