- Hmm, I haven't road tested mine yet, (like laszlo) but it's held up
- very well. The only (minor) problem I had was a busted zipper pull tab.
- I called Intersport Fashions in CA. (HG's distributer) and they sent me
- a couple pull tabs free of charge. Later I called em to see about ordering
- a zipper to connect my jacket to my pants. Both times they were quite
- freindly and helpful. Have you talked with the distributer yet ?? I'd
- give em a call and tell em you'd like a replacement as you seem to have
- gotten a lemon. Everyone I know who has an HG has had nothing but praise for
- them, with mine being the worst failure yet :-) Good Luck...
