“Excellently windproof - but zipper weak”

“I bought this jacket for my husband, even after reading the reviews that criticized the zipper. I wanted to rely on the Descente brand, since I have many ski jackets from Descente and never had a problem. First, it does fit tight - especially for someone with a big chest. My husband usually easily wears and L, but this jacket is tight on him in a L - but still wearable. After one 50 mile ride, the seam above the zipper on the ipod pocket split (which I fixed by hand-sewing). After only 4 uses, however, the main front zipper has broken - 3 teeth have complete broken off. Since I live overseas, I can't really send it back, so am going to take it to the seamstress to replace the zipper, but will loose the reflective edging. It's otherwise an excellent jacket - totally wind and waterproof, great soft material - but zipper is low quality.”
