they have gotta be the most durable jacket ive ever owned. There are very nice, sick designs and the colors are amazing. Not only will you be looking fresh on the hill you will know that your jackets not gonna let you down, considering the sickest waterproofing and all

Love my On Deck, but the two chest pockets are not zippered and therefore not very useful because the way they close could lead to alot of items being lost. And my rightside pocket the seam ripped open after one fall. But overall I really like the jacket and how it looks and the problems I've had are minor and don't affect the main function of the jacket, so I'm pretty happy. And the On Deck is the 2nd tier jacket so maybe the Anomie would have all the quality I was looking for. But you also have to think about price in relation to what you get and it puts it all in perspective. Would definitely buy again if this one lasts without anymore issues. Hope that helps!

theyre great, very durable and will definately keep you dry which is the number one thing you want your jacket to do for you and the fact that saga jackets run a little bigger than other other companies make them great for layering underneath to keep you warmer on those super cold days.

Alot of stiching came apart,,, I have lil treads coming out everywhere, from the bottom around the clinch string, to around the Velcro part, up around the arms and the hoodie... I don't even wanna look for more, cuz I'm sure I'll fide more!! And this is a 2012 jacket !!! Not to cool. I even got a 2nd jacket from them, just to keep one fresh.. But I'm really not happy about the stiching :( asides from that the jackets warm and light, and looks like the same fabric as my Helly Henson (loved that jacke) sorry Saga.

they hold up well. I do have a few cig burns in mine and a small tear that's probably from hitting a branch or rock or whatever but the only real complain I have is that the water proofing wore out after like 40 days of wearing it. I guess I don't know how long to expect out of waterproofing but I expected it to last all season. also, at least for me, it attracts dirt. the bottom front half of my lobster jacket is mad dirty as is the shoulder, cuffs, and the bottom where it cinches.

but yeah I like it. buy it if you like how it looks, it's quality shiat.

Is the Anomie Jacket strictly a back country jacket or can it work well in the park?

You can wear it wherever you want really. While it is their top-tier jacket and can withstand more of the backcountry elements there's no reason why you can't shred the park with it, etc. Just open up the vents on hot days, cut down on layers. Its just a jacket after all..

I've had no problems with my saga, except for the cinch coming out on one one side of my jackets....kind of annoying but i just tied it off and used the other side. Pretty pleased overall with the quality this year.

From experience, I've found Saga jackets to be quality gear, I've had no problems whatsoever with durability or waterproofing so far (2nd year with them). And Saga has outstanding customer service. They really are trying to reach out to their customers and keep your business. My one problem with Saga though, is the amount of people on every ski hill now wearing it. If this isn't a problem for you, then you should snag a jacket. If you do mind having the same outfit as a few others on

shit, early post... Anyways, if you don't want to match others on the hill, look into Lethal Descent or another brand that is a little less played.

a. if you can't pick a decent combo that isn't common then you suck.


b. if you really factor in whether other people have the same jacket or pants as you then just start snowboarding.

They are definitely high quality jackets and improving each year. I have one of the original scuba anomie jackets that I bought in 07 and it did me well for probably 150 days on snow. Def showing signs of wear (some pockets tearing, cinch broken - snapping it in the airport while board user error, idiot, rail burns everywhere and a bit faded) But I fucking loved that jacket. Still rock it on occasion and might make it a vest but swooped up an on deck and anomie this year and they are both clearly of much higher quality. My dad ended up buying an anomie suit too. Shit is quality.
