Broken Jacket ZIP - SV650.org

Is there a secret quick fix to getting zips to work again? The zip on my bike jacket just stopped working

None of the teeth mesh at all, it just stays apart. Can't see any teeth out of place or anything

Get to a decent clothing repair shop and replace the zip.

Had to do that on my trousers recently (only 18 months old too- gah!). Though I have also started excercise again, to prevent this in the future...!

My inner zip on the jacket is going too- will see if HG will send me the zip so I can get it done...

It's crap because the jacket's not even that old. Although it had been down the road. I might just go back to my old jacket for now, then get new 1 piecers for next season
