Dang am I mad, as in angry not as in insane.

ASA "approved" pants -- $47
Alterations -- $12
Knowing that if I get the call for a National tournament I'll be properly attired with pants that have a broken slide clasp -- Priceless

Between last year and this year I bought a total of six new pants from ASA; a blue base, a blue plate, 2 gray base, and 2 gray plate. All six have had some kind of slide clasp failure. ALL SIX! On the blue plate I actually had to have a guy with a pair of pliers pry the clasp apart so I could change. "Hi, I'm your partner for this game, can you pry my pants apart so I can change?" Let me tell you that makes a first impression when you work with a guy for the first time.

These pants look good, but they are not built so well. Any of you guys have similar problems?
