Stretch-Air zip gone again

[treesnakey]

Only had my Stretch-Airs for a few months and another zip/crotch gone again.

 

Sadly this will be the last time for me purchasing these.

 

They are comfortable and lightweight, but the zip issue always seems to let them down.

 

Can any one offer a good alternative?

 

Gladiator 2s are they any good?

Find someone to put a new zip on them mate. If the trousers are good then that's got to be the best solution in my opinion

I've given up on them now I have 8 or so pairs and a few of the jackets some shirts and underwear and at some point all of them have come un stitched or the zips broke with the exception of two pairs of gladiators.

Just ordered a pair of the engelbert Strauss trousers they have had good reviews on here and look really good for the money..

It amazes me that something as simple as a zip lets these down so badly...

 

Don't think I have ever had zip issues with any other piece of zip equipped clothing!

I always have found they are tough trousers, using stihls now which seem to fall apart within a few months. (Only use the stihls cuz the company pays for them)

I don't think the link works mate.. Do a quick google then when your on there site they come straight up when you search chainsaw trousers , they are only type a but that suits me fine!

They come in quite a few different colours even the every popular power rangers theme... they look really well thought out with a few nice features and at that price I'm not complaining its about time we stopped getting mugged off for decent gear.

Alex m was going to do!! A review in them and it's all thumbs up.
