Something that has always niggled at me with my big winter parka is the fact that to enable easy access to the Goretex the liner has a big overlapped gap in the shoulder area.
So today I finally opened the doubled sided adhesive tape I purchased from Simon at Tier Gear and tried to add some Velcro.
I need to do some more repairs to this parka a couple of the liner seams have opened up and the elastic in the hood has ripped out of the stitched edge.
I'm hard on my pants and parks and one of the reasons I've seen no particular advantage in using lightweight outer garments
Those ripped seams and stitching were probably caused by one of my many tumbles while skiing
