This small lipstick size product does not work well with my drysuit heavy duty zipper. Bring back the larger size tubes!

This is the best small $ investment to keep your BIG$ drysuit in tip-top shape.

For some unknown reason, zippers and I do not co-exist very well. I can only assume that I always get defective zippers. It can't be me. I can't tell for sure long term, but I do think this stuff helps. It certainly makes the zippers go around corners better. In any case,

I've used it on two zippers so far and it definitely helps them slide more freely. It does leave some excess wax that can be cleaned off with a tissue, but I don't think that is a big problem.

We've used this for years as it works well, but wish there was a bit more product per tube.

I use this on my semi dry chest zipper. It works just fine. Not sure I really need it or if it makes much of a difference, really...

My dry suit zipper was always sticky, even with the factory-recommended lube. With this, it's smooth as silk.

After I purchased a drysuit from NRS, I mentioned to a product rep that the waterproof zippers were very stiff and the zipper pull hard to move. He highly recommended this product to improve ease of zipper closure and to increase the life of the zipper. The product is easy to apply and similar in consistency to "Chap stick". It certainly improved the slide and glade of the zipper pull. Having said that, be aware that a waterproof zipper will never have the high glide of a typical fabric zipper, so this product does not perform miracles. I also assume that improving the ease of zipper pull will increase the life of the zipper, but I have no direct proof since this experiment has a sample size of N = 1 and no control group.

I don't have much to report on this product, so far, but the NRS system is prompting me to review. This product applicator works like a crayon. You rub it onto the zipper. Having waxed my suit once - thoroughly, I think I should have bought more wax. That is not to say that the dispenser doesn't hold much wax, but if you were to wax your suit for every use - to keep the zipper going smooth - I could see using up this stick pretty fast. As a lubricant, I'm not sure my dry suit zipper is working that much better with the wax. However, I would likely use the wax to insure that the zipper doesn't get any "more" difficult to use. As a sealant, I don't know yet whether the wax makes a lot of difference on a new suit.

I use this about as often as treat my gaskets of my dry suit! It's a must have in your repair kit. On every single Grand trip I've taken, I've been the only one with zipper lube and it has saved the day when a member's suit failed. I wish it had a screw top but a baggie solves that problem in warmer areas.

I've broken drysuit zippers before by continuing to force them when they start to bind. This lubricant works great and definitely increases the life (and ease of use) of your drysuit zipper. Only need to apply it a couple of times per season.

I used the product on a hard to pull zipper and it is now easy. I love this stuff.

Zipper lube
By stacye
This Zipper Lubricant works great. Its hard to get excited about zipper lube, but I use this on my wer suit zippers and it works like a charm. As with all zipper lubricants a little bit goes a long way.

works well
Zippers have just two jobs: zip and unzip. That's it. Make sure the zippers in your high-tech gear are doing their job. McNett's Zip Tech is a high-performance lubricant for water tight and air tight zippers. Zip Tech protects against rust, corrosion, chlorine and salt in all temperatures. Long lasting, contains no paraffin or silicone. Zip Tech Zipper Lubricant is designed and formulated to protect and lubricate all types of watertight and airtight zippers. Zip Tech lubricates and protects the zippers and zipper skirts on dry suits, survival suits, environmental suits, dry bags and more.
Special ingredients inhibit rust, resist corrosion, and repel dirt, sand and organic residue. Zip Tech helps protect against exposure to harmful chlorine, salt and pollutants. Zip Tech will not flake or jam in extreme temperatures. Zip Tech provides an even layer of protection and lubricant that provides UV protection for nylon and plastic zippers so it's also great for your wet suit too! Zip Tech Lubricant is like a chap stick applicator", just rub it along the zipper teeth and work the zipper slider up and down to evenly distribute the lubricant and you're done. This semi-solid zipper lubricant is non-toxic, biodegradable and comes in a 4.5 gr applicator. Zip Tech is proudly made in the USA.
