    Wetsuit & Drysuit Zippers

    Regular cleaning and lubrication helps zippers last the lifetime of the suit. Without proper care (left), expensive zippers degrade and need costly replacement. Keep your wet suit, dry suit, gear bag zippers free of harmful dirt, sand and salt deposits with Zip Care™ (right).

  • 

    Step 1:

    Unzip item and use Zip Care‘s brush top to remove grit and dust.

    Step 2:

    Brush Zip Care generously onto zipper teeth to clean and lightly lubricate. Wipe off excess.

  • 

    Step 3:

    Carefully open and close zipper to thoroughly distribute Zip Care.

    Zip Tech™

    Zip Tech™ is preferred for multi-dive lubrication. Use Zip Tech to lubricate and protect watertight and airtight zippers on dry suits from corrosion and harmful salt, chlorine and other pollutants. To use: Open zipper and apply Zip Tech sparingly only to the outer teeth of the zipper.

    Max Wax™

    If you prefer a paraffin wax and silicone-based lubricant, Max Wax™ is great for general zipper lubrication. Note: Some suit manufacturers prefer you use silicone free formulas such as Zip Tech and Zip Care.
