Warm but poor zipper/seam design

By Ranked #1756 - Women's Down Jackets October 11, 2009

Re: 2007/2008(?) model

Pro - great in the warmth factor
Con - poor zipper design - keeps getting stuck, sometimes because it grabs at the seam/material that is next to the seam because it is so fluffy and interferes with the zipper. Literally has taken me sometime up to 5-10 mins to zip the coat.

Hopefully this year's model has fixed the zipper issue. Tired of fighting with the zipper the last couple of winters so took it back to my local NF store to send to the manufacturer to see how this can be resolved. Let you know the response from NF!
