Well, it seems that I've gotten as much use out of my jib zipper as possible and now need to replace it.

I haven't liked the typical

fine gauged

factor zippers because they seem to be prone to fail, jam, become misaligned when first starting, etc.

I've always thought a larger gauge zipper would work lots better, like those sewn into zippered doors and windows of boat tops and enclosures; for example something like Vislong 10 mm finished zipper, single slider from Sailrite.com

What say you guys???

Thanks,

Tom
