pete_a Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Had a blown out leg zipper on a pair of goretex bibs, the zipper teeth had pulled off the zipper backing material...wasn't sure if it could get fixed or not. Took them first to a well-known repair shop north of the U District...they told me the zipper was toast and it would be $100 to have the entire zipper replaced. I wasn't willing to spend that much on a pair of Moonstone bibs I'd originally bought for $100, so on the recommendation of some friends I went to NW Gear Repair, the seamstress said she thought she could fix the zipper and that replacement wouldn't be necessary. Picked them up yesterday, cost was $10 and they are as good as new...anyways, thought I'd pass along a recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_morph Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I would second the recommendation. They do great work and cheap! Its funny as hell to bring your gear into a store front that specializes in little girls ballet and dance stuff! I have had packs and gaiters and rain pants repaired there, all at a very reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
