I haven’t tried this gadget yet, but I hear it’s good.
I busted the zipper on my XC boots. It’s not easy fixing these things. I suppose a boot shop can do it. I did once fix a zipper with a clip-on replacement. It was a bit bigger and kinda clunky. It might’ve been one of these ZlideOn’s.
Martha bought me a zip slider at the fabric shop, but I can’t see how to install it. These things are made for uninstalled zippers.
I see there is ONE product made to fix these things. It looks pretty good:
Now, you’ll see they suggest measuring your zipper with a digital micrometer. Uh, I don’t have that. I suppose they’re cheapish now and I should get one. I recall $12-20 at the Despot. (Hopefully your local hardware is in that range, too.)
I googled a bit more and here’s a place that shows how to size em WITHOUT the mic. Presto! I’ve now ordered my zip. I’ll update this once I give it a try…
