Most durable outwear?

I recently purchased a ripzone jacket that was 200 dollars marked down to 100. However, I have no knowledge of this brand or any other brands.


What is a good outwear for the price, that is durable for multiple seasons?

Saga always holds up well. I'm on my second jacket and second pair of pants. Nothing wrong with the old ones they still hold up quite nicely I just wanted some fresh gear.

Orage. My Baltimor pants will be seeing their third season and are still flawless. Absolutely bombproof.

Patagonia or Trew. Lifetime factory warranty. Haven't bought outerwear is 5 years now...

That being said I'm buying Saga this year. Trying to keep up with the whippersnappers

Trew, if you don't wear trew, you're gay. That's the moto. No, but really trew makes quality gear with an awesome fit!

I agree with Patagonia. Currently repping my dad's old touring pant from the 80's. Season 20 or so and still holding up. Also look at dna, their lineup is bombproof. At least the stuff from a couple years back is.

Haha, of course, forgot the main point! Ya, I had a pair of ripzone pants for a couple seasons, ripped the bottoms to shreds, but the rest held up pretty well. All a matter of care for the spots that rub, and you should be golden

It's ok for a $100 jacket.

You get what you pay for.

Trews gear holds together way better then saga. there is no doubt in my mind that i would rather spend the extra $$ for a way better pair of pants.

my saga never let me down and i will hit the 300 days this year on my pants. probably 200 on the jacket. just some small rips from the edges, that's it. the bottom is still like new. mine is from the 09/10 line.
also my oakley 3.5 antifreeze puffies still look like new and they are 2005 or so..
