this, I could hire somebody to personally swim from america with it and still get it cheaper, your prices for shipping are ridiculous and I reckon probably loses you a lot of sales.

I bought one of this years tees and I've worn it a few times and it has multiples rips in the fabric around the seams.

well anyway I think the above post proves my point, I even asked if they could ship it using a different method but they were really stubborn about it claiming that because of the "quality" of the material they had to ship it with some expensive method, for that bullshit reason alone I sort of went off them, and I'm glad I did, heard nothing but bad news from anyone whos bought from them, which is unfortunate.

everyone hates on fd but to be honest this is a good sale. for 110 bucks, (+ shipping) thats a pretty cheap jacket. and no, they might not be the most quality out there, but hey, there are skiers out there that don't have money for a 350 dollar oakley jacket. i'm sure some kids out there want to a nice looking jackets, after all some of the colors look pretty sick, at a decent price, and don't need anything more. so just stop the unnecessary hate. if you want to make a thread about how your jacket ripped or whatever, make your own.

and on a side note, in my experiences, first drop has incredible customer service. my friend bought a coat a few days before they went to 50% off. he called them up (try it sometime, they don't bite) and told them he just bought a jacket before the sale and they were cool enough to hook him up with a store credit for the difference. say what you will about fd, but i will support them.

Your arguement is invalid

Why spend $110 on a coat that's going to get damaged straight away? Your just going to end up spending more money buying another coat because the shitty fd one ripped

Also explain to me how I go about phoning them up when I live in the UK?
I'd ask for my money back but I cannot be bothered to waste more time going through a refund process with these guys.
I'm sure theyre nice guys but they seriously need to sort shit out with their company.

I wasn't sure about buying from them but they made all of these promises saying the quality was better and it would get ripped and damaged.
Now I'm sat here with a ripped fd tee that I payed full price for and a crazy $20 shipping fee and I've barely worn it.

i do understand your predicament. shipping is one of the real problems with the company. maybe try emailing them? and i still say my argument is valid. you said yourself that you weren't sure about buying from them, i think in this case you need to take responsibility and try and at least see if you can get any sort of warranty. if that fails, find someone who can sew and patch that up. no one is forcing anyone to buy from them, if you don't like them, just don't buy.

i'm not saying that first drop has the greatest quality. i myself bought a sweatshirt from them but it had some weird seam sewing on one arm. but i sucked it up because i bought it on sale for 30 bucks. its still pretty sick in my opinion. but everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and if you think their quality isn't worth paying for, thats fine with me.

The quality of our new Virtika Outerwear is as good quality as anything out there. Our new factory kills it. We haven't had a single warranty so far this year.

Probably because everyone knows your warranty is also shit. I know 3 kids with FD pants this year and they're all ripped to shreds

are you fucking kidding me? I am willing to bet that you have never owned, worn, or been in contact with anything related to First Drop before. They have great customer service in my experiences as well as my friends' experiences with them. I have met the guys personally and they're chill and are serious about customer satisfaction.

I have the stuff from this year and I have not had a single issue with any of it. Jackets, pants, and hoodies are all nice quality. I also have a pair of their OG pants that my roommate gave to me. They're still in great condition minus the cuts from skis and rails on them, but they're old and somewhat abused. I also have the OG red and navy suit that LJ wore and I love it and its held up great.

I really do not understand why people on NS just hop up on the FD hate bandwagon, especially when they have no experience with First Drop products. You're getting a steal at 60%.

I'm not saying it's indestructible by any means. I don't know if you're stuff was just one of the bad ones, because not all the stuff each company produces/sells is flawless. But it could be from sagging them like a thug and skating in them, I don't know just throwin it out there. But I'm sure Saga, among other companies, has issues where they have faulty products and that's why companies have a warranty policy.

I'm just irritated to see people, that have no experience with a companies product, hate on it to such an extreme. Surface is another great example. But I'm done ranting, and going to bed haha.

Great fucking story. I don't give a shit what Dix said about Surface park skis. I'm just adding my .02 on each company. Surface's are fine for park, I've see just as many other skis get busted up as No times, double times, new lifes etc.

I lost so hard. Shut the fuck up kid, my friend has gone through his No Times and Double Times in one month. He hates these skis so much that he wants Afterbangs. So you need to chill the fuck out, and remove this thread from your history. Oh and cool thoughts on the company to, too bad I couldn't give my last fuck.

probably clicked them into his bindings. But for real, all outerwear companies have their quality issues. I've heard horror stories from saga too. Zippers just straight up ripping out, seems tearing, all similar stuff to what you hear from FD. But everyone here "knows a guy who knows a guy who's FD jacket spontaneously combusted while riding. That being said...Sagas shit looks waaaaayyyyyy better.
