oh, it'd be worth any zipper fix. it's a mountain hardwear. still in great shape except the dern zipper. i got two of differing colors, but this one's my favorite. they work great under a windproof shell to stay warm while riding without being at all bulky....like down or what have you

anyway, thank you for the suggestion. i'll look for that kit if waxing or lubing doesn't work. the teeth are still good shape, but yeah...the pull may be bad
