i dont know if you guys have this problem but the lining on the inside of my armada vest and anoime pants covers over the zipper track a little to much and every time i zip or unzip it gets caught and wont move so i have to fuck with it until it finally gpoes one way or the other. not to mention my pants seem to dissinigrate the moment they touch concrete. i am definitely going virtika next time

I feel your pain. I have the exact same problems with my Anomie pants. They are just a huge pain in the ass.

Gaping holes in the cuff of each leg that get tangled in my brakes, and my phone actually got stuck in my pocket because the zipper would not budge. Have to tuck the pant legs in whenever you leave the snow or they are toast. I'm going Bloom or Virtika next season.

Definitely never clip them into my bindings. Stepped on them once in the parking lot and they tore apart like paper. No fixing them now. They get tangled in my brakes no matter what.

I've had this same problem with my saga backpack, the material that covers the zipper Is way too long and constantly gets stuck in the zipper unless I hold it out of the way. it's a pain in the ass to open and close.

its likely the different material thats used in the pants but i've had a positive experience with my Monarch 3L pants, i had a fall on a box where i landed on the box with the ski between me and the box which broke the skin but there was literally no sign of any contact on the pants. I've had minimal rips around the hems due to edges and had no other problems. the quality of the fabric is far better than any other pants i've had before. i shredded my salomon magic pants to bits and other pants before them.

Any and all pants will get ruined if you walk on them. Use the button on the inner leg of the pants...it takes 4 seconds...

Wear pants that fucking fit or learn to take 4 seconds to roll the cuffs up.

Common sense for some, rocket science for others.

One of the pockets on my Fatigue jacket catches too. The stitch holds the thin nylon inside against the zipper and it gets caught. I think they would need to make the stitch farther away from the zipper. Or fold it over then stitch it going away from the zipper.

Saga.Noted. This is solid feedback.


my main problem is the zippers not the pant legs. im pretty good about rolling up my pants but they do fall down every once in a while. They didnt hold up as well as expecting but i also understand that grinding the bottoms between your boot and concrete will ruin any ski pants. but yes i do feel the zippers could use some improvement on the jackets and vests. mainly the inside ling cause its hard to manipulate it while its on the inside.
