But if I was going to have it repaired, I would have it replaced with velcro. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. *Repeal the nightmares. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe My new pants have some pockets that have a zipper covered by a velcroed flap. |

I just fixed that problem last week by slipping a paperclip through the zipper to replace the pull. Paper clips are a little hard to grip. On the side zippers of some ski pants I wrapped the paper clip pull replacement with a bit of duct tape to make an easier grip. Really. I add a bit of nylon cord to each of the zippers on my jacket and fleece so they're easily gripped with ski gloves on. All carefully colour coordinated of course... |
