Sleeping bag Slider and Clamp

Sleeping bag Zipper Repair

A broken sleeping bag zipper slider is a real drag when you're in the backcountry and c-c-cold. Mountain Hardwear has the solution - the Zipper repair clamp. According to the company, "The Zipper Repair clamp makes replacing a worn slider in the field easy; simply cut a small hole near the end of the zipper coil, slide the new one on, and seal the hole with the provided clamp."

Mountain Hardwear PR gal Cathy Wiedemer says the clamp will work with any zipper and comes with two sizes of sliders. See the website description here.
