Mending is better than ending: if your zip has lost its bite then our Full Zip Replacement is for you. Our expert Repair Heroes are on hand to replace most zips be they on coats, tents or rucksacks. If we can source it, we can replace the zip on any brand.

Advice from our Repair Heroes

“You can tell that you need a new zip if there’s damage to the zip teeth, fabric or retainer. If all these things look okay and it’s just not functioning as it should, you may just need a Zip Slider Replacement.

It helps us repair your kit more quickly if you can let us know specifics about what kind of zip you’re after. For example, do you want a close match, a fun new colour or have any special requests? Just pop a note in with your order.”
