Because gore tex makes zippers now. Get your head out of your ass, Pringle.

Products with gore-tex have higher quality, waterproof zippers that actually open and close smoothly. Quit being such a bitch.
 
I was having a tiny issue zipping my saga jacket but I think It was just that I was doing it with mittens

This isn't how you get free gear.

Put this in gear talk next time, lil guy.

If my jokes offend you:

1. I'm sorry

2. It won't happen again

3. 1 and 2 are lies

4. You're a pussy

You don't make jokes, you're just an asshole.

That's because Goretex only allows certain brands to use their membrane to ensure a high quality product. If goretex allowed anyone to use their membrane you would see jackets that are shit and jackets that are amazing. Just like Hyvent from TNF have a 600 dollar jacket and a 200 dollar jacket that is a piece of shit.
 
I wore my Saga snow pants for about 3 months before there was a hole in the crotch so big I could fit a basketball through it if i wanted to. Had a friend sew it back up and that lasted longer than the actually factory sew. Also got a jacket that year that had a rip on the left side almost instantly, didn't do warranty on either because I didn't have any other outerwear to wear when skiing and I'm not about to give up skiing for 3 weeks to get a new jacket that I'm not gonna wear next season. Don't think I'm gonna buy Saga anymore, haven't had that good of an experience. They look cool but they're really not that good of quality.

3/10- wouldn't buy again

did you contact saga? I had a zipper break on my anomie two seasons ago and i sent them a picture of it. Less than 24 hours later I had a tracking number for a new one. never had to return the old jacket. I also just retired a pair of their pants with about 400 days on them.

New 3L jacket is hard to zip up sometimes, but the material is great. would like to see metal zippers

Yep, Contacted them earlier this year and they said that the best they could do was 60% off but with the Canadian dollar so weak it was really only 30% off and i still had to pay for shipping. So I decided against it because the other 2 had ripped so easily.

yeah i just got a jacket and snowpants for $185 the other day in the virtika sale, pants alone are $200 originally. and they make good quality stuff
 
I havnt had a problem with my fatigue 2l its a couple seasons old still in great condition

That being said I'll definitely be picking up a virtika jacket soon prices are cheaper the waterproofing is better and I'm not feeling sagas new style

If I'm not mistaken , you have to pay Gore to use their Gore-Tex membrane. They have some criteria that you have to meet. Gore test the jacket before approving them, so that's why the Gore-Tex jacket are normally better.

As for TNF, you can see that they are moving away from gore-tex, they skip summit series and relaunched it this year whit Dryvent 3L, which is way to stiff for my liking.

All S/S was gore-tex before, for the most part, and it was really good.

But using gore-tex cut into profit , and that's why the use mostly Hyvent, Hyvent 2.5, Hyvent alpha (which is a membrane) and now dryvent.

I'm a big fan of Arc'teryx, because they use gore-tex for everything, And I like gore-tex because I know what I gonna have and how good it is, Sure Dryvent 3l, Derminaz and all the other membrane are good, but Gore for me put a membrane that equal quality, and I'm not buying anything else now.

yeah, a gore tex jacket you're usually paying a mark up for. Still worth it thouh

And if you find dryvent alpha to be too stiff that may just be the denier of the fabric. I don't work at TNF anymore so I haven't done any research and forgotten a fair bit of shit but that's my guess

Not the apha, sorry if I said that, I'm talking about the new L5 summit series, which is dryvent 3L, my alpha sv is is not as stiff as that and the sv is 80 denier

Dryvent 3L is hyvent alpha. They've just changed the name of it. It's the exact same microporous laminate.

And yeah the L5 is a 70 denier fabric which is what is also used in Gore tex pro and is the most durable fabric that is used in climbing and skiing jackets. So it's not the membrane. I know with my the plastmatic jacket which is a dryvent 3L and a 40 denier and it's super loose and feels really fragile.

saga needs to work on the stitching. I have had the stitching ripped in spots on both my pants and jackets.

Well they just announced a new partnership with some rapper from FL. I'm not sure what the point of it is or how it will help them fix their line.

You get what you pay for. I'm not saying Saga is shit. They are exactly what they should be for the price.

Arc'teryx Alpha SV Goretex ProShell. $700 jacket has lasted 7 years and is still waterproof as fuck. And I'm just starting to see my first stitching come loose and it's only on the draw string at the bottom.

I've had a Burton 3L that is a Goretex Proshell too but it's not as breathable or quite as waterproof. 3 years and the build is still solid pretty much.
