Gear Aid GearAid Zipper Stick Tech is a pair of compact zipper lubricant sticks (2 x 4.8 g) formulated to reduce friction and restore smooth operation of both metal and plastic zippers. The sticks are designed for easy, targeted application on sliders and teeth to prevent snags, ease stiff or corroded zippers, and maintain reliable function on outdoor clothing and equipment during everyday use or extended trips.
Advantages
The lubricant sticks provide precise, mess-minimised application that reaches slider mechanisms without contaminating fabric. Their solid formula resists melting and migration, making them suitable for a range of temperatures and outdoor conditions. Packed as two small sticks, they offer convenient portability for on-the-go repairs and regular maintenance of jackets, backpacks, tents and luggage.
Suitable for
- Outdoor jackets and parkas with metal or plastic zippers
- Backpacks and daypacks to prevent zipper jams
- Tent zippers and sleeping bag closures
- Luggage and travel bags for smoother opening and closing
- Field repairs during hiking, camping and expeditions

- Suitable for: metal and plastic zippers
- Form: solid stick for direct application

How to use
Apply the stick directly to clean, dry zipper teeth and slider surfaces, rubbing gently along both sides of the zipper to transfer a thin, even layer of lubricant. Work the slider back and forth several times to distribute the lubricant through the mechanism. If residue accumulates, wipe excess with a cloth. For corroded or heavily soiled zippers, clean first with a dry brush or mild cleanser before applying the stick.
Usage recommendations
Store the sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to maintain solidity. Reapply as needed when zippers begin to feel stiff or sticky; regular light maintenance helps extend zipper life and prevent damage during outdoor activities.
