A classic nowadays, the saga anomie is my favourite pant of all time, I'll get into why with the review.
Performance
These pants are the shit. They may not be as waterproof as gore tex, but they're 20k/20k which is good enough for those of us riding resorts and doing urban. The pants are heavy, and you sort of just feel invincible in them as they've got a nice weight to them. The pants are actually pretty warm, and on the coldest days I just threw on a pair of long underwear underneath and I was fine the entire day. They're quite breathable as well and the ventilation works nicely when you need it.
Design
I got the reaper's so they're all black. The zippers are placed well, and I'm happy with where everything is and how it works. (although the pocket on the knees is a little weird, I usually only put cash in there as I don't like the idea of having hard stuff near my knee when I could potentially fall)
Fit
The pants fit baggy, but not overly so. I fit a Large perfectly, and an XL if I wanna go super baggy (I'm 5'11 and have a size 32-33 waist).
Durability
Really, really good and this is where the pants definitely shine. They're the most durable pants I've ever owned, and I've never managed to rip them, and I've fallen across concrete and came out only with a tiny bit of a scrape on the pants. This is the main reason I love them so much. However, the cuffs are like any other pant and will start to fray after a while.
Overall
These are my favourite pants and i would recommend them to anyone (unless weight matters and/or you're going into the backcountry or something. ) Buy up, you won't regret it. (saga also goes on sale relatively often so you'll probably be able to get a steal on these at some point in the season).
These pants are great. So great I had to buy 2 pairs (2 different colorways of course). They are durable and can slide across a rail on a fall and not have a single tear/rip. They have tons of vents to cool you down if you get too warm, and are pretty airtight for the cold days when you need to throw on extra layers just to stay warm enough to enjoy the 2 foot deep powder (the only reason you want to stay because the temperature is -10).
Ratings:12/13 khaki anomie pants size L
I'm 5'10" 175, 34 32 pant size, and these fit me very well. With the vents closed, they are a very regular fit. With one vent open, mildly baggy fit, and both vents, baggy fit.
I like these pants. They fit well, the fleece knees and seat are a nice added touch.
20k/20k is definitely true. However, my DWR started wearing after around 25-30 days of use. The fabric on the outside was getting a little bit water logged. I've applied a new DWR coat and the problem is gone, but something to think about.
