Article: FixnZip:Replacement Zipper Slider

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
It's a product that's long overdue when you consider zippers have been around a good hundred years now.
 
That's awesome. I've been wanting to add another zip slider in my Jerven bag so I can create an opening anywhere along the length, I thought about using an ordinary zip puller and pulling it apart with some pliers and squeezing it back again. But that looks a lot easier!
 
Needed the small for a Rohan zip in gillet. Bit fiddly but it worked a treat for zipping into the outer shell. Had tried YKK for a replacement with no joy. Thanks John

WOW!!!
An impressive piece of engineering - Whitcomb Judson must be smiling in his grave! Credit and respect to the inventors, whoever they are.

Many years ago during my military service, I prescribed that an army section (or between two) should carry a small equipment repair kit in the field. Simple and light, it'd not take up much weight or space. Being a Private, no-one really took heed.

I still vehemently argue my case. Translating it to the civvie world, it'd mainly fall into being an essential for expeditions. After reading this review, I've added this zip repair kit list. It could literally be a lifesaver, especially in alpining and colder climate trekking/climbing.

Thanks for the review, John, I'd have gone on without knowing anything about this brilliant do-dat.
