salt and lure vest Zips???

#1 Post by validoc »

Hi,
ive recently bought a half decent vest for lure fishing and after each session ill hang it up to air out, the problem then is that every one of the zips seize up within a couple of days and its a fight to release them. They wont last long getting this sort of abuse and they would difficult to replace also i dont want to have to wash the vest after every session. Ive tried WD40 but was wondering if there are any other suggestions to prevent this ??
