Sometimes it is not one day, but a few years.
I'm riding today in my more robust rain jacket, it's much warmer today than recent cold temps so I unzip my pit zippers.
On this day I do so with one hand on the bar hood due to my new bar mitts.
The bar mitts are a recent purchase.
I usually sit up and straighten my zipper pit hands free.
Being that my arms are shorter than the industry standard means that I require tension on my arm sleeve to allow for the zipper to open/close.
Well today, 3-4+ years later, I can meet my desire by keeping one hand on the bar hood and grabbing the other pit zipper, pull with my free hand and the zipper works.
The arm pit zippers were designed for a rider not quite my style.
DUH.
Slow on the draw here, but still learning year after year.
