Durability hype

I bought the parka for it's apparent durability and loved its warmth and weigh but unfortunately after minimal casual use (very mild winter), the durability failed. No idea why with the use it's seen. Backpack maybe? I can't accept that's possible with the LCP material and all the hype they were marketing. After enquiring about warranty with the service desk, they promptly washed their hands of any defect responsibility or service in general. Better brands offer repairs but they offered a third party link for DIY. Far too expensive for the quality and service.

Great jacket - but not a good zipper
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:
- Runs large
- Size Bought
- Medium
- Height

Initial thoughts; I used the jacket for the past 3 days while ski touring at Roger's pass. It was fairly cold, 5F in the parking lot, so - 5F in the alpine plus 10-15mph winds. This was my first time ever needing to wear a down jacket while skinning it was so cold. The jacket kept me toasty warm while stationary for 10 minute transitions at - 5F (plus 15mph wind), I didn't sit around any longer than that - time to start skiing! I wore it over 2x merino base layers and a Dynafit mercury jacket, and it fit perfectly. I'm 6'0 and 175, the medium fits me, but is a little loose around the waist, but fits well around the hips, arm length is solid. If you wear it over a t-shirt, it's gonna be baggy, but when layering it works super well. Cons: The zippers could be a little frustrating, especially with mittens on, not the end of the world, but I wish it was better. The down is not as thick as I thought it would be (I was expecting FF helios thickness, however it's still very warm). The colors available are not the most interesting or vibrant either. The new fabric appears to be pretty durable - while skinning through evergreens the jacket fended them off quite well. Overall, I'm quite happy with it and I would buy again. I'll update this review sporadically, especially if anything weird or annoying happens.

To what extent is this jacket wind-resistant? Does this have any wind-resistant properties?
