No more YKK zippers

Columbia opted to save $0.003 and not use YKK zippers any longer. The zippers they use now are complete trash. Buy North Face, Patagonia, anything else. I cannot defend or support a company that opts to save a fraction of a penny at the expense of quality.edit: I've read many complaints in regards to Columbia fleeces which were/are manufactured in China. I own 3 Columbia fleeces: 2 have the traditional black & white tag, use YKK zippers and were manufactured in China. After 6 years of heavy wear they still look and fit beautifully (fading is nonexistent on the black one). The most recent fleece has a blue & white tag and lacks YKK zippers. Quality Control is relevant, not the country of origin. However, 6 years is a long time and things could have certainly changed.
