Tobe is made overseas, so the zippers is on the left instead of right. Just need to switch hands when zipping up.

i noticed that last night too on my tobe wear when i tried it on for the first time. that is the womens style/side, or at least what i have always thought and considered it. Maybe it is just over seas zipper, never knew that. it zips with the opposite (left) hand/way as many mens style jackets that i own.
it will take some getting used to, actually for me. it is the ONLY jacket that i now own that zips that way.

It's not based on where it was made but rather where is was designed. TOBE Outerwear is based in Sweden and in Sweden the zipper pull is on the opposite side as here in the states. It is something that many notice right away; however, it really doesn't take much getting used to.

i know one thing, im definitely not concerned with the zipper on that side, just found it funny when i went to zip it last night.
i can attest so far to the finish and fit of both the jacket and the pants, they are top notch! material is very nice and the color of that red with the gray in my pants and red jacket is freaking beautiful!!
thanks again ken, cant wait to try it sooner rather than later hopefully... although it is in the 60s again in central WI today :'(

Sorry Steve...I couldn't help it, you shouldn't have said "don't laugh." Looks like great gear. See you Sunday for brushing trails, maybe I'll let you ride on my 4-wheeler again (just don't hang on so tight this time, LOL!!).
