User Review: REI Switchback Parka

REI Switchback Parka
Above: The current Switchback Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Reviewed November 2, 2006 by Bob Sprengel

Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars

I had great expectations but the parka lasted less than a month in use. The main zipper pull popped while attempting to cinch it up to my chin. The metal is very flimsy. You'd think that zippers would be a serious concern in design. REI needs to rethink this flaw and provide hardier zipper pulls.
