[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1445981, member: 6354"] I just returned a jacket because its zipper didn't fit the pants I already had. I'd never encountered that before. My pants are Tour Master Venture Air, and all my jackets have been either Tour Master or their "upscale" brand, Cortech, and I've never had a problem with joining jacket to pants. My recently purchased Cortech Speedway Hyperflow Air would not attach, though; its zipper had much narrower teeth. It did come with the pants counterpart for the zipper that could be sewn onto the pants, but I wasn't going to replace that pants side zipper and make the pants unusable with everything else I have. I don't know if that was a unique situation for some reason, or if there's a "going cheap" trend in jackets to make the "standard" zipper smaller than it used to be. I [I]do[/I] know there is a "going cheap" trend in jackets where the spine armor is optional now, and the thermal liner for those jackets is now a vest only, no sleeves. Both of these trends absolutely suck sweaty balls. I've kept the wind and rain liners from my ancient Cortech HRX jacket, which even though it doesn't attach to my current jackets like it would to the HRX, I can wear it inside any other jacket like an under-jacket, and have a long-sleeved quilted thermal liner instead of a vest for those evenings down in the 40s and 50s.
