And now this one will too. You're not allowed to post with aliases while you are banned. It says in the rules that they will ban aliases and extendthe ban on your primary account. Sucks for you

true, but they may just leave him on there on purpose to act like they have good team members. They need all the help they can get. Saga is about to have a monopoly on the freestyle outerwear biz. They can get almost anyone besides the top 5 park/pipe skiers.

And to everyone in here, who posted some dumb shit like "ooo inb4 shit storm, popcorn ready, etc etc"

You do realize you are bringing in the hate. If you have never done business with FD or owned a product then just dont say anything. I know for a fact that a lot of ppl love their goods and some ppl dont. Just because you had a buddy whos suit fell apart doesnt mean there wasnt 100 still going hard. I mean I had my fair share of shit falling apart (jiberish/saga/oakley) from top brand that people still love.

I loved my SAGA products that I own, but I do not seeing myself buying from them again because of their shitty ass cutomer service. So should post more hate in every single saga thread there is like all of you do on FD. What about jiberish?

Its easy to sit here and hate on FD because its the cool thing to do, but at the end of the day they are making bank and not really giving a fuck what half of you are saying. SAGA calls a kid out and all of you love it, FD does it and all you shit on them. Simple fact is neither should have done it. FD has in my mind (IMO) is start to act like a legit company. They offer exactly what people what in my options. They gave you NS the choice to change/custom your suit and sleeves, bc all of you wanted it. They have a shit ton of products in every size.

Got side tracked lost train of thought so /rant

IMO im still not a FD fan, but I also have direct experience with them.

IMO the two best outerwear companies in my mind is LDC/BLOOM. With my experience they had the best customer service. Support companies that support you and are just stoked. Customer service should play a huge role in what ever you are buying, bc you are supporting them by giving them your hard earned money.

then talk all the shit you want

But if your just bitching because your suit or w.e fell apart due to a defect BUT YOU DINDT E-MAIL THEM TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, then thats your own fault.

That is the biggest problem with this company.
There is a complete lack of communication post sale, perhaps one of the worst qualities a small business could have. They sell a cheap product and don't stand behind it.

I agree

but they seem like they stand behind it. But i havent done business with them since the OG suit. which even they said sucked.

They realized it sucked (like domino's pizza) and decided to change, IDK if they changed or up the products but it wored for Domino's.

If you are selling anything you need to stand behind it and return e-mails in a quick response (IMO e-mails should be returned with in a few days, not weeks)

This.

A lot of you guys are just joining the hate fd bandwagon. It seems to be a popular trend these days. their first years stuff sucked aids it was probably the most aweful garbage I ever owned but I gave them another chance for some weird reason and their stuff way better quality.

I've had my last years fd suit for all of last winter and hit a summer set up with it all summer and it's still in good shape besides a few rail burns and stuff I'd get on any pair of pants.

fd is not a company like salomon who consistently makes pure shit because they know people are going to buy it anyways (I've had bad experiences with salomon). first drop actually worked to get their stuff better.

I respectably disagrre with this statement, I would say there are alot of other outwear companies, with bigger budgets that can pick up better skiers than Saga, sorry if that doesnt make alot of sense i had a hard time trying to word that

I don't really understand all the hate on FD. I personally don't really like their designs, so that's why I don't buy from them. If you don't like their products, don't buy them. Simple as that.

As TheClap already said, it's one thing to complain about the quality of a product if you've experienced problems with it, but if it hasn't been a problem for you then why complain?

people who dont understand why first drop gets hated on have been on the site for 1 month, or dont actually look at any threads. they might make decent outerwear now, but do some research, and its not even just the products they make.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've had lots of experience dealing with FD and they've been nothing but excellent when it came to customer service.

Sure, I bought a jacket from them, wasn't too happy with it for a few personal reasons, didn't fit exactly the way I wanted, too warm for where I ski, etc. I've also purchased two hoodies that I've loved and worn every chance I've gotten.

Point is, just because they don't have the best product for you doesn't mean you need to bitch about them and attempt to take business from them. I've done business with David himself and he's a very professional guy when it comes to his career. Guess what, people who are on task in the work place are allowed to have fun with their friends and do stupid shit.

I decided to take a chance on them and buy one of their new hoodies because i liked the way it looked. When I got it today the zipper would zip up but then split back apart. I havn't emailed them yet but after i get the problem worked out I will post up how the customer service actually is. As of right now I am not that worried about it because their warranty looks really solid.

hmm dont really know what you are talking about... Saga is one company I will always support because of their customer service and the people behind the brand. a core company dedicated to the sport and making the product I want.

out of the five or six times I have emailed saga, every time is has taken at least two weeks (usually more) for them to respond. I returned a shirt and it took them well over a month to give me my money back. I like the company, but their customer service is SLOW!

I concur with this. It's ridiculous to jump on such a hate train, especially with so many people with no experience with FD.

Yeah Ive bought a good amount of saga shit through the year because I liked the way they did it, but I think their customer service is absolute trash to be honest I think they are getting to the point where instead of buying a company truck and putting saga stickers on it, they should consider hiring people during prime season time to take care of emails and calls. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

And people need to fuck off on trashing FD, I don't own anything of theirs or know anyone in the company but I think they deserve some credit. FD has never done anything malicious to you so why the fuck are you guys all instigating petty internet shit against a company/people that are trying to actually do something within the industry?
