In reply to TobyA:
> Yep and not all climbers are convinced by the need for two ended zips anyway. I've climbed for 30 years and can't remember ever thinking "I need a double zip on this jacket", but I have had jackets with double zips that wouldn't stay bloody well done up at the bottom end. I think Steve is over egging his pudding a bit - at least to my taste!
Well, I’ll trump your experience by 26 years, 🤭 I’ve rarely had zips fail in that time, and not a two way one…. I find them really useful if the jacket is going on over my harness. But I take the point that if the jacket is pitched at wealthy hill walkers then it’s irrelevant. 😏
