 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Hi Zip snapped on an arcteryx comp jacket that I may need in the next 6 weeks. Contacted Arcteryx and they would repair but would have to send to Switzerland and it might take 6 weeks. As its the only decent jacket that's not in store, dont really want to be without it for 6 weeks. Anyone any suggestions. The Zip has effectively snapped in half so it has the slider but no pull tab.

I've replaced the pull tags off zips with a thin key ring before.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Dreamcatcher, +1, or a spliced nylon cord torched at the ends.

@dan100, if it's a replacement pull tab you need then what you need is a Zip Buddy. They're designed to replace the fiddly little pull tab with a bigger version that can be used with gloved hands etc. The company that makes them sent me a few samples to see if I wanted to purchase some so I put them on a couple of jackets and they actually work really well. I've got a spare so if you PM me your address you can have it.

FAQ
But they don't use genuine zips, you'll get a generic one.
you send it to the UK Arcteryx agent who then forward it on -it used to be 
So I'd try them first, if its not they'll probably know who it is
