Well, let me tell you a little story. I like to wear my jackets until they no longer keep me warm.
I spend at least 100 bucks on my jackets. I want a waterproof, windproof, warm jacket. The only thing that gets me every time is the zipper.
I have 2 jackets I LOVE. I haven’t worn one of them in 3 years because the zipper wouldn’t work. Now it’s are going to be worn again, all because I found this article.
Check out these couple of videos, and this Lifehacker article for more info.
