Boots were the biggest disappointment. I bought cheapo raven waterproof and whilst great as a back to biking boot. the zip fobs snapped within about 5 weeks. replaced by a bit of welding rod. Then the zips themselves failed after about 14 month.

Biggest issue with online was the strange euro sizing. I work in feet & inches. my neck is the biggest part in that I would take an 18" collar but only a 44 chest so even jackets can be funny.

So I guess it is J&S as first port of call in future
Nods

Really though, its not the online experience that is letting you down, just the poor quality products that you are buying But then you are from Yorkshire (only jesting tim me old mucker)
