nick_c Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hello, can someone recommend something to put/rub/spray on the zip on my barbour jacket? It really it tight to get both sides located so that the zip will zip up, to the point that I think I will rip it. Cheer's Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPT1 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Silicon spray, bike shops sell it. Wear your coat to shop try it out. Don,t use WD40 it will dissolve the finish on your coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
