Gear: Zippers Vs Loops
10/19/11 at 14:37:22

I recently got a pair of riding pants and jacket. The jacket has the loops that go on a belt,no zipper on the back. The pants I go have a zipper on the back to attach to a jacket, they also have loops the I can use with the jacket.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about and would it be worth it to sew in a zipper attachment on my jacket? I broke one of loops the on the pants with a quick tug.(very thin)

On the jacket side the snaps are easily undone and a b!tch to hook onto a belt.

Would any of this even help in the event of a slid?

If you go down,.. they'll probably rip right off anyway...
I wouldn't bother...

When I crashed my Ninja,.. the waist of my jacket ended up bunched up under my shoulder blades... no zipper or snap would have held...
I didn't get any road rash, because the bunched up jacket held my back off the pavement... but I did get a football sized bruise on my left kidney from the jacket being pushed up...

Is your jacket textile, or leather?...
Mine was heavy leather,... it held up very well...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

I knew someone was going to say something like that. Didn't know how else to describe it at the time. Air flow would have been better. Or not who knows.
