Its not like everyone can afford to continue to drop this kind of money every 4 years. I would be upset also. Looking at buying some of this gear but after this article, who knows?

Are you kidding me? Dogging this company because they wouldnt fix your zipper? They are 4 years old! I am sure that you were willing to pay to get them fixed after they would not fix them for free which brings me to my next point. Get a yellow pages! It has a list of everyone in your town that can fix zippers. Dont rely on Bridgett, thats not her job to tell you who can fix them in your city. Now with that being said, are they warm, before the zipper broke of course? I am thinking about getting the H6 or H7. I am going to have to agree with Dave on this. Are you kidding me?

It would start to zip but would pop open making it really difficult to get the zipper slide back to the top. The slide is metal and it had worn some so it was not meshing the two sides together firmly. I used a pair of pliers to lightly squeeze the top and bottom of the slide together. That is all it took. Works like new again. Try it. Just don't use too much pressure. I have a pair of the bibs that are probably 5 or 6 years old and the leg zipper on one side quit working right.

I think Artic Sheild should have made the repair or atleast helped, sign of the times. was Amen Rob,thats something else Dave probably doesn’t have a problem with,companies out sourcing out side our borders so they can operate cheaper supposedly to pass savingns on to us the consumers.Ifail to see where made in china ever made anything cheaper.Sorry don’t mean to seem bitter, but there was a time… I think Artic Sheild should have made the repair or atleast helped, sign of the times. was

I went to the Arctic Shield website, and it directed me to Absolute Outdoor, the new company that owns Arctic Shield camo clothing. They said they would replace his jacket zipper for $19.95 which would include return shipping back to me. What a deal! We decided to do it and the jacket is like new again. (it took about 3 weeks) Now that is what I call good customer service! My boyfriend had a broken zipper on his 2 year old H4 jacket.

And if they are really local ..... it's rather hard to say No in person! :) I sometimes wonder about warranties, for instance: you buy a New Chevy truck, powertrain is 3/36,000? Used Chevy truck you get 5/60,000? Oh, you can increase the 3/36 to 5/60 for $500???? Mmmmmm a little backwards???? Best warranty ever, and I mean the absolute best is given by Badlands. Check it out and you will see what I mean, the last pack you will EVER have to buy. Love their customer service too!
