mgsontour Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi all The other day the toggle ( unsure if that's the correct name but the bit you hold and pull ) snapped and is sadly no longer. The zip travels back and forth so loathe replacing the entire zip but I've tried attaching a paper clip and it doesn't work very well, which I can't understand but is there a better answer?

rubyred Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 You can buy a zip closer that goes on the zip and you squeeze it together with a a pair pliers they are on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Had this happen a few times now. My solution as above - link swivel. Not the massive heavy duty ones - pick a sensible medium size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 The ring pull off a grenade works well, only fits chunky zips as on issue smocks 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
