Whenever I buy something with a zipper I check that it’s YKK first.

If it isn’t, I know there’s a good chance they’re cheaping out on other places as well.

The YKK zipper on my North Face hard shell broke. Got it replaced under warranty. Half a year later, it broke again. Anecdotes, sure, but I'm now buying cheap jackets instead.

As far as I can tell, YKK has quality tiers now where not all YKK zippers are created equal. Rather unfortunate.
