Have been dealing with this few a couple years now, as both pockets started to go, and now the central zippers have given out too. The fabric is willing where the metallic teeth elements are but the slider itself is not. These were very well aconstructed garments back when I hot them. I have three, two bulky heavier material sweaters, and a lighter material one. I guess I’ve had some of them for a decade or more so they don’t really owe me anything, but I’m still unhappy about it. Perhaps I’m being petty, but I would like to think that gear this pricey would stand the test of time.
For the most part they still keep me warm, and give me a semi secure spot to put my phone. If I half zip it I can atleast stop the phone from falling out, which is a plus. That’s my gripe for today. Time to eat, and get on with work. Gotta raise the funds to pay for this new grinding, vibration, noise from the front end of my wife’s vehicle. Round and round we go. Brakes, wheel bearings, rotors, calipers, tie rods… the list of fixable consumables is endless. Blargh!
