POTENTIAL, BUT DID NOT LIVE UP TO IT..

WHAT HAPPENED? THIS WAS POTENTIALLY A SICK GOLITE SOFTSHELL... WHY AREN'T ALL THE SEAMS TAPED? WHAT UP WITH THE WEAK ZIPPERS? I MEAN, FROM THE TIME I FIRST PUT IT ON I COULD TELL THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE MAIN ZIPPER, AND IT FAILED AFTER ZIPPING IT ON AND OFF ABOUT 15 TIMES. FABRIC IS NICE, AND IT IS A BURLY SOFT SHELL.. THE HOOD IS SWEET. FULLY SEAM TAPE THE JACKET AND ADD A BEAFIER ZIPPER AND IT WOULD BE A WINNER... IT'S NOT A LIGHT WEIGHT SHELL SO THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER.
