  • I find rain shells for hiking, or ones made out of Gore-Tex to be effective. These fabrics need to be clean to work at their best. After a bit, you might have to wash them with a compound like Tech wash. Really as long as the Jacket is rated to be waterproof it should be good. Fit is most important. And depending on what style of jacket you are looking for depends on what would be considered good.




  • Dude, not everything can or should be repaired

    This is coming from someone who makes thier living on repairing all manner of items.

    That sort of strap is super cheap and meant to be easily replaced. Straps are meant to be the fail point of a wristwatch.

    The movement is the part that should be repairable.

    You have some serious tunnel vision if a strap ruins the sentimental value of a watch.

    Give up move on.


  • Those pins generally only deform in a plastic manner. Those side covers are crimped in by a machine.

    And if the effort, skill, and tools required exceed the average person’s ability then it is effectively not possible.

    I repair machines for a living, these straps aren’t something that many people could remove a link without fucking up.
