This is what we recommend for cleaning and maintenance post-trip. For long, dusty hikes (e.g., PCT and Hayduke) we recommend the portable zipper stick for cleaning and upkeep while in the field.
The Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant is designed to remove sand, dirt and salt deposits that can make a zipper stick. Previously known as Zip Care, this zipper lubricant’s handy brush top removes debris and delivers its cleaning formula right between the zipper teeth. Plus, it leaves behind a clear, protective and lubricating film to prevent corrosion of zippers.
