Hello everyone,
I've got a Wingnut bag with a very, very dead main zip. Totally had it. The rest of the bag's fine, and I'd like to replace the zip is possible, as there's loads of life left in it.
Has anyone sent kit in somewhere for repair, and got good service?

I should point out that zip replacement is a fantastic thing: Musto has replaced broken zips on kit I've bought from them in the past, and Henri Lloyd are also good at replacing drysuit seals and zips. I'm just not sure they will replace zips on stuff they don't make themselves.

Many thanks in advance!

Lots of dry cleaners offer repair services too. My local place replaced a zip on a Fox hoody for about a tenner.

If the teeth are ok, you can get clip ons

Thanks all! Unfortunately, it's the teeth that have had it. One of those funny waterproof-but-not waterproof zip jobbies. They seem to go at the teeth much more frequently.
