Cheers, what do you mean "wore out"? Did the male pin tear?
I have had my Californian since 2015 and never had a problem with it.
Perhaps it is due to the cross zip design this happened, could be other things as I bought it 'nearly new' or just bad luck. The insides of the slider became worn and stopped the zip knitting together properly. This inevitably left you with the slider at half mast with the zip open underneath, not a good look trying to wrestle out of that situation when you're out and about town. I contacted Eastman asking them to send me a new slider but they wanted the whole jacket sent to them to inspect it. I replaced the slider myself with a vintage YKK.
I think I remember talking about it on here in a thread about zips . . .
