A zipper is the only thing between you and ten million mosquitoes! The Gear Aid Zipper repair kit gets those busted zippers back on task.

Outdoor gear comes with lots of zippers and unfortunately, zippers often die long before your gear wears out
And the problem is usually the zipper slider, not the zipper teeth; with the Gear Aid Zipper repair kit, you can keep them all functioning properly
Zipper repair supplies include two #8 double-coil zipper sliders, one #5 double-coil zipper slider, one #10 single-tab coil slider and one #5 single-zipper slider
Sewing kit includes one #69 olive green thread bobbin, one #16 sewing needle and 1 seam ripper
Zipper repair kit is great for individuals but can also be shared with your troop; kit comes with instructions and a gear repair manual

Made in USA.

Comments about Gear Aid Zipper Repair Kit:

1.I used this to repair a coat and not a tent.
2.Directions say, "Pry off metal stop at bottom of the zipper...." Take a look at YOUR metal stop and tell me if you can "Pry it off."
3.What happens if the "stop" is, in my case, plastic?
4.So, what I did was use a single-edge razor blade to cut above the stop into the zipper fabric so I could insert the new slider and sewed up the cut with the thread supplied, but not with the gigantic, weapons-grade (16 guage) needles supplied; I had to use a small, very thin needle.
5. Since the kit is obviously oriented to non-apparel, most of the slides are very big and double-sided. Only two (#5 size) will fit your typical outdoors coat. I wish there was a checkoff Bottom Line category, "Recommend with grave reservations."
