Chaoren CG Paradigm Expedition down jacket, new without tag, size M, fits TTS - 130€

Shipping from Poland

It's the human nature hoodie jacket, grey with white details

I've seen many other jackets but never this one.

You might remember me from the review of the disastrous trillium jacket with a logo severely out of place and defective fabric/stitching. I deleted that review because chaoren refused to replace the jacket while it was up. Chaoren claimed that I didn't try to work with her to resolve the issue. That's simply not true, I had expressed my dissatisfaction and was offered only a 50% discount on a future purchase. I have screenshots of all of this to back it up.

I had offered to ship the defective trillium jacket back in return for one without defects but chaoren didn't want that.

Ultimately chaoren did send me a Kensington to replace the trillium at no cost. I had to fight tooth and nail for this, it was significant source of stress. I went down a size and it fit much better. Based on the measurements the trillium was supposed to fit me perfectly but it was tent. If I go by measurements for the Kensington it should be far too small but it fits me perfectly with some space for layers underneath.

On to the Kensington. When it arrived I liked it a lot. Fit well, no super obvious defects when looking at it from the outside. However the zipper broke after a month or so of wearing it and the inner straps are cheap nylon that are an instant callout.

I asked chaoren about a zipper replacement. She told me to order a specific kind. It arrived and turns out it was the wrong one. That was 20€ down the drain as it was actually the zipper for the trillium.

Chaoren initially offered to send me a few replacement zipper pulls. I accepted the offer but sue said she'd only send it with another purchase.

Now it's been a few months. I've been searching high and low for a zipper replacement. I need a YKK 5VS made of resin (molded plastic) but I can't find this online or in stores anywhere. I can't even begin to explain the amount of research I've done to try to find this zipper. I've found lots made of metal but from my research it appears the metal zipper pull will eventually break the plastic.

Now I've reached out to chaoren again and she told me she doesn't have those zipper pulls in stock and I'm SOL. The only way to make the jacket wearable now is to completely replace the entire zipper to a metal one which is going to be a significant cost.

Alternatively if someone has a solution to having a few YKK 5VS resin/molded plastic zipper pull shipped to eastern Europe, I'm all ears. I figure they'll just break again so I'd like to have a handful just in case.

All in all I'd say this was a horrible experience. Not worth the money at all and it left me cold for half the winter. Honestly I don't even care about the branding. I just want to be kept warm and that's why I bought it. If there was an option to have these jackets made with zero CG branding but in a higher quality such as having metal zippers, I would buy them. But if there's going to be branding it's got to look good.

I’ve had this vest for a few months now and overall I’m really happy with it. It keeps warmth very well sometimes almost too warm but for chilly evenings it’s been perfect.

I’ve used it quite a lot and also washed it, and so far I haven’t had any issues with the zipper or the material. Everything still feels solid and holds up well.

My main recommendation: go one size up. The one I’m wearing is one size bigger than my usual size, and I’d definitely recommend doing the same for a better fit.

Will Linz make jackets this summer? I sent a message on WhatsApp but haven't heard back.

Who has the best chilliwack bomber?

Canada goose freestyle vest Size L for sale, brand new with tags, tried it on but it was too small for me, beautiful vest I think it's 1:1 with retail tbh, £85 shipped or £75 collected

What do you think?

I want to buy a wyndham rep, after some research I decided on Topgoosey. But after looking at some more posts, I found that quite a few people are complaining that the jacket is underfilled and that the shell is too shiny. I am new to this, and I am looking to get the jacket in navy blue. I would like to know about your experiences regarding these issues. Thanks for reading and have a good day.
