First of all I like the jacket. It is very high quality and it breathes so well even in the Southern high heat and humidity. The zippers seem strong enough but they are not easy to use and get stuck. the main jacket zipper sticks unless you grab the zipper base as you are zipping up the jacket. This is somewhat challenging at times especially if my gloves are on. The veil zippers are kind of confusing and get crossed over and again are frustrating to deal with as I am just trying to get dressed.I like the jacket and will buy again zippers are just not something I want to have to fool with. I also wish the vest pocket designed to hold pens was deep enough for paint pens to clip in as I keep losing mine.
