Broken pack zipper
So I had my pack out camping recently and ran into a problem with it. The zipper, or rather the rails that the zipper rides on seperated at one point on my bag. The thing is it now won't zip past that part which sucks cause it will keep working it's way further down and worse off.
Anyone know how to fix it and make everything just work the same way again as new? Would a dry cleaner or something fix zippers?

I don't know the proper word... but a "shoe fixer" can fix any zipper on backpacks.

Even if it is not the material itself but the actual zipper?
I will look into it.
Thanks

Depends how tangled up it got I suppose.... but when my jansport's zipper wasn't working (and it didnt reap off from the material... it was just a zipper thing) he fixed it.

Good to know, I know there used to be some shoe cobblers in the city next door, but not sure if they sre still there. I will track one down though.

If not I'd just go to a place that does clothing alterations and such and get the whole zipper replaced. Often craft stores will do that kind of thing.
