Ok, I have broken zippers on both tourmaster (front zip) and first gear (side zip) pants in the last year. I am looking for quality, rugged waterproof overpants. Any thoughts? I am thinking roadcrafters.

greetings roninvt...
are you wanting proper armored overpants that go over street clothes or you talking rain overpants that go over proper armored riding pants...

I am talking armored overpants to go over street clothes.

Did you contact the manufacture to see if they will make it right? My cheap cyclegear sedici have lifetime warranty on the zippers.

I am not a sales slip saver, so I may have a hard time proving date of purchase. However, I will repair them. But, I am leaning towards buying some better quality gear in the hopes I will get more miles between repairs.

i use motoport stretch kevlar police pants (http://www.motoport.com/index.php?option=com_redshop&view=category&layout=detail&cid=29&Itemid=15)... sprayed with fabric care 303 they are waterproof for about an hour... if im gonna be in rain longer than a hour i slip on rain overpants over my motoport pants... this way i can wear pants that breathe 100% of the time and have rain protection as i need it... these come with an internal rain liner as well although i dont use one... the folks that do say it breaths and is 100% waterproof...
if i were gonna go the other way and get armored pants that do not require a rain liner or rain overpants i would go with something with a proven track record from here (http://advrider.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6)...
